Greetings parents:
I hope you had a great weekend! The kids are really enjoying the cooler recess weather.
*This Thursday we will send home a progress skills checklist with each student. This will tell you how your student is progressing on each standard. It will come home in the report card envelope. Please sign on the highlighted line, and return the envelope. Click copy and pasted this link for a brief explanation of PSC.

This week in...
MATH
The Blue group will continue the Measurement unit. Students will learn about Metric conversion and elapsed time. I will send practice home Tuesday and Thursday nights. They will have a quiz on Thursday, 11/7. Their unit 7 test will be the following week.
As I mentioned before, to prepare for their next unit (5th grade, unit 1), please have your child practice multiplication and division facts. If they have those mastered, the unit will be much easier for them.
The Purple group will start Unit 3, Multiplying and Dividing Decimals. We will start with multiplying using the algorithm and area model strategies, and then move on to division next week. They will have a short multiplication quiz on Thursday, 11/7.
SCIENCE
We are still in the Solar System unit. Ask them about all the cool facts they are learning! This week, we will discuss characteristics of planets and stars. Students will compare and contrast planets and stars using a Venn Diagram. They are also working on a paper model of the planets. Their test will be Friday, 11/8.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Nichole Bice
