 It\'s great to be back, I missed the children and was really glad to see them today.  We\'re off to a great start this week.  I would like to tell you that we are gearing up for ISAT testing and will be focusing a lot on building specifc skills related to this major intiative, which are considered very high stakes in our school system.  Students will be given a practice test to determine what we need to focus on .  Also, there is a website available for you to help your child at home with practicing for the test.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808000\">Here\'s that link:  <a

this week is \"Food from the \'Hood:  A Garden of Hope\" in the Open Court anthology.  This selection tells of how some students worked together to rebuild the neighborhood around their school after riots destroyed the area.  It\'s a perfect example of how kids can really make a difference in our world.  Students will be tested on Friday.  </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color:

and money and students will learn to balance a checkbook and keep a bank balance.  We will also work on examining the relationship among metric units of length.  These are the last few lessons in this unit and the test will be next .</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff00ff\">S</span><span style=\"color: #ffcc00\"><span style=\"color: #ff00ff\"><span

2009</h2>\r\n \r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">P</span><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">ar</span>ents:</span></h2>\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> </span></h2>\r\n         I have been having quite a bit of difficulty getting postings updated, however try, try again.  This week has been especially busy since it is the last week before break.  We have maintained our regular schedule as much as possible.  On Friday after lunch, we will have a holiday pizza party, all students have not brought in their $2.50.  Please see that they bring their money on Friday.  Thanks to those generous students who have paid a little extra to help cover the cost of the party.\r\n\r\n         Students put on a play for their kindergarten buddies on Wednesday, and I was very proud of their mini-production.  Mr. Walter, the primary Spanish teacher,  just happened to be in their classroom during the performance and asked the principal actors to come to his class and do the play while he read the story in Spanish.  That was an added bonus.  Progress Reports will come home this week, I have also included the Accelerated Reader printout for your child.  Many students have been taking tests regularly, if your child has not, please encourage them to do so in order to meet their goal for this marking period.\r\n\r\n        We did not read a story this week as we have been working really hard on various literacy activities related to the current issue of Storyworks magazine.  Students will take a comprehension quiz on \"Where the Wild Things Are\" on Thursday.\r\n\r\n         The Science presentations on the human body are going extremely well.  I am very  pleased with the children\'s hard work.  Friday is the last day I will accept these projects. \r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000\">That\'s <span style=\"color: #008000\">all for this</span> year!  S<span style=\"color: #008000\">ee you in 2010! </span> Have a <span style=\"color: #008000\">wonderful h</span>oliday!</span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n<h2>Weekly Overview for the week of Dec. 7, 2009</h2>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Dear Parents:</span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">These last two weeks before the Winter Break will be very busy.  Our holiday party will be on Friday, Dec. 18.  The details have not been worked out, when they are finalized, I will let you know.  As of now, student s will exchange holiday cards and a hand made craft item for the kindergardeners in Room 102 (which I will provide).  They are very excited to also produce their own version of  \"Where the Wild Things Are\" to them next week.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800080\"><em>Language Arts: </em></span> We are resuming our Open Court anthology series and the new theme is Dollars &amp; Sense.  This week\'s story is \"Starting a Business\" from The Kid\'s Business Book, which takes students through the planning process on their way to entrepreneurship.  They will be tested on spelling, vocabulary and comprehension on Friday.  An essay on \"The Best Thing About Holidays\" will be completed this week .  Students are to have someone at home review their final drafts which are to be completed on Wednesday.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Math:</span></em>  We have begun Unit 4 on Decimals &amp; Their Uses.  This unit reviews basic concepts, decimal notation and their applications in the real world.  Multiplication timed tests will be given on Thursday.  Please keep handy the parent letter for reference.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #339966\">Social Studies:</span></em>  Time for Kids will be our resource for the global human rights issue of \"Helping Girls Succeed\".  Students will make a pamphlet to explore the facts from this article.  Our \"glogging\" has begun.  Ask your child about that.  It promises to be a new and exciting way to present their research to the world.  They are putting together a glog about what they\'ve learned about the 50 states.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><em>Science:</em>  </span>We began our physical science module last week by observing the interaction of magnets with everyday household items.  The \"Force\" will be explored in more detail this week with the investigation of attraction and repulsion.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #333399\">Art:</span></em>  We finished our paint compositions last week. Watercolor will be our medium this week while we practice different brush techniques to create various hues and tints.\r\n<h2>Homework</h2>\r\nPlease remember students should be continually working on their science presentations.  Although most students have had their projects approved, there are still a few who have not.  The project proposal is due Friday, Dec. 11 and the final presentation is due on Monday, Dec. 14. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Assignments:</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"61\" valign=\"top\"><strong> </strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"150\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Mon.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tues.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wed.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Thur.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fri.</strong></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"61\" valign=\"top\"><strong>L/Arts</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"150\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.</strong><strong>Book Notes</strong><strong>Spelling </strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.</strong><strong>Book Notes</strong><strong>Poetry</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.

a tool to guide our instruction in the classroom.    I\'d appreciate if your child has volunteered to bring raisins for our math activity, that they bring them either Tuesday or Wednesday.  Although many have done so, please submit field trip forms and money by next week.  I am still in need of at least two parent chaperones to accompany us, please let me know as soon as possible.</span>\n\n<span

<em>The Story of Susan La Flesche Picotte</em> combines fast-paced action with historical facts set in the 1800\'s.  Our test will not be until Monday due to the assessments and no school on Friday.  We  will also discuss the research process in order to prepare for a report that ties the medicine theme to what we\'ve covered in our study of the human body in science. </span>\n<p

January 22</h2>\r\nCongratulations to Kaytlyn James who was our class representative in the school Geography Bee last week!   Also congratulations are in order for Natalie Braye and Miette Hennessey for being finalists in our class Spelling Bee who go on to compete on Wednesday with the rest of the Ray School finalists.  That just goes to show there is immense talent in our classroom!\r\n\r\nPlease review all homework assignments with your child.  I am having a problem with students completing all assignments and also remembering to bring them to school and turn them in.  Homework is an extremely important part of our curriculum.  Also, I expect all students to continue working on reaching their Accelerated Reader goals.  There is one week left in the second marking period, so please remind them of their reading committment. \r\n\r\nBlack History month is very near and it\'s time to think about who your child would like to research this year.  Since science is a major focus in fourth grade, I am limiting their research to the study of African American scientists and inventors.  More information will be available later on this week.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #339966\">Language Arts:  </span>We are working on building our reading strategies.  Our lessons this week will focus on drawing inferences, drawing conclusions and making generalizations from the text.  Other lessons will include identifying author\'s purpose and probable outcomes.  We will continue to work on developing writing skills, particularly reviewing how to answer extended response questions.  Students will have a rubric to follow that we will discuss at school and I expect parents to review their child\'s score in order to refine this process.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Math:</span>  We have completed Unit 4 and will begin Unit 5 on extending multiplication skills.  This unit also covers two different multiplication methods:   partial products and the lattice algorithm.  In our ISAT review we will examine the commutative properties of addition and multiplication. \r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800080\">Science: </span> Last week students built a simple circuit, identified components of an electrical circuit and examined what a switch does.  This week they will conduct a search in the lab for insulators and conductors of electricity.  Students will also identify hidden connections on a mystery board.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff00ff\">Social Studies:  <span style=\"color: #000000\">We will review some of the biggest events of the past year in our Time for Kids magazine and delve into photojournalism and discuss the importance of pictures and how they capture current events.  Students will also be writing a letter to President Obama about what they feel top priorities should be for issues affecting this nation.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color:

of the Ray School finalists.  That just goes to show there is immense talent in our classroom!\n\nPlease review all homework assignments with your child.  I am having a problem with students completing all assignments and also remembering to bring them to school and turn them in.  Homework is an extremely important part of our curriculum.  Also, I expect all students to continue working on reaching their Accelerated Reader goals.  There is one week left in the second marking period, so please remind them of their reading committment. \n\nBlack History month is very near and it\'s time to think about who your child would like to research this year.  Since science is a major focus in fourth grade, I am limiting their research to the study of African American scientists and inventors.  More information will be available later on this week.\n\n<span style=\"color: #339966\">Language Arts:  </span>We are working on building our reading strategies.  Our lessons this week will focus on drawing inferences, drawing conclusions and making generalizations from the text.  Other lessons will include identifying author\'s purpose and probable outcomes.  We will continue to work on developing writing skills, particularly reviewing how to answer extended response questions.  Students will have a rubric to follow that we will discuss at school and I expect parents to review their child\'s score in order to refine this process.\n\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Math:</span>  We have completed Unit 4 and will begin Unit 5 on extending multiplication skills.  This unit also covers two different multiplication methods:   partial products and the lattice algorithm.  In our ISAT review we will examine the commutative properties of addition and multiplication. \n\n<span style=\"color: #800080\">Science: </span> Last week students built a simple circuit, identified components of an electrical circuit and examined what a switch does.  This week they will conduct a search in the lab for insulators and conductors of electricity.  Students will also identify hidden connections on a mystery board.\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff00ff\">Social Studies:  <span style=\"color: #000000\">We will review some of the biggest events of the past year in our Time for Kids magazine and delve into photojournalism and discuss the importance of pictures and how they capture current events.  Students will also be writing a letter to President Obama about what they feel top priorities should be for issues affecting this nation.</span></span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff00ff\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">Art: </span> We will examine what a collage is.  Students should be saving magazines with pictures they would like to use to assemble their individual collages.</span></span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff00ff\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS:</span></span>\n<table border=\"1\"

2009</h2>\r\n \r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">P</span><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">ar</span>ents:</span></h2>\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> </span></h2>\r\n         I have been having quite a bit of difficulty getting postings updated, however try, try again.  This week has been especially busy since it is the last week before break.  We have maintained our regular schedule as much as possible.  On Friday after lunch, we will have a holiday pizza party, all students have not brought in their $2.50.  Please see that they bring their money on Friday.  Thanks to those generous students who have paid a little extra to help cover the cost of the party.\r\n\r\n         Students put on a play for their kindergarten buddies on Wednesday, and I was very proud of their mini-production.  Mr. Walter, the primary Spanish teacher,  just happened to be in their classroom during the performance and asked the principal actors to come to his class and do the play while he read the story in Spanish.  That was an added bonus.  Progress Reports will come home this week, I have also included the Accelerated Reader printout for your child.  Many students have been taking tests regularly, if your child has not, please encourage them to do so in order to meet their goal for this marking period.\r\n\r\n        We did not read a story this week as we have been working really hard on various literacy activities related to the current issue of Storyworks magazine.  Students will take a comprehension quiz on \"Where the Wild Things Are\" on Thursday.\r\n\r\n         The Science presentations on the human body are going extremely well.  I am very  pleased with the children\'s hard work.  Friday is the last day I will accept these projects. \r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000\">That\'s <span style=\"color: #008000\">all for this</span> year!  S<span style=\"color: #008000\">ee you in 2010! </span> Have a <span style=\"color: #008000\">wonderful h</span>oliday!</span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n<h2>Weekly Overview for the week of Dec. 7, 2009</h2>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Dear Parents:</span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">These last two weeks before the Winter Break will be very busy.  Our holiday party will be on Friday, Dec. 18.  The details have not been worked out, when they are finalized, I will let you know.  As of now, student s will exchange holiday cards and a hand made craft item for the kindergardeners in Room 102 (which I will provide).  They are very excited to also produce their own version of  \"Where the Wild Things Are\" to them next week.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800080\"><em>Language Arts: </em></span> We are resuming our Open Court anthology series and the new theme is Dollars &amp; Sense.  This week\'s story is \"Starting a Business\" from The Kid\'s Business Book, which takes students through the planning process on their way to entrepreneurship.  They will be tested on spelling, vocabulary and comprehension on Friday.  An essay on \"The Best Thing About Holidays\" will be completed this week .  Students are to have someone at home review their final drafts which are to be completed on Wednesday.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Math:</span></em>  We have begun Unit 4 on Decimals &amp; Their Uses.  This unit reviews basic concepts, decimal notation and their applications in the real world.  Multiplication timed tests will be given on Thursday.  Please keep handy the parent letter for reference.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #339966\">Social Studies:</span></em>  Time for Kids will be our resource for the global human rights issue of \"Helping Girls Succeed\".  Students will make a pamphlet to explore the facts from this article.  Our \"glogging\" has begun.  Ask your child about that.  It promises to be a new and exciting way to present their research to the world.  They are putting together a glog about what they\'ve learned about the 50 states.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><em>Science:</em>  </span>We began our physical science module last week by observing the interaction of magnets with everyday household items.  The \"Force\" will be explored in more detail this week with the investigation of attraction and repulsion.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #333399\">Art:</span></em>  We finished our paint compositions last week. Watercolor will be our medium this week while we practice different brush techniques to create various hues and tints.\r\n<h2>Homework</h2>\r\nPlease remember students should be continually working on their science presentations.  Although most students have had their projects approved, there are still a few who have not.  The project proposal is due Friday, Dec. 11 and the final presentation is due on Monday, Dec. 14. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Assignments:</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"61\" valign=\"top\"><strong> </strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"150\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Mon.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tues.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wed.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Thur.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fri.</strong></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"61\" valign=\"top\"><strong>L/Arts</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"150\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.</strong><strong>Book Notes</strong><strong>Spelling </strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.</strong><strong>Book Notes</strong><strong>Poetry</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.

2009</h2>\r\n \r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">P</span><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">ar</span>ents:</span></h2>\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> </span></h2>\r\n         I have been having quite a bit of difficulty getting postings updated, however try, try again.  This week has been especially busy since it is the last week before break.  We have maintained our regular schedule as much as possible.  On Friday after lunch, we will have a holiday pizza party, all students have not brought in their $2.50.  Please see that they bring their money on Friday.  Thanks to those generous students who have paid a little extra to help cover the cost of the party.\r\n\r\n         Students put on a play for their kindergarten buddies on Wednesday, and I was very proud of their mini-production.  Mr. Walter, the primary Spanish teacher,  just happened to be in their classroom during the performance and asked the principal actors to come to his class and do the play while he read the story in Spanish.  That was an added bonus.  Progress Reports will come home this week, I have also included the Accelerated Reader printout for your child.  Many students have been taking tests regularly, if your child has not, please encourage them to do so in order to meet their goal for this marking period.\r\n\r\n        We did not read a story this week as we have been working really hard on various literacy activities related to the current issue of Storyworks magazine.  Students will take a comprehension quiz on \"Where the Wild Things Are\" on Thursday.\r\n\r\n         The Science presentations on the human body are going extremely well.  I am very  pleased with the children\'s hard work.  Friday is the last day I will accept these projects. \r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000\">That\'s <span style=\"color: #008000\">all for this</span> year!  S<span style=\"color: #008000\">ee you in 2010! </span> Have a <span style=\"color: #008000\">wonderful h</span>oliday!</span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n<h2>Weekly Overview for the week of Dec. 7, 2009</h2>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Dear Parents:</span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">These last two weeks before the Winter Break will be very busy.  Our holiday party will be on Friday, Dec. 18.  The details have not been worked out, when they are finalized, I will let you know.  As of now, student s will exchange holiday cards and a hand made craft item for the kindergardeners in Room 102 (which I will provide).  They are very excited to also produce their own version of  \"Where the Wild Things Are\" to them next week.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800080\"><em>Language Arts: </em></span> We are resuming our Open Court anthology series and the new theme is Dollars &amp; Sense.  This week\'s story is \"Starting a Business\" from The Kid\'s Business Book, which takes students through the planning process on their way to entrepreneurship.  They will be tested on spelling, vocabulary and comprehension on Friday.  An essay on \"The Best Thing About Holidays\" will be completed this week .  Students are to have someone at home review their final drafts which are to be completed on Wednesday.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Math:</span></em>  We have begun Unit 4 on Decimals &amp; Their Uses.  This unit reviews basic concepts, decimal notation and their applications in the real world.  Multiplication timed tests will be given on Thursday.  Please keep handy the parent letter for reference.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #339966\">Social Studies:</span></em>  Time for Kids will be our resource for the global human rights issue of \"Helping Girls Succeed\".  Students will make a pamphlet to explore the facts from this article.  Our \"glogging\" has begun.  Ask your child about that.  It promises to be a new and exciting way to present their research to the world.  They are putting together a glog about what they\'ve learned about the 50 states.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><em>Science:</em>  </span>We began our physical science module last week by observing the interaction of magnets with everyday household items.  The \"Force\" will be explored in more detail this week with the investigation of attraction and repulsion.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #333399\">Art:</span></em>  We finished our paint compositions last week. Watercolor will be our medium this week while we practice different brush techniques to create various hues and tints.\r\n<h2>Homework</h2>\r\nPlease remember students should be continually working on their science presentations.  Although most students have had their projects approved, there are still a few who have not.  The project proposal is due Friday, Dec. 11 and the final presentation is due on Monday, Dec. 14. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Assignments:</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"61\" valign=\"top\"><strong> </strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"150\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Mon.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tues.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wed.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Thur.</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fri.</strong></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"61\" valign=\"top\"><strong>L/Arts</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"150\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.</strong><strong>Book Notes</strong><strong>Spelling </strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.</strong><strong>Book Notes</strong><strong>Poetry</strong></td>\r\n<td width=\"111\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Read for 30 minutes.

quite a bit of difficulty getting postings updated, however try, try again.  This week has been especially busy since it is the last week before break.  We have maintained our regular schedule as much as possible.  On Friday after lunch, we will have a holiday pizza party, all students have not brought in their $2.50.  Please see that they bring their money on Friday.  Thanks to those generous students who have paid a little extra to help cover the cost of the party.\n\n         Students put on a play for their kindergarten buddies on Wednesday, and I was very proud of their mini-production.  Mr. Walter, the primary Spanish teacher,  just happened to be in their classroom during the performance and asked the principal actors to come to his class and do the play while he read the story in Spanish.  That was an added bonus.  Progress Reports will come home this week, I have also included the Accelerated Reader printout for your child.  Many students have been taking tests regularly, if your child has not, please encourage them to do so in order to meet their goal for this marking period.\n\n        We did not read a story this week as we have been working really hard on various literacy activities related to the current issue of Storyworks magazine.  Students will take a comprehension quiz on \"Where the Wild Things Are\" on Thursday.\n\n         The Science presentations on the human body are going extremely well.  I am very  pleased with the children\'s hard work.  Friday is the last day I will accept these projects. \n\n<span style=\"color:

22</h2>\r\nCongratulations to Kaytlyn James who was our class representative in the school Geography Bee last week!   Also congratulations are in order for Natalie Braye and Miette Hennessey for being finalists in our class Spelling Bee who go on to compete on Wednesday with the rest of the Ray School finalists.  That just goes to show there is immense talent in our classroom!\r\n\r\nPlease review all homework assignments with your child.  I am having a problem with students completing all assignments and also remembering to bring them to school and turn them in.  Homework is an extremely important part of our curriculum.  Also, I expect all students to continue working on reaching their Accelerated Reader goals.  There is one week left in the second marking period, so please remind them of their reading committment. \r\n\r\nBlack History month is very near and it\'s time to think about who your child would like to research this year.  Since science is a major focus in fourth grade, I am limiting their research to the study of African American scientists and inventors.  More information will be available later on this week.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #339966\">Language Arts:  </span>We are working on building our reading strategies.  Our lessons this week will focus on drawing inferences, drawing conclusions and making generalizations from the text.  Other lessons

January 22</h2>\r\nCongratulations to Kaytlyn James who was our class representative in the school Geography Bee last week!   Also congratulations are in order for Natalie Braye and Miette Hennessey for being finalists in our class Spelling Bee who go on to compete on Wednesday with the rest of the Ray School finalists.  That just goes to show there is immense talent in our classroom!\r\n\r\nPlease review all homework assignments with your child.  I am having a problem with students completing all assignments and also remembering to bring them to school and turn them in.  Homework is an extremely important part of our curriculum.  Also, I expect all students to continue working on reaching their Accelerated Reader goals.  There is one week left in the second marking period, so please remind them of their reading committment. \r\n\r\nBlack History month is very near and it\'s time to think about who your child would like to research this year.  Since science is a major focus in fourth grade, I am limiting their research to the study of African American scientists and inventors.  More information will be available later on this week.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #339966\">Language Arts:  </span>We are working on building our reading strategies.  Our lessons this week will focus on drawing inferences, drawing conclusions and making generalizations from the text.  Other lessons will include identifying author\'s purpose and probable outcomes.  We will continue to work on developing writing skills, particularly reviewing how to answer extended response questions.  Students will have a rubric to follow that we will discuss at school and I expect parents to review their child\'s score on sample questions in order to refine this process.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Math:</span>  We have completed Unit 4 and will begin Unit 5 on extending multiplication skills.  This unit also covers two different multiplication

#ff0000\"> </span></h2>\r\n         I have been having quite a bit of difficulty getting postings updated, however try, try again.  This week has been especially busy since it is the last week before break.  We have maintained our regular schedule as much as possible.  On Friday after lunch, we will have a holiday pizza party, all students have not brought in their $2.50.  Please see that they bring their money on Friday.  Thanks to those generous students who have paid a little extra to help cover the cost of the party.\r\n\r\n         Students put on a play for their kindergarten buddies on Wednesday, and I was very proud of their mini-production.  Mr. Walter, the primary Spanish teacher,  just happened to be in their classroom during the performance and asked the principal actors to come to his class and do the play while he read the story in Spanish.  That was an added bonus.  Progress Reports will come home this week, I have also included the Accelerated Reader printout for your child.  Many students have been taking tests regularly, if your child has not, please encourage them to do so in order to meet their goal for this marking period.\r\n\r\n        We did not read a story this week as we have been working really hard on various literacy activities related to the current issue of Storyworks magazine.  Students will take a comprehension quiz on \"Where the Wild Things Are\" on Thursday.\r\n\r\n         The Science presentations on the human body are going extremely well.  I am very  pleased with the children\'s hard work.  Friday is the last day I will accept these projects. \r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000\">That\'s <span style=\"color: #008000\">all for this</span> year!  S<span style=\"color: #008000\">ee you in 2010! </span> Have a <span

Parents:</span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\">These last two weeks before the Winter Break will be very busy.  Our holiday party will be on Friday, Dec. 18.  The details have not been worked out, when they are finalized, I will let you know.  As of now, student s will exchange holiday cards and a hand made craft item for the kindergardeners in Room 102 (which I will provide).  They are very excited to also produce their own version of  \"Where the Wild Things Are\" to them next week.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800080\"><em>Language Arts: </em></span> We are resuming our Open Court anthology series and the new theme is Dollars &amp; Sense.  This week\'s story is \"Starting a Business\" from The Kid\'s Business Book, which takes students through the planning process on their way to entrepreneurship.  They will be tested on spelling, vocabulary and comprehension on Friday.  An essay on \"The Best Thing About Holidays\" will be completed this week .  Students are to have someone at home review their final drafts which are to be completed on Wednesday.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Math:</span></em>  We have begun Unit 4 on Decimals &amp; Their Uses.  This unit reviews basic concepts, decimal notation and their applications in the real world.  Multiplication timed tests will be given on Thursday.  Please keep handy the parent letter for reference.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #339966\">Social Studies:</span></em>  Time for Kids will be our resource for the global human rights issue of \"Helping Girls Succeed\".  Students will make a pamphlet to explore the facts from this article.  Our \"glogging\" has begun.  Ask your child about that.  It promises to be a new and exciting way to present their research to the world.  They are putting together a glog about what they\'ve learned about the 50 states.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><em>Science:</em>  </span>We began our physical science module last week by observing the
