Sept. 3, 2020 - Week 2

Week 2 - Need to Knows

This week, we had the opportunity to release one of our butterflies. What an amazing reminder of God's greatness and attention to details!

What came home today:

- Math Fact Links (yellow paper)

- Flier about our upcoming "THINK Energy" classroom visit (white paper)

- Walk-a-thon Packet/Envelope

- Math Homework Information/Details (yellow paper)

- Misc. work from the week

                                                

A few notes for 4th grade:

WALK-A-THON PACKET - Packets came home today in their Homework Folder. Please open up the envelope and read the information inside. The Parent Board shared information about our upcoming and adapted Walk-a-thon. Let's shoot for a DUE DATE OF SEPT. 14th (MONDAY).

BATONS - All returning HC families, please remember that Batons are due. I will hold on to the Baton til the end of the year.

PLANNER - Please continue to make it a daily habit to peek at your child's planner for any notes concerning upcoming assignments and reminders. Keep up the good work!

MATH FACT PRACTICE - Watch for the first math minutes homework of the year to start on Tuesday after the holiday.  A note will come home this coming Thursday (before Labor Day) explaining all the details of it.  

Reminder: The math minutes will be on a long skinny yellow piece of paper, and the mad minute will be on a full white sheet.

READING MINUTES - Reading minute homework will also begin the week of Labor Day.  Watch for that recording sheet to come home as well.  The 4th grade requirement is 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week (for a total of 150 minutes per week).  Reading minutes will be on a long skinny pink piece of paper.

THINK! ENERGY - We have been selected to be part of a program called THINK! ENERGY.  We will learn about preserving resources related to energy production in our community and homes.  As a part of this program, our class will be awarded a $100 grant if we have 100% of our students participate with the at-home portion.  For this, your child will receive a kit with energy saving devices that you can use in your home (it's got some pretty useful items in it - and it's free to you!).  There is a page of questions that go with it which your child will have to answer and return in order for our class to get credit.  TODAY I will send home a white consent form for you to peruse that allows your child to participate in this program.  You do have the option to opt out, but I really think you'll want your child to experience this.  Sign and return the form by Wednesday only if you do NOT want your child to participate.  If I do not receive a form from you, I will administer a kit to your child and I will look for the questionnaire to be returned from them at a later date.  Thank you!

*THANK YOU for your love, prayers, classroom donations (cleaning wipes), and support as we begin this new school year together! I am blessed to spend each day with your child!
