Ms. Howell’s 4th Grade
Class
October 3, 2014
Dear Parents,
Next week will be a busy a week as we complete our first nine weeks of
the school year. There are several classroom tests for end of units, as well as
the county Interim Assessments to complete. Students will take the Interim
Benchmark tests Monday (Reading) and Tuesday (Math). It is hard to believe that
the first 9 weeks of school ends next week! The students have worked so hard
these first few months of school and I am so proud of them. Our expectations
and curriculum is very rigorous in 4th grade. This group of students
has stepped up to the plate and put forth an incredible amount of effort!
Below are just
a few reminders/notes that you will find in the Friday folder:
- Students will receive a new journal
calendar on Monday for the month of October
- A Fundraiser update on how
much money we have raised so far. Continue sending in those donations
until next Tuesday, October 7th.
All proceeds will go to help add swings to our playground and provide for
in-house field trips for the students.
- Continue to be working on
the October fitness calendar from last week’s Friday folder.
- Your child’s Burnette
Elementary School ID Card.
- Study guides for both
Science and Social Studies tests can be found on Ms. Howell’s blog:
Electronic
Devices for Reading
Beginning next week, if you have completed one of
the electronic device releases for your child, your student may bring in
devices that have books downloaded to use during independent reading time. Please be sure that the books are already
downloaded onto the tablet device. If
you are unsure if you have completed the release form, or you need a new
release form to complete, please let me know.
