Sept. 7th, 2017

Welcome to our 4th grade blog parents!

Math:

Students will begin the year off by working on concepts in unit 1 chapter 1 on place value, rounding, ordinal numbers, expanded form, standard form, written form, comparing numbers, renaming numbers, and adding and subtracting numbers.

Science/ Social Studies:

Students will start by reviewing geography by studying the northern, southern, eastern and western hemispheres of the world, latitude and longitude, and political and physical maps.

Language Arts:

Students have been practicing what it looks like to Read to Self and Work on Writing. They will also take the SRI to gauge their reading level and begin descriptive writing about themselves.

Reminders:

• If you need to contact any of us, the quickest way is probably through email. Our emails are as follows: charles.utter@am.dodea.edu; patricia.cerny@am.dodea.edu; and judith.ward@am.dodea.edu.
• If your child will be absent for school, please let the office know with a call, email, or note.
• Crossroads raises money each year for the PEA by having an assortment of baskets auctioned off at the Fall Festival. Our themed baskets are Chocolate Lovers and Family Library. Please donate chocolate items or gifts associated with books or we will happily accept a cash donation to purchase items for those who are too busy to shop. They need to be in by Sept. 19th.
• The Fall Festival is Sept. 21st.
• New DODEA rules prohibit food for birthdays so please do not send in cupcakes or other food for your child. We may celebrate your child's birthday with nonfood items.
