Hello Families!
Happy snowy Friday!
I pray you have been arriving at your destinations safely!
We wanted to say again how much we enjoyed seeing all of you at conferences!  It is nice to be able to sit down and hear insight from each other! Thank you for making them a priority!

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! Friday we celebrated finishing the book Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo by having a party (like the one Opal has in Gloria Dumps back yard) with Otis pickles, egg salad sandwiches (which they ate all of), Dump Punch, Cheese sandwiches and Litmus Lozenges (lemon drops and Werther's caramels) all while we watched the movie!
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
