This will be my final newsletter blog of the year. We are fast approaching the final days of fourth grade. I hope that you and your child will have fond memories of fourth grade as I do every year. This has been a wonderful group of kids whom I've had the chance to know and love over the past year. It is always bittersweet saying good-bye and passing them over to fifth grade and middle school. They are ready, but sometimes I am not. That's why we have summer vacations so that we teachers can adjust! I hope that they will come visit me often!
We are working on Unit 8 in math and took the End of the year assessment. It is corrected and we will be putting it into the students portfolios which will be sent home next week for you to view and keep. We will be playing some math games next week as it is always good to keep as much structure to our final days as we can.
In Writing we finished our Immigration Journals and answering questions about Orphan of Ellis Island which we read in Book Clubs.
In Reading we are continuing with Historical Fiction book clubs and your students are really having some wonderful conversations. Your child has made fantastic progress this year. Don't let the summer "slump" happen, encourage your child to continue to read over the summer. Take them to the York Public Library or check out your own bookshelves! Or even have a book club with them. I will be sending home a list of books and book series that your child can check out this summer if they don't know where to start in picking out books. Just encourage them to read!
I am still looking for books from my own library so take a look around, under beds and on shelves to see if you have any other books out there. Thanks
