Parents,
Please make sure you have returned the Jamestown Permission Slip. With this trip quickly approaching, we need to make arrangements.
Have you signed up for a parent-teacher conference?
As a school, we are working hard on social-emotional education. In fourth grade, we began lessons during morning meeting that concentrate on these goals. The second book in the series of lessons is My Secret Bully.
Please ask your child about:
- What kinds of things we are doing to keep our classroom safe and friendly so that everyone will feel welcome and want to come to school every day?
- What bullying is?
- Why it's not okay to leave someone out on purpose?
- What ways we can make sure everyone has someone to play with at recess or eat with at lunch?
Reading Update

Or TFK as we call it has proven to be very challenging for the students. You can help at home by discussing the topics, especially the heavy vocabulary. This week's article focuses on the upcoming election. Some tough words are:
- Majority
- Polls
- Endorsed

- Chambers

The activities described here are related to the mathematics in Unit 3. Use the activities to enrich your child’s learning experience. Modeling Division Situations At school, students are solving word problems that represent various types of division situations. Encourage your child to help you solve situations that come up in your daily activities. Here are some examples: “I baked a batch of 48 cookies for the bake sale. I need to put them into bags of 5. How many bags of 5 can I make? What can I do with the extra cookies?” “There are 180 players who will play baseball in teams of 9. How many teams can they make?”
How Did You Solve That? Ask your child to tell you about
how he or she is multiplying and dividing. Show that you
are interested in these approaches. Because these strategies
may be unfamiliar to you, listen carefully to your child’s
explanation; you might even try to do a problem or two
using the new procedure. Let your child be the teacher!
