Welcome back after the extended weekend.  Happy Eid to those families that are celebrating!

Weekly Spelling words (multi-syllabic short a and e):  problem, latitude, machine, system, member

Academic Spelling words:  points, lines, line segments, rays, quadrangles

As 4th graders, students will be given 10 spelling words at the beginning of each week.  Students will do a few activities using these words in class, but are expected to study the list of words for the test on Friday.  There is no official homework that needs to be turned in for spelling words.  A list of suggested activities to do with your child at home is being sent home today.  Every Friday, the test will include the 10 given words plus 5 “cold” words that are a mystery to the students but follow the pattern for the week.

Please continue to follow the arrival and dismissal procedures that were set up at the beginning of the year.  A pink note went home on Friday with a few changes to the arrangements, however 4th grade remains the same.

Open House is this Thursday, September 15th from 6:00-7:30 at night.  Stop by the classroom to meet Ms. Shene and see all of the exciting things that are happening this year!

Several papers are coming home today from the PTA including Officer and Open Chair Positions, joining the Snow PTA, and a Box Tops Contest.

Thank you to all of the wonderful families that have sent in suggested supplies and donations for the classroom.  It looks like we’re going to have a fantastic year!!!
