The student connection team would like to congratulate the following students 16 students from Ms. Kraftschik's class who have had perfect attendance and NO tardies for the first 9 weeks of school.
These students will be allowed to dress down on Friday, October 14, 2016.
Each student will receive a dress down sticker to wear for the day when
they arrive in their classroom on Friday morning. Children will be
recognized every 9 weeks. We appreciate you, parents, for getting your
children to school on time, every day!!
I hope that you are
enjoying the recorder playing you are hearing around your house these days.
This rotation all students have a YELLOW recorder log to turn in. 6
days is required 15 minutes a day. Students should be practicing 3 songs.
When they return to music class they will do group testing on all songs
to receive their recorder karate belts. Failure to complete this
assignment will result in a non-passing grade. Parents please encourage
your child to practice by signing their logs. I appreciate your help.

Learning Targets
Social Studies - In social studies, we will be working on Native American Groups which is integrated into writing. We also be time warping back explorers.
Writing - We will continue to work on informational writing. This week, we will be focusing on thesis statements and introduction sentences to our body paragraphs.
Language - This week in grammar or language, we are learning about fragments and complete sentences.
Math - In math this week, we are going to continue to work on area and perimeter using formulas. We will extend our learning this week by working on solving real world problems. At the end of the week, we will move into interpreting multiplicative comparison statements.
Reading - This week in reading, we are working on inference and explicit information. This is a HUGE standard in fourth grade. Students needs to be able to not only locate information, but use this information from the text, and their background knowledge to draw conclusions (inferences). Here is an informative video on inferring, and an example we did in class using toy story.
