The homework tonight is a review of unit 1, chapters 1 and 5, in preparation for the test tomorrow. The students completed the even numbers for review during class and need to complete the odd numbers for homework. There are a lot of problems since it is a review of the many concepts we covered in chapter 1 (lessons 1.1 - 1.8) and chapter 5 (lessons 5.1 - 5.6). This is obviously not like the normal homework the students receive each night. Chapter 1 is really a review of concepts they learned last year with the exception that the numbers are larger going to the hundred thousands place. The page numbers for the review tonight is pg.55 - 60 and pg.317-322.
Please check out this week's news.

Grading:
This year your child will have letter grades on their report cards. It is important for you to review the papers that come home with your child on a regular basis. If your child has a C or below on an assignment, please help reinforce the concepts and have your child redo the assignment. Sometimes you may also see a 1-4 score on your child’s paper. This type of score reflects a rubric score for the assignment. See the grade equivalents below:
4-A, 3-B, 2-C, 1-D or Below
Interims will keep you informed of your child’s current grades. The first interim, however, will be very general since only a few grades will be given by that date.
Homework:
Please check your child’s homework notebook for daily homework assignments. The basic nightly routine will be 20 minutes of reading AND a math assignment. The math will be the homework pages in the math workbook that correlate with the daily lesson OR a Think Central assignment. Your child should have the pages written down in their notebooks. Mr. Utter will also post daily assignments with how to videos on the G-Force blog.
Snack:
Fourth grade students have a very early lunch this year, so we will not have a snack time. Our time is limited in the afternoon due to recess and specials. Please make sure your child eats a sufficient amount of lunch to get them through the school day.
