**We will be having a District Common Assessment on social studies on Wednesday Oct. 29th. The test covers the material on geography that we have covered so far this year. Social studies packets and the vocabulary booklet should be used to study. Students were made aware of this test last week and hopefully have been studying every night.
**A science test on the scientific method and matter will be given on Thursday Oct. 30th. Students may use their textbooks, class notes, and classwork to help them study. there are also several videos that the students can watch to help them.
**We will begin taking timed multiplication tests this week. Students need to be working on their multiplication facts each night if they do not know them. While quite a bit of time was spent in third grade on the facts, in fourth grade we move quickly into multi-digit multiplication. It has been discussed with students that knowing multiplication facts is very important for success in math not only for the rest of this year, but for math success in the years to come. Multiplication facts are vital for success with multi-digit multiplication, division, decimals, fractions, rates, etc. Practice can be in the form of quizzing with dollar store flash cards, practicing in the car on the way to dance, soccer etc, or playing games on a free website. Thank you for supporting your children as they continue to work on their fact memorization.
**Halloween celebration information will be posted today. I will be allowing students to wear a Halloween hat of some type the afternoon of Oct. 31. Full costumes are not allowed at Lindbergh. 🙁
** Anyone that feels uncomfortable having their child at our Halloween celebration, please let me know in advance. I would like a Halloween DVD of some type to show on Friday. If you have any great Halloween DVDs please send them in and we can vote as a class as to which one we will watch. The movie MUST be G rated only. I know this leaves quite a few movies out but this is a district rule.
**If you have any questions or comments please feel free to email me.
