Updates and Announcements
This week
ends the first nine weeks.
Our first Planning Day is this Friday and grades will continue to be added until about
this Monday. For this reason a third and
final progress report will go home after all grades have been averaged. Scholarship warnings have been sent out
also. Scholarship warning means your
child’s grade is below average or your child‘s behavior needs to be discussed
with the teacher. I feel this first nine
weeks has been a good adjustment period to fourth grade.
Your child
has several math. logins for various websites: www.ixl.com. https://www.learni-ready.com, www.pearsonsuccessnet.com accelerated
reader and their computer logins. Cool math 4 kids also have a multiplication
game called crazy taxi that would be fun and beneficial for the children to
practice their multiplication facts on.
In order to show a gain on math F.C.A.T. your child must know their
multiplication facts. We have to do so
many strategies in math that involve math facts being memorized:
multiplication, division, fractions being simplified and making equivalent
fractions, and finding the rule in algebraic equations. Some of the children
have the multiplication facts memorized.
Your child is at a disadvantage if they don’t know these facts. Please spend ten minutes a day on these
facts. The Dollar Tree has flash cards for one dollar. Once these facts have
been memorized your child can enjoy this investment for the rest of their
lives.
All of the children should have read at least six books by now. The children that read for at least an hour a
day usually score at the 90% on any standardized test. Please encourage your child to read. Find books that will spark your child’s interest.
November 25 and 26 is the date our first
field trip. Permission slips are going
out today. A good way to make memories
with your child is to go on a field trip with them. If you are going to be chaperone you must go
through a background check by Duval county Public Schools. Please note the small writing on the bottom
of the permission slips for more detail. Chaperones are not to bring younger
sibling on field trips as this is defeating the purpose of your going to help
out the teacher with the children.
Mrs. North has been coming in to run the
classroom store. Thanks Mrs. North for
doing a wonderful job. Noah Bartok’s mom
set up our booths for the howls and haystacks and decorated Mr. Prater’s door
for red ribbon week. Thanks to Noah’s mom for all the thing you do.
Mrs. Wingate is the PTA president and she
spearheaded the whole Fall Carnival. We enjoyed the best Howls and Haystacks
ever. I think this event was well
attended. Thank you Mrs. Wingate for
doing such a wonderful job on such a tremendous project. PTA dues are only $5.00 a family.
There is no school on Friday.
