We cannot believe Thanksgiving Break is already upon us!! We have spent an amazing four months with your 4th grader, and we are so thankful to be working with them! They have already grown so much and have learned so much! Thank you for letting us be a part of your child's learning! :)
While the kids are counting down to Friday, there is still a lot going on in 4th grade this week. Check out this week's details below!
Some General Reminders:
- Book Fair: It's Book Fair Buying Week! All homeroom classes went today for our buying day, but if your child would still like to purchase books, it will be open through the end of this week! I will happily send them during the reading block or homeroom to buy books if they bring money in, but we can only allot of short period of class time for them to head back to the Book Fair individually, so please keep this in mind!
- Literacy Through Drama: Tomorrow, students will take part in a Literacy through Drama workshop organized by the Fulton County Teaching Museum. We will have a teacher from the museum come and work with each of our homerooms for one hour focusing on drama within reading standards. Students will have the opportunity to explore the language of text, create their own dialogue through playwriting, and bring that dialogue to life through a collaborative student-created play. We are really looking forward to this opportunity!
- Kinder Buddies: On Friday, we have a wonderful opportunity where we will be reading with Kindergarten classes as our “reading buddies”! Our fourth grade students will be able to sit with a kindergarten and help them to read through several short stories in order to help them practice their reading skills during our literacy block. There are so many benefits to this and we know it will be fun for all!
