Fourth Grade Update - Nov. 1

There will be no Fourth Grade GATE class next week, Tuesday, Nov. 8.  I had the students write a note to help them remember.  They now have two weeks to finish their A to Z books.  Some students mentioned they were still doing research, that should have been completed last week.  I have reminded them repeatedly to not wait until the last moment to let me know if they get behind.  I will be at school every day and they are welcome to come see me with questions.  Also, I am always available via email.

Students are welcome to bring me their flash drive or email their books to me to be printed prior to the deadline.  Each student has an outline of what MUST be in the book.  Please help them to check over their work and see that they have everything they need.

We also did a visual thinking activity.  Ask your child about the "game" they played with their classmates.  If students would like they can come by the classroom and borrow a set of materials to bring home to share with you what we are doing in class when there is no paper trail to explain the activity.

Your child should have brought home a newsletter and the book orders yesterday.  I am only sending one per family so if you have two children in the GATE program you will only receive one newsletter and one set of book club order forms.  Book orders are due by Friday, Nov. 11.
