Food Friday

Today in class we had a no fine celebration for the no fine people in our class Mrs.Davis and Mr. Burkes class was in it with the no fine people. This celebration took place in Mrs.Davis's class. We also did some math on math boxes and we did another thing on reducing fractions and adding fractions. Next we finished our book Oliver's Travels but are not quite finished with our packet on it. Well there is no homework over the weekend and i hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!!

From Mrs. Fiete!

Hello parents and students! We had a busy afternoon with the no-fine party, and I'm filling in for our trusty blogger. We had some information to share with you tonight.

  1. Friday folders are not coming home tonight. With all the hub-bub, that didn't get done either. Expect meaty folders next week! If you have any questions about grades, feel free to check out powerschool and/or email me.
  2. Scholastic Book order forms (2 different forms) are coming home tonight. Due date for these orders is Monday, 3/14. This is insure that books are in the students' hands before spring break.
  3. Monday begins the Applied Skills portion of this year's ISTEP. If you'd like to practice at home, you can go to this link and see the problems from the past 4 years. We've worked a lot of these in class, and I believe the students are good to go. However, if you or your students want a little extra practice, feel free to check them out. Be sure to select 4th grade materials!
  4. With ISTEP starting Monday, it's important that students get a GOOD night's rest on Sunday night, and a good breakfast Monday morning. Anything we adults can do, the better! Remind your student was smart little spud they are, and squeeze them tight!
  5. Because of ISTEP, there will not be homework next week. I will pass out spelling menu for students to work on if they wish, but nothing else. They may be asked to share information they learned in class with you, but there will be no assignments turned in. Enjoy the break!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend. See you Monday-- same Bat time, same Bat channel!

Mrs. Fiete and Littlefoot. :)
