We had a great first week of school!  We learned so many new procedures, and had fun being Recess Rangers!  We are starting to learn about our great state of South Dakota, and ways plants and animals protect themselves.  In math we are learning place value of numbers up to the millions!!!!

This coming week Mrs. Noble will be doing placement tests for Spelling words.  It takes about a week to go through the whole process, so the first Spelling Test will happen on Friday, September 9th.

Memory will also come home soon, and the first memory quiz will be on Thursday, September 8th.

We also did a fun activity with numbers this week called "Figure Me Out!"  Students had to make up a math problem to answer a question.  For example- The number of pets I own  5 X 1 =
They are hanging outside our classroom, if you have time they are fun to look at!

4th Grade Classroom Information Sheets

Welcome to 4^th Grade! 

Helpful information:

Snack Time

        Snacks are very important to keep us focused throughout the day!   Please send TWO snack every day to school with your child.  We have a snack in the morning as well as one in the afternoon!  Simple and healthy snacks are encouraged: carrot sticks, granola bars, cut up fruit, crackers, fruit snacks, string cheese, popcorn etc.  Napkins will be available at school.  Your child will also be able to have a milk or juice during snack time which is also here at school but are encouraged to bring a water bottle to use throughout the day. 

Specials

PE

        We have PE two times per week.  Tuesday and Thursday mornings are the scheduled days for PE.  Mrs. Nelson is the teacher and she has requested every child wears tennis shoes during the PE time!  She also would like you to me cautious of what your child is wearing that day so it does not hinder their ability to actively take part in the activities of the day!  If you would like to have a separate pair of shoes to leave here at school, that might be helpful too!

Music

        Mrs. Dooley is the music teacher.  Our scheduled days for music are Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.

Spanish

        Ms. Christy is the Spanish teacher and will come into our room two times a week for 30 minutes on Monday and Wednesday morning.

Art

        Mrs. Noble will be teaching art.  Our scheduled Art time is Wednesday afternoon.

 Band

     Mrs. Dooley is in charge of this and will give details needed for those that are interested. The current day for Band is Tuesday before lunch.

Extra Tidbits

Chapel

        We have a whole school Chapel on Wednesday mornings, beginning at 8:30.  You are always welcome to join us!  There is an offering collected each week so if you are able to send a small amount weekly, it would be very helpful and a wonderful lesson in giving!  The offering monies collected go to various outreach missions throughout the year!

Book Orders

        A book order form will be sent home about once a month.  Watch for the Scholastic Book Clubs order form to come home in your child’s folder.  This is a wonderful way for our classroom to earn free books!  You may order online or pay via check.  Please send your order form and check in an envelope with your child’s name on it.  Please make your check out to Scholastic Book Club.
