A Short Week!

Things are starting to wind down in 4th grade, but there is still plenty to do before the end of the year.  I have been reminding the students that even though it is the end of the year, I am still taking grades and there are still  things that we need to work on before school is out for the summer.  Here is a glimpse of what we are doing this week...
**The VA Studies SOL is 1 week away!  Please keep working on Hungry for History and reviewing notes daily.  
**I am in need of cereal boxes for a cereal box Book Report Project the students will be working on next week.  Also, we need...pencils (yes, again)!   I am going to Sam's Club to buy one more big box on pencils, but if you send any in, I (and the students) would greatly appreciate it!

Homework for 5/19-23

Language Arts:  Read for 20 minutes
Math (Ms. Philllips's Class):  Math Review Packet due Wed.
VA Studies:  WS (Mon), Test on VS 9 on Tuesday, Hungry for History 6, 7, and 8 due next Tuesday

This is it!

This is it!  The math SOL test is this week!  The students have been working very hard to prepare for this test.  It will be administered over 2 days and will cover everything taught this year (Whew!).  I have been reminding the students to do their best and to work out (and check) every problem.  Please help your child prepare by having them get a good night's rest the night before and by having them eat breakfast on the day of the test.  We will also be finishing up Virginia Studies this week and will get into straight review mode for this test on June 2.  Here is what else we will be doing this week...

What beautiful weather we have been having!  I hope you were able to get outside this weekend and enjoy the weather.  Also, thanks for all the special treats last week for Teacher Appreciation Week.  It's actually a real treat to work with your child because I love teaching!
This week, students will be taking the Reading SOL test.  We are also going to continue reviewing math and Virginia Studies in preparation for next week (Math SOL) and June 2 (Virginia Studies SOL). Please continue to have your student review Virginia Studies nightly with their Hungry for History cards.  Tests 5 and 6 are up this week. Here's our focus for review this week:
