Mr. Van's Fourth Grade News.

 
May 13th - 17th
 
Field Day information sent home on Thursday.
 
We are all set with our Zoo Trip Chaperones.  An email will be sent out to chaperones soon with all details.   
 
We are a Peanut Aware classroom this year so please consider peanut / nut alternatives for individual student lunches and snacks. 
 
Classroom Behavior
The class has been struggling with talking and lack of focus.  Simple errors on work will cause grades to drop.  Please have the "chat "  Basic classroom expectations need improvement.  Writing down homework and bringing it back and forth to school are a must.
 
There is too much talking and goofing around.  Many warnings have been given out.  We can do so much better.  Reflections / Referral will be the next step.  
 
Camp Half-Blood
We are Ares Cabin Five & we are partnered up with Apollo in the afternoon.  Thank you so much for the donations for our fourth grade Camp Half-Blood event.  The classes are loving the activities and decorating so far.  Currently we are just setting up camp and getting things set up.
 
Math
We are now on module 4 which includes angles and lines we will make it to the mid module and then end the year.   Please keep up with Zearn and Reflex.     
 
Social Studies
This will be our last region. We will discuss the West region along with its climate, landforms, and culture.   The students should be reviewing state placement and state capitals.
 
We will finish the year up with State research and state floats.

Students need to continue to work on Zearn throughout the week. I would love for them to keep as close to the current lesson if they can.  We are currently on Module 5 lesson 20 tomorrow.
