As the cold weather has arrived please help your child be prepared for all kinds of weather! Coats, hats, gloves/mittens daily and as snow accumulates, snowpants and boots!

Hello 4th Grade Families!
The fourth graders asked if one of their memory verses could be their line in the Christmas program. I am fine with that!
Please work with your child to learn their line for the program! Most have it down already but encourage them to speak clearly, slowly and strongly!
Each student wrote their line in their planner so you should be able to find it there to help them!
Aiden, Luke and Ella are saying their lines alone while all others are saying it with a partner!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Happy evening!

Happy Friday!
This week went very quickly! With the Christmas Program coming up quickly (Friday, December 9th @ 6:30) and the excitement of Christmas in general, the day really fly by! Each student has one line to memorize for the program from the bible verse Luke 2:8-14. Please help your child practice and memorize this line for next week! (The verse they are responsible for memorizing is written in their planner)
Your child should have brought their December memory sheet home (green). Please be sure they are prepared for memory. It is a grade that can quickly be affected by a lack of preparation!
There was also a book order sent home. Please have your orders in by Friday, December 9th to ensure a "before Christmas break delivery"! :)
Gingerbread house construction will take place on Wednesday, December 21st in the morning. Look for a list of candy donations soon to provide for the whole class to share.
Please encourage your child to continue working on multiplication facts as their knowledge of these facts have really helped them with division. We have started division, moved to division with remainders and will be working towards long division next!
Blessings on your weekend ahead!
God's Peace to you during this ever so busy time of year!

A few things to be aware of...
- No School November 23, 24, and 25th! (Blessing on your time spent with friends and family and safe travels for all)
- There will be NO spelling test next week
- There will be ONE memory verse due either Monday OR Tuesday (which ever your child prefers)
- We started practicing for the SmarterBalance tests today and all went very well!
We recorded a Readers Theatre early in the week! All (except Aiden) have been able to see it! Please ask your child what role they played and their thoughts on what it takes to put on a "play".
Blessings on your weekend! May you enjoy some rest, fellowship, and joy!

Conferences are coming up Nov. 10th and 15th. Kay sent an email with a link for you to sign up for a time that works for you.
We do not have chapel on Wednesday this week. We will be having a special Veteran's Day Chapel on Friday, November 11th. The choir and the 5th-8th grade band will help with that special service. In the afternoon we will take the choir to Active Generations for a performance.
We are having a food drive for the Disabled American Veterans. Please bring nonperishable food items down to the lobby by Wednesday, November 16th.
In Social Studies we are making books about the Lewis and Clark expedition. We will finish the books this upcoming week, so please be on a lookout for those at home! This is a good opportunity for your child to show you how much we have learned about their exciting adventure.
In math we are working on double digit multiplication. For example 34 X 53= They have been shown two strategies on how to solve the problem. One way is the traditional method (which we were all taught) and the other is the area model. If you don't know what that is, ask your child! Hopefully they will be able to teach you. We will be sending home math journals on Monday, so you can see both strategies.
Looking forward to seeing all of you for parent teacher conferences!

4th grade celebrations and experiences
Hello 4th Grade Families!
We have been having lots of fun in the classroom the last couple of days!

Here are some pictures of their finals projects!

Yesterday we celebrated the Reformation by doing several things with our pumpkins before carving them! They even got named! Bob Jr., Count Drac, Striker, Doodlebug and Strong Father! These are how the pumpkins turned out!
Here is a chart we made recording a little bit of our research!
Thank you to the Iverson family for donating the pumpkins for this project!
Also thanks to Aidens grandparents and Mrs. Iverson for helping us with this fun day!
Please keep in mind shorts cannot be worn to school again until 4th quarter.
We will remain on the October memory sheet for the remainder of this week! I will hand out November's memory verses on Friday!
Blessings on your week ahead!
Hope and Happiness
