Ms. Fisher's Class Blog: September Has Arrived!

Dear Families,

I'm so excited to finally be getting the blog set up for the year! Your fourth graders have already been learning so much both academically and about each other. We've been practicing daily connection circles, reading James and the Giant Peach, and working on place value.

Traveling Folders Coming Home This Week

This week, students will be coming home with their red "Traveling Folder." Inside of it you will find several exit tickets (end of lesson checks) and concept "quests" (quizzes). Take a look at and discuss your child's work with them. Once you are finished, keep their work, sign the folder, and send the folder back to school for me!

Spelling and Vocabulary Homework Starting Soon

Starting next week, students will be working on spelling and vocabulary "home"work. Besides building their spelling skills and vocabulary, they will be working on time management skills in a daily study hall. During this study hall, students will have the chance to collaborate and get much, if not all, of their "home"work completed at school. Many students struggle with this freedom at the beginning of the year, so we will be focusing a lot on responsible study habits during this time. Students will showcase their learning on a weekly spelling and vocabulary test.
