No Switch Wednesday

We did our first round of ThinkLink testing today taking the Language Arts test which has questions for reading, writing, and grammar. Overall the class did very well, but we are still having problems with inferencing and topic sentences. We will address these in class.

Today's Assignments
Math p. 65
Social Studies test-lots of A's and B's
Language Arts-finish magic frame and summary; fact/opinion; cause/effect
Science-work on Project: Matter

Tomorrow we will:
  • take a written test on The Stranger
  • take an AR test on The Stranger
  • do lots of other things:)

The Christmas party is quickly approaching on December 19. Shawnta Nipper will be our parent volunteer in charge of planning this celebration. A letter requesting your help/donations will be in this week's Friday Folder. Fourth graders do NOT exchange gifts at the party. If your child is in the giving spirit, he/she is welcome to bring a new, unwrapped gift to be donated to a local charity.

Our scheduled Santa Shop day is Monday, December 3. More information is coming in this week's Friday folder.

If you have any items to donate to this week's auction, please send them tomorrow or Friday.
