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.  

Language Arts Update

     We are so proud of all the 4th graders. They worked very hard on their Reading SOL. We will be wrapping up the year with benchmark testing. 

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.
