All fourth grade students will be taking a math quiz every Monday for the rest of school year. I will announce when we don’t have a quiz in my weekly blog post and I will write it in the planner.

Students will take their first quiz on Monday, September 9th. Tomorrow we are working in centers to cover each skill for the quiz. The worksheets they take home tomorrow will be used as a study guide for the quiz.

Good evening students and parents!

The fourth grade team sent home a reading log today with all students. We are asking for parents to support this system and encourage your student to read a little every night. I discussed with the class the importance of good habits and routines. I told them to start with five, uninterrupted minutes of reading tonight or even this week. Then add time each week. We would love for students to choose to read and to find good fit books that make them excited to read. Ideally, 20 to 30 minutes of reading-4 or 5 times a week – will established good reading routines and provide students with extra reading practice. Also, reading to younger siblings at home is good practice and meaningful for the older student. They can record this reading on their logs too.

Our special schedule has changed this week. When the schedule is set I will send home a paper copy for you to have. WE HAVE GYM ON THURSDAY this week.

Lunch is going well. All 4th grades have a morning snack/ recess break. Please send in a healthy snack. Water bottles are encouraged too.

That’s all for now,

A. Cronin

The fourth grade classes have gotten together to work on team building activities. Each activity required students to work with someone who was not in their class. Also the activities required students to discuss their strategies for solving each problem. The students had fun and got a chance to strengthen their problem solving skills.

I apologize for the photos being crooked…I am having trouble with our new blog steps for including images. I hope you enjoy them!

Greetings Parents,

Many thanks for all your help and support this morning. Also, thank you so much for the school supplies …we are well stocked and ready to work.

This year there are three fourth grades. Starting on Wednesday we will rotate our classes through the fourth grade-my class will go to Mrs. Greco for SCIENCE, Ms. Vouchard for MATH and I will teach SOCIAL STUDIES. This rotation will happen each day for an hour.

In addition, fourth grade students will have one forty minute period of music and technology each week, and two forty five minute periods of art and gym each week. When our special schedule is set I will send home a copy. This week we will have music tomorrow afternoon and then GYM on WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY!

MANY, MANY THANKS to ALL the fourth grade PARENTS who made today FABULOUS!

Greetings to All,

Many thanks to those of you that have signed up for food and supplies for our grade level picnic tomorrow. We will all walk together to LEVAGOOD PARK around 9:15 tomorrow. We will stay until about 2:30. I hope you can swing by and visit for part of the day.

Please send a bagged lunch with your student tomorrow. Parents will provide drinks, fruit, dessert, and an assortment of  paper products.

Today we spent time with our kindergarten book buddies. We made them cards and a bracelet-they made us a card and a book mark. We had fun saying goodbye and see y’a next year to our new friends.

See you tomorrow,

A. Cronin

GOOD MORNING,

Well another rainy day…so our field day will be modified indoors. Each class now has a scheduled time for some games in the cafeteria and the bounce house in the gym.

We will have FUN…so bring your lunches and smiles to our last Monday of fourth grade!
