As we approach our spring break next week, there is so much happening in Room 17!
Gold Rush Day is tomorrow! Students will perform in their fourth grade musical, "Oh, California", singing traditional 49'er songs! After their concert, they will participate in various Gold Rush activities, do some Gold Rush Dancing, and have a 49'er style lunch! The students are really looking forward to having an action-packed and fun-filled day!
STAR testing is coming after spring break! We have already begun to take some practice tests in class in preparation for the testing which will begin on Tuesday, April 26 and end on Friday, April 29 for fourth grade. The most important thing for your child is to remind them that it is just one of many tests they have taken all year, and do everything to ensure this is a "stress-less" experience for them! If you would like to see the released questions from previous years' STAR tests, please click on the link to the right.
Also, if your child needs some review in certain math concepts, please take the time over spring break to re-introduce some concepts previously taught this year, such as fractions, algebraic concepts, and multiplication/division.
Ah -choo!! Is your child sneezing with runny eyes and bloody noses? They are probably experiencing the effects of a severe allergy season this spring due to all the late spring rains. We have almost run out of tissues, so we would appreciate any donations to the class of this item!
Students are working on a "Saturday Night" project as part of our Gold Rush Unit. Some students are working alone, while others are working in small groups (their choices). Please ask your child during the break if they need your assistance in building or supplying any materials for their project. It is due on Monday, 4/25.
Have a wonderful spring break with your family - only six more weeks of school!
