Reminders...again!

Tuesday, May 17

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As you know, school is quickly coming to an end, and the 4th grade is as busy as ever!  We wanted to share a few more details about our upcoming events.  All of these upcoming events include a lot of time outdoors, so please be vigilant of the weather and prepare accordingly with sunscreen, jackets, sunglasses, hats, etc.  Please contact your child’s teacher with any questions.
   

FRIDAY, MAY 20 - FIELD DAY

Come watch the kids compete!  Students may want to bring a water bottle.

Wednesday, May 25 - Lumberjack Show

Send a cold lunch with your child if you aren’t planning to order a school lunch.  Students will not need any money.

Friday, May 27 -Barron County Historical Museum

***Students should wear their field day t-shirts**

The buses are scheduled to depart HIS for the museum promptly at 8:30, so please take extra care to ensure your child is here on time as the bus will not wait for anyone.

Electronics will not be permitted at all on this day. Please do not send them to school.  

Students should either bring a lunch from home or order one from the school by Thursday, May 19!  

The museum has a gift shop and a “saloon” where children can purchase things like sarsaparilla, candy, and gifts.  Kids can also CHOOSE to make a jump rope and keep it for $1.  You DO NOT need to send money with your child, but if you want to ana are able to do so, we are asking that children do not bring more than $10 with them.  Each student will be responsible for their own money.

Week in Review

Hello! Wow! What a week it has been. We have learned a lot and also perfected a lot of our routines! The kiddos have done a great job! We have learned all kinds of letters in our phonics lessons including n, o and t! We have learned about reading to someone and reading to self for our Daily 5 and also have learned about our expectations for 1st grade writing and 1st grade pictures for Writer's Workshop. In math we have learned about 5 groups and how to make numbers greater than 5 by making a 5 group and some more ones! We have also read lots of books about the alphabet and are becoming rock stars with our letters! I am so proud! We are doing FABULOUS in first grade! BUT... there are a few minor things we need to work on... 1. bathroom--our behavior in the bathroom hasn't been the  greatest! We need to remember to use 1 pump of soap, 1 paper towel and that we go in, go to the bathroom and get out! 2. We also need to work on blurting out. We have RULE #2: Raise your h...

Halloween Party Letter/Google Doc

Our Halloween party will be on Friday, October 30th from 12:30-2:15.   We have volunteers coming down from the high school to help facilitate all of the fun.  Mrs. Marienfeld's class will be joining our class for the fun.   As a part of the fun and and in hopes of keeping the massive amount of sugar down a little bit, we are making a classroom trail mix.   I am sending home a letter tomorrow about it. If you did not get the letter from your student you may click here to view it.   For the first time ever (thank you Mrs. Marienfeld for the idea), I am attempting to use Google Drive to help the sign up process. I have shared this sign up through Google Drive with parents who's emails I already have. If you did not get the email, please click here and you can also view it and sign up if you wish. Thank you so much!  Let me know what you think of using email/Google Drive to communicate and sign up for these types of things.

Sorry! :(

HELLO! I am so sorry that I have kind of forgotten about updating my blog because of Christmas Break and all of the snow days/cold days we have had! END OF 2ND QUARTER/1ST SEMESTER We are coming to the close of the 2nd Quarter which also marks the end of the 1st Semester of 4th grade. I cannot believe it at all!!! MATH We have started our new math unit. Unit #4 is going to be a combination of comparison word problems, algebra and a few other new ideas dealing with mathematics. It is still VERY IMPORTANT that your student be practicing their flash cards for both division and multiplication. I have to be honest when I say they will not do well in this unit if they do not know their facts. So keep up the good work with practicing!!! ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE ARTS (ELA) We have also started a new novel, Mouse and the Motorcycle. This new novel marks the beginning of our 3rd ELA Unit titled "Animals are Characters, Too!" We will be exploring animal characteristics, perso...
