Hello,

Also, Friday marks the 50th day of school. Our Book Buddies are celebrating in style-they are having a GLOW PARTY! The theme is “Let’s GLOW what we KNOW”! The 4th graders will visit for part of their party-if they wear a white shirt they will glow too!

A reminder about Parent/Teacher Conferences-ALL STUDENTS brought home a day and time-Please email, call or write if you are not able to make this time. Student report cards, NWEA scores and M-STEP results willbe discussed. Many thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Hello,

Tomorrow is ELECTION DAY so no students in the buildings. Teachers will be there all day working on curriculum.

All students brought home a PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE reminder. Please let me know if this day or time does not work out for you. You can email at school:

cronina@dearbornschools.org

During this conference time we can discuss your student’s report card, NWEA scores, Third Grade M-STEP results-and any concerns you may have at this point in time.

Students have new spelling words, word work, ZEARN math and a TSHIRT reminder. PLEASE return the T-shirt money by Friday. I have ordered a shirt for everyone in our class.

many thanks,

A. Cronin

Good afternoon,

On Monday, students will be bringing home a reminder about the day and time of your parent teacher conference. Some parents were able to sign up at our school Open House. If you were not able to sign up I have chosen a time for you. If you can not make the day or time please email me and we will arrange a different date.

Report cards, NWEA scores and 3rd grade M-STEP results are just a few of items we will discuss.

Sincerely,

A. Cronin

Greetings Friends!

A couple of reminders on this Halloween night. Fourth graders have a multiplication quiz tomorrow. Please practice if possible-zeros, ones, twos and threes.

Also, fourth grade T-Shirt orders are due tomorrow. Please see Ms. Vuichard’s blog for a color picture of the T-Shirt.

Many thanks to all the parents who came in and helped-also to Raina’s mom, Mrs. Baydoun for making some fun games for us to play!

Good evening parents,

Please visit Mr.Short’s Haigh School Blog. Due to the weather, we are cancelling the Halloween parade. We will have an indoor version but will not be able to accommodate family and friends. Please see Mr. Short’s Blog for further details.

Many thanks for your understanding,

A. Cronin

Greetings,

Student ALWAYS have MATH HOMEWORK! Please practice multiplication facts with your student. Students last week reviewed their multiplication facts for zero and one. This week are facts with two.
Please check Miss Vuichard’s blog for homework assignments and links to practice these facts at home.

WRITING-fourth graders are writing opinion papers. We have read articles on two topics: Instagram and School parties. Students state their opinion and write two reasons that support their opinion. Students are using an opinion writing template or blueprint to record their ideas (rough draft) and then after sharing this with me they type their papers in to a word document.

READING-all fourth graders are working on understanding HISTORICAL TEXTS. We have a new resource for reading. This resource is aligned with the common core. The Lesson format includes whole group, partner reading and individual practice. We are reading non fiction texts and are practicing various skills, like identifying cause and effect or identifying main idea with supporting details.

Halloween plans are in place. Many thanks to parents who have emailed me with plans for their donations to our party. It really is greatly appreciated! We will have a pizza lunch, play some games, and pass out candy. Students will be making a treat bag on Thursday morning to use to collect their goodies. We will also have ART and GYM on Thursday afternoon. The all school parade is schedule for 2:50. However, it does look like rain. We might have an indoor parade. We will see.

FRIDAY IS THE END OF THE CARD MARKING AND IS A HALF DAY OF SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS-Teachers will be at school working on report cards and lesson plans.

ALSO, NEXT TUESDAY IS NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS (ALL DAY )DUE TO THE ELECTION.

Many THANKS for all your support and cooperation,

A. Cronin
