It was a marvelous Monday in room 204. I am so proud of our hard working class! Today we learned how to write a friendly letter and are writing our first one to you. You will get to read it at your conference. In the afternoon, we worked on our natural disaster script for our news report. At the end of the day, students received their report cards. I gave them a chance to look at these on Friday. Please look for a letter to accompany the report card in the envelope. You can sign the envelope and return it to school as soon as possible. Please keep the report card.
We have a few parents who haven’t signed up for a conference time. I am more than willing to help with this. Please send me an email if I can sign you up for a time.
Fall conferences will be held on November 16th and 17th. The sign-up sheet is posted outside of our classroom. If you would like for me to sign you up for a conference, please send me an email with the approximate time and day that works best for you. I understand that may be hard to get into the building for this. I am happy to help!

What a Magnificent Monday in room 204! This morning the 4th graders went to the Battle of the Books Launch in the media center while the 3rd graders practice keyboarding skills on the laptops and desktops. The Battle is such a great opportunity for the 4th graders. Students were given the list of books today on a book mark and can check out books in our media center, the public library, or purchase these from a book store. In the afternoon, we had the best time researching our natural disaster topic with our partner during co-teaching with Mrs. Truesdell. I am so proud of our amazing class. What tremendous workers you were today! Keep up the good work.
We have a few parents who haven’t signed up for a conference time. I am more than willing to help with this. Please send me an email if I can sign you up for a time.
Fall conferences will be held on November 16th and 17th. The sign-up sheet is posted outside of our classroom. If you would like for me to sign you up for a conference, please send me an email with the approximate time and day that works best for you. I understand that may be hard to get into the building for this. I am happy to help!

It was a great day in room 204. This morning we worked so hard in our book clubs reading and discussion the events. This afternoon, we focused on science and grammar. We also learned about the value of setting academic and personal goals. Please look for a letter tonight detailing the 3/4 goal setting process. In addition to deciding on goals, we talked about the importance of a plan of action for accomplishing this goal. Finally, you will decide on a “celebration” that will take place when the goals are met. Once the goal setting form has been completed at home, please return it to school with a parent signature. Goal setting is due Monday, November 14th.
Fall conferences will be held on November 16th and 17th. The sign-up sheet is posted outside of our classroom.

It was so great to hear about your amazing Halloween Trick-or-Treating ventures today in writer’s workshop. We loved hearing about everyone’s favorite thing of Halloween!
Tomorrow we have one parent volunteer from Mrs. Frishman’s class to help pack up the science kits. It would be so great if we could get one more parent to help with this task. If we had two, the job would be so easy! The packing will begin at 11:05 and should take about 40 minutes. If you can help, that would be great! Please email me if you can volunteer.
