School Picture Date: Rose Park has 23 classes of kiddos. WOW. That is a lot of pictures to take. Our class has been assigned to the 12:45 slot on Thursday, September 15th. 

Spelling Lists: Your child will come home with their first 4th grade spelling list on Monday. I have attached a note that explains our spelling program. We will practice the words and spelling patterns throughout the week. Our first spelling test will be on Friday.

NWEA (MAP) Tests and DELTA Math Screener: We will take two more MAP tests next week. These tests will be completed on their iPad. I provide tips as they take the test that boosts their confidence and teach them how to work through standardized tests. They will have breaks and opportunities to move while taking the test. I will use the results as a view into your child's growth and development in 4th grade.

"Can Ms. Snoeyink come to my game?": I love to see my students thrive outside of school. If they are in gymnastics, swimming, soccer, baseball, karate, football etc.....I would love to watch and see them shine! If your child expressed interest in this, please let me know the time and location! Thanks :)

After Christmas Break we will have our game session for the 3-4 grade groups. These dates will be as follows- January 7, 14, 21, and 28. Teams will be made and games will be played. We are going to do things a little different than in years past as we want to develop our players skills and game play. We will build up to 5 on 5, but sessions will be a 3 v 3, 4 v 4 and then 5 v 5 tournament play.

If you could sign up ASAP to ensure we get shirts and jerseys ordered that would be great!
