Week 22: Readathon

We are done with week one of our Readathon! You may have noticed that our students have been logging their reading on two sheets. Our goal is to be the fourth grade class that reads the most minutes. Please help us by reminding us to log our reading time this weekend. The Readathon ends on the Friday during the Mid Winter Recess. After that students should bring in their sheets so that we can do a final tally of our reading time. Go 4-303!

There's  another video, this time featuring Matthew and Zach. They are explaining how to play Fraction Action, a math game that each student should have in his/ her homework folder. Have fun!

Saturday School starts this week. Please have your child arrive to the MMR by 9 am. Your child should have a snack for the middle of the morning. Mrs. Treinen will be teaching the sessions.

There will be a homework packet given out for Mid Winter Recess. It is optional and designed to give families an idea about what to expect for the upcoming state tests. Please take a moment to look over it before you decide whether your child will work on it or not.

Here's what else is happening next week:

• We will go to the Armory on Tuesday. Please remind your child to wear comfortable clothing. 
• I will be out on Tuesday for a Teacher's College workshop on Test Preparation.
• We will meet with our buddies on Friday. It is also Valentine's Day but I'll provide the treats :)

Finally, we want to thank Mr. Singer, Gideon's grandfather for the wonderful presentation he made on Slavery in early Brooklyn. We learned so much from his expert teachings and we were treated to a performance by his rapper alter ego, Reese's Pieces. 

Have a sunny weekend!
