Spring Conferences and More

Well, it seems as though I've dropped the ball on the class blog. Sorry for the long absence. I hope that your amazing fourth graders have been keeping you posted on all of the happenings in our classroom and at Marshall. Take a peek below for conference sign-ups, picture updates, a link to our recent THINK assembly, and some free webinars being offered by FUSD.

If you're interested in discussing your child's progress this quarter, please sign up for a conference using the link above. If not, no worries! Feel free to check out your child's report card and email me with any questions you may have. Unless other arrangements are made, conferences will be held over Ms. Fisher's Zoom link. Please encourage students to be present for their conference so we can talk with them about their learning! Looking forward to touching base.

What We've Been Working On:

Math has been full of geometry and double digit multiplication, and we are starting to dig deep into fractions. In language arts, students have been working hard on writing narratives, figurative language, and completing a literature study about the book Lunch Money by Andrew Clements. Our student teacher, Miss Rosenberger, has also been leading the fourth graders through a unit on magnets and electricity that will continue into the fourth quarter. Fourth graders have also been learning all about growth mindsets and perseverance in SEL with Mrs. C. In other news, we are all so excited to be starting Magnet Monday at the end of this month!
