4th Grade Poets Map their Hearts

The poets in our classroom (and that includes every student and teacher!) have discovered that poetry hides in their hearts. Today and tomorrow these poets are "mapping" their hearts. This means that all the ideas, people, places, things and events that are special and important to them in some way could possibly be included on their Heart Map.

Stop by the second floor hallway and checkout our Heart Maps!

EveryDay Math

One skill that we will practice at the beginning of the year is rote knowledge of addition and substraction facts. You can help your child by using flashcards to practice these facts.

Remind your student that they can always visit Study Island at http://www.studyisland.com/ to practice their math skills. We always have assignments posted for them on this site.

You can visit Mrs. Geary's website: jgeary@wasd.org to find links to excellent Math websites to practice all your math facts.

AR and Independent Reading

Every student in our classroom has the opportunity to read independently every day during the school day. We also want all the students to read at home EVERY night. Each student should read a minimum of 30 minutes each evening. MORE time spent reading would be even BETTER!

Hello 4th Grade Families!

Your child has been asked to fill in a ThinkMark each night as

they do their reading. Remind your child that

READING IS THINKING!

We'd like each student to notice two things in their reading to write about on the ThinkMark each night.

If you have questions about this feel free to contact us at Stevens.

Many thanks for your help!

Mrs. Kuzio, Mrs. Geary and Mrs. Lynch
