What an exciting first FULL week of school we had.  It is nice to get into the routine of things.  Students had fun starting individual lessons this week, and  playing nine square at recess!

Please look for a purple piece of paper that talks about our upcoming field trip to Yankton, SD.  If you have any questions about this trip or would like to come along, please let us know.  It will be here before we know it.  The 4th graders are already excited, except for the part when we said no electronics for the drive...

We don't have our iPads yet, which makes it hard to do research.  In Science we are learning how animals use their senses help them survive.  They are supposed to choose an animal and write down how their senses help them survive.  Your child should have brought home an example, so you can better understand how to help them with their research.

Our first math test was today on place value, rounding, and comparing numbers!  Everyone did a great job on showing what they have learned so far!  We will be starting adding and subtracting multi digit numbers when we come back from Labor Day weekend.

Here is the information on the purple piece of paper, just in case you don't see it in your child's folder!:)

We have an exciting field trip planned for the 4th graders on Thursday, September 22nd.  Our class will be going to Yankton, SD.  We will be visiting Gavins Point Dam, Lewis and Clark Visitor Center, and the Fish Hatchery & Aquarium.  We will be taking the school van and Mrs. Noble’s vehicle to get the students to Yankton.  We have enough spaces for 5 adults to travel  with us.  If we have more than 5 adults that would like to go on this trip, you will have to provide your own transportation.
