Spring has sprung in Room 17! Some of us came down with a bad case of "spring fever" last week with our sunny, warm weather! The weather has been great for growing and observing the plants in our terrariums - in a few weeks, students will transplant them to our school garden!
In the next 2 weeks before spring break, we will be reviewing some of the "released" test questions in preparation for the STAR test which starts on April 26. Please check the link to the right which allows you to access this information directly from the Calif. Dept. of Education.
We are speeding through our math chapters - the focus is on geometric concepts right now, including identification of plane figures, solid figures, and perimeter and area measurement. We are attempting to touch at least briefly on all 4th grade math standards - we will cover some of these concepts in more depth after the STAR test.
Gold Rush Day - you received a flyer for our upcoming "Gold Rush Day" on Weds., April 13. We are asking all 4th grade parents to donate $5 (cash only) to the Gold Rush luncheon, and we are seeking parent volunteers to prepare and serve the luncheon. Please fill out the information on the flyer and return it to your child's class no later than Friday, 4/8.
