Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend! \u00a0The weather was so beautiful. \u00a0Hopefully you were able to enjoy a cider mill or apple orchard!<\/p>\n
Reminders for this Week:<\/p>\n
We will be starting the MAP test. \u00a0A yellow note went home explaining this new assessment. \u00a0Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast.<\/p>\n
No School Friday (Oct. 3rd) and Monday (Oct. 6th).<\/p>\n
We are learning:<\/p>\n

Daily 5\/Cafe–This week we will be working on main idea and details. \u00a0Students will be using a graphic organizer to identify main idea and details with a nonfiction selection. \u00a0Fourth graders will also be working on biographies. \u00a0We will also be starting book club this week. \u00a0Students will be working in small groups to read and discuss their book.<\/p>\n
We have also begun “Book Talks.” \u00a0This is a great way for students to share books they are reading and enjoying. \u00a0Many students choose to pick up the same books that are shared and get really excited about reading these books. \u00a0Each student will have an opportunity to share a book.<\/p>\n
Writer’s Workshop–Students are finishing up their descriptive writing pieces about their favorite place. \u00a0We will then move on to one more narrative piece. \u00a0Students will use a graphic organizer to organize their ideas before they write.<\/p>\n
