How do you get 4th graders to focus? Put a very challenging game in front of them on the computer screen and tell them they can do it!!! It was AWESOME watching your kiddos in the computer lab today. To go along with our science topic of wind, I found a pretty challenging game that requires some logic, engineering, and patience. Have your child show you the game and do a couple of levels together. They know how to get there! If you go save the villagers together, write WIND in the planner for $10 tomorrow.
Tuesday folders came home today. Not much inside. There is a reminder for our Open House on Thursday, but I just know that all of you already have it marked on your calendars. :0) Please sign, date, and return them tomorrow.
Homework tonight is to read those school themed book report books, study spelling words, and complete a review math page. Feel free to check the math page and give them some feedback. These were skills we learned from day one.
A reminder that Inquiry projects are due this Friday. Kids must show mastery of the concept that heritage is the passing of things from generation to generation starting with our ancestors. They also need to be ready to present to an audience. Practicing at home is a sure fire way of doing this. If you are bringing in a recipe and sample of the dish for us to share please make sure it is here by 9:30 on Friday morning.
A HUGE thank you to Kara, AJ, Gabrielle, and Emily for bringing in some fun gift cards. There is still three more days to donate. Please check the list off to the right to avoid duplicates. I will be sending them home with Noah B on Friday for mom to work her magic and create our appealing and eye catching basket for the following weekend at Saturday Live. :0)
Have a great evening!!!
Mrs. Grewell
