Camp Albemarle

It is camp week! We are so excited for our upcoming trip. Just a few things to remember:

• We will be leaving school on Thursday at around 9:15. Make sure your child has a packed lunch for that day.
• Make sure your child has all their gear packed into an easy to carry system. He/she is responsible for carrying all their things. Check that packing list to ensure they have all they need.
• There will be a bus that returns students not spending the night back to SRE around
  6:15-6:30 (depends on traffic coming through Charlottesville).  Mrs. Sellers will be accompanying these students on the bus.
• There will be a bus that brings students on Friday that did not stay the night at 9:15.
• We will return to SRE on Friday just before dismissal time.

Language Arts Update

Our focus will be to solidify all those reading strategies before the Reading SOL. Dictionary skills are another area we can sometimes take for granted. Guide words, know what words would be on the page, and understanding a dictionary entry is really important. If you can, pull out a dictionary and work with your child on these skills.  

Math Update

A short week of elapsed time. This is an important life skill all 4th graders should have. here is an example. 

• The game started at 7:50pm. It ended at 10:04pm. How long was the game?
• Recess began at 11:12am. It ended at 11:44am. How long was recess?
