Week of 1/25 - 1/29

This week in Class 4:

STATE PROJECT PACKET: This past Friday the State Project packet was sent home in your child's folder. It is yellow. The packet outlines all the important information that your child will need to accomplish this task! We will go over everything in class, but it is important that you READ EVERYTHING and sign it by Friday! You child will also need to let me know what state that they have decided on by Friday, as well.

TESTS:

Wednesday:
1)Math Test 16 - (a practice test will be completed on Monday that prepares them for the test. Help them go over each problem for the test)

2)Vocabulary Test: Unit 10 - Study each word and definition, as well as, understand each synonym and antonym and how they relate to the words

Thursday:

1)Practice Spelling Test 20 - Please have your child begin studying their spelling words on Monday night! I have noticed a decline in many of my student's average spelling grades as the year has continued and I cannot stress enough how important it is that they are learning to spell words correctly! This is a skill they will need for the rest of their lives, so please help them become disciplined about studying their words and doing well on their tests. Cramming their words in on Wednesday night is not the best method to helping them learn! Studying the first column in the list Monday night by writing each word at least 3 times each, then studying the second column in the list on Tuesday, and then studying the last column on Wednesday and THEN taking the practice test and refining the words missed; is one really great strategy to help them study! They could also write each word every night at least three times! You need to figure out what will work best for your child and adjust, even if it is more work!

2)Science Test: Unit 4 - This test is important, as we have only had one science test grade for Trimester 2 and will only have one more (most likely). Our units are longer, so it is important to begin studying the Study guide now, which is already in your child's binder from this past Thursday. Have your child bring home their science book and go through the chapter with them. Quiz them from the study guide and make sure they understand the concepts of the Skeletal and Muscular system! They need to know about the 5 major joints in the human body, where they are, and what they are called, as well as the purpose of bones and what they are made of. We will be reviewing in class this week, too!

Friday: Spelling Test 20

In other news:

This week we will begin reviewing our Grammar Unit on Punctuation, so it looks like we will have a Grammar test next week.

Our field trip is Monday, February 22nd to the Koger Center for The Freedom Train play. More information to come in the next few weeks!

Have a blessed week and continue to pray for each student and their teacher! :)
