We hope you all had a nice weekend, and Happy Rosh Hashanah to those who celebrate! We are ready to dive into another week of learning in 4th grade! Please continue reading to check out our reminders, announcements, and homework schedule for the week. As always, please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions!
Some General Reminders and Announcements:
RELA, Math, and Social Studies/Science Blogs: This was posted back in previous blog posts, but we just wanted to pop it back in as we know everyone is still getting used the the flow of our blogs :) Just a quick reminder that we will be updating our 'content' blogs at the beginning of every unit. Blogs for our first units for all 4 core subjects have already been posted. If you have not checked them out yet, please do so so you can see what is being covered during the unit.

Important Upcoming Dates:
Please note that test dates are always considered tentative. If in future the team decides that a test date needs to be changed (usually in the form of being pushed back if we feel that the students are not ready), we will communicate the change to you all. Until then, these dates represent our assessment plan.
