A big thank you for all who attended design night. We had a wonderful time working through the engineering process! 

Yearbooks

Yearbooks went home on Friday. Students will have an opportunity to bring the books back to school and get them signed by friends and teachers. Stay tuned for that date. If you did not get a yearbook, there are still some available in the office for $13.00. It is first come, first serve.

Math Update

Design Night

Pillowcase Project

     The American Red Cross visited our class this afternoon, and we learned about emergency preparedness, specifically related to home fires.  We worked through The Pillowcase Project lesson (which started with college students during Hurricane Katrina).  Students will bring home their pillowcases next week, but they do have a "My Preparedness Workbook" in their Friday folders.  If you have any questions about this, please let me know.

Math Update

     Our Math SOL is next Monday and Tuesday.  We will start first thing in the morning, so please help your child get a good night's sleep, eat a balanced breakfast, and wear comfy clothes to school.  Bringing a water bottle and a favorite book to school may also be helpful. 

Content Update-

     Beginning Wednesday, we are resuming content. We decided since we are so close to being 5th graders, it would be a great opportunity to introduce them to switching classes. What that means is that students will visit each teacher for 1 hour of the day to work on a specific Science or Virginia Studies unit. They will end their day with the homeroom teacher.

Math Update

Review, Review, Review! With the SOL's a week away, we will be working hard on each area we have studied this year. Students will be working independently to earn "Black Belts" in each strand while the teachers pull small groups for extra practice on more difficult topics. There will be an IXL skill review sheet for them to use at home if you want some extra practice. 

Content Update-

     We will be taking a short break from content until after the SOL's are over. This gives us much needed time to pull small groups of students and solidify skills.

SHINDIG!

       Thank you for your contributions and support! It was a wonderful time had by all and we are so grateful for the fantastic community we have at Stone-Robinson!

Language Arts Update

     We will be sending home some IXL practice that your child can practice before the test. This can be done in place of their 20 minutes of reading. Please know it is not a must do! We just thought if you wanted some extra materials, IXL would be a great way to practice what we do at school when you are at home!

Math Update

Math properties are sometimes overlooked even though we use them all the time. It is important our students understand these properties to help build their number sense. Here is a great visual:
