Fall Pictures
Your child received their fall pictures on Thursday. All students received a picture package if their picture was taken. You may keep the package if you have paid for it. If you did not purchase pictures, you will have the option to buy the pictures. Instructions for purchasing are inside each picture envelope. Please have your child return their pictures if they are not interested in purchasing the proof.
If you do not like the pictures, or your child did not receive photos, there is a makeup picture day on December 6th. You will need to return your child's picture package for retakes. More information will follow closer to December 6th regarding the makeup picture day.

This week in...
Virginia studies: Students began learning about the English colonists settling in Jamestown last week, they've been enjoying a new read aloud called Blood on the River which is a historical fiction novel describing the settlement of the first permanent English colony from a 12 year old's point of view. Ask your child about, the kids are loving it! Students received Week 6 of their Virginia Studies weekly last week, they already knew a lot of the answers to the puzzles from listening so closely to Blood on the River! Students will have an open-note quiz on their VA Studies Weekly Newspaper on Tuesday, October 25th. As a reminder, students can play additional games and review by going to www.studiesweekly.com. The username and password is their lunch number and birthday.
Science: Students did well on their planets quiz last week, we will begin learning about the Earth, sun, and moon next and the difference between rotation and revolution.
Writing: Students will receive their new Word study words tomorrow and will have their Word Study test on Friday, October 28th. In writing workshop this week students will learn about new strategies to develop ideas for stories and how to use their own voice in their writing.
Reading: Students began writing reading response letters to me last week. This allows students to demonstrate their understanding to me about the independent book they are reading and gives them an opportunity to chose what to tell me about. I respond to readers with follow up questions so we can continue an ongoing communication about their book. Students are expected to read a minimum of 20 minutes nightly and record their reading in their reading log.
Math: All fourth grade students are expected to go on Reflex Math three times a week until they are 100% fluent. If you would like to know how fluent your child is in his or her multiplication facts, please email his or her math teacher. Thank you for your cooperation!
