Letters From Mrs. Grieves
Monday, March 15, 2010
Dear Parents,
I just wanted to write and update you on what's been happening in the fourth grade. We ended theme 4 in Reading last week and are focusing on poetry. Next week we will begin Theme 5, Heroes.
After ending the unit on verbs, we have a short review of adjectives then on to pronouns during English class.
The Chapter 8 Math test on division was given last week. Tomorrow we will begin Chapter 9, "Identify and Describe Geometric Figures." Basic facts continue to be a struggle for many of the children.
During this special season of Lent, we've had our turn at leading Stations of the Cross. The next time fourth grade students will be involved with a special Religion assignment will be for mass on April 13, not the 20th as stated on the calendar.
On Friday, March 26, our school will be on a field trip to the Minnesota Zoo! Do I have any volunteers to chaperone? Just let me know if this interests you.
There are two full weeks of work before the end of second trimester, which is March 31.
Good news: This morning, at 1:59, Mrs. Adams had a baby girl! She weighs 7 pounds 7 ounces and is 20 inches long. We made cards for her this morning and I'll be delivering them this afternoon.
Thank you for always reading your child's planner and encouraging them to do their best each day. Enjoy the sunshine!
Sincerely,
Mary Grieves
