Hi All,
Sorry for the delay!

This week is full of beginnings and endings.

First of all, we have finished reading The Great Horn Spoon in RTI.  On Tuesday, the entire 4th grade will be watching the movie of this fun book. Kids may also take the AR test. Our next couple of weeks in RTI will be devoted to reading information, for a science investigation unit.

We have also finished the geometry unit in math.  Today we completed the geometry test, and did a partial lesson on our new unit, fractions, but didn't do enough of Lesson 1 to be prepared for homework. Expect fraction homework to begin on Tuesday. 

Finally, we will be having a Social Studies test on Friday, focused on Chapter 5, "California, Here We Come!" -- p.185 -217 in Reflections. This is the chapter we read last week and the week before, focused on California settlers before the Gold Rush, and California's separation from Mexico.

The report cards should be coming home this Friday.  Thanks for your patience as the district worked out its technical issues.

Take care,
Carroll Mayer
