Snow?!!

Thankfully the snow has melted!   This week brings the start of Assessments for some.  The ones taking assessments have notes in their planner to remind them.  It will be the math assessment this week.  Please continue to work with your child on these important skills.  Especially multiplication and input/output tables.  A great website to help with assessments is http://www.ixl.com/math/standards/kansas/grade-4. 

Spelling test is on Friday.  Take home task is due on Thursday.  Remember that the take home task is what the skills part of the spelling test goes over.  \

Please remember that we do have school on Good Friday, April 22nd.  There is a PTA meeting this Thursday in the library at 7:00. 

Please make sure your child is getting plenty of sleep (around 10 hours) and eating a healthy breakfast.

Assessments are looming

Good afternoon,

I hope Spring Break was relaxing and reenergizing for everyone! 

The next group of students test in Math next week.  Please make sure your child is eating breakfast and getting plenty of sleep.  Continue to work with your child on their multiplication facts.  This years fourth graders are very lacking in this department.  Remember over to the left under resources there is a multiplication game that students can play.

To prepare your child for the reading assessment please work with them on prefixes and suffixes.
