We hope you had an awesome weekend! This week will be exciting since it's a short, 4 day week (we have a 4 day weekend ahead of us!), but while it's a short week, we still have a lot going on :) Please remember to check out our content blogs (under the 4th grade blog) to see specifics about each content area.
Some General Reminders and Announcements:
Snowflakes & Hotcakes Save the Date: Saturday, February 25th 8:30 AM
Snowflakes and Hotcakes is a fun, family event for New Prospect families and friends. Come enjoy free pancakes served by New Prospect teachers and dads. Buy raffle tickets for a chance to win incredible theme baskets created by each class. Bid in the live auction to win fabulous prizes! Mark your calendars because you don't want to miss this incredible event!
Reading/Writing Write Score: Fourth grade will be participating in Write Score for both reading and writing. We took our writing Write Score on 2/8, and our reading Write Score day will be 2/14 (this Tuesday). Both assessments will be done during our normal reading and writing blocks. Write Score is an amazing tool Fulton County has purchased for us that allows us to see how our kiddos are progressing with and mastering our 4th grade RELA content/standards. This is a great, no stress 'check in' before Milestones :)
Valentine's Day: Next week fourth grade will be participating in Valentine's Day. As always, sending in Valentine's is not a requirement, but we do ask that if your kiddo chooses to participate, that they send in a Valentine for all classmates. We will exchange Valentine's during our writing block (and we will also have a fun Valentine's Day themed writing activity as well!)
Birthday Treats: We have a lot of birthday's coming up across 4th grade, so we just wanted to remind parents to please email your child's homeroom teacher in advance if you plan on bringing in treats. We have various medical conditions/allergies across the grade level where we need a heads up (usually a day or 2) to find alternative treats/adjust medicines. Thank you for your cooperation on this very important matter!
Holiday Weekend This Weekend!: Please remember that this Friday to next Monday is a student/teacher holiday. Students will not have school on Friday, February 17th and Monday, February 20th (President's Day). Have an amazing 4 day weekend!
