Mr. Van's Fourth Grade News.

 
April 29th - May 3rd
 
We are all set with our Zoo Trip Chaperones.  Helpers were chosen first if they have not been able to help out at a party with the class.
 
We are a Peanut Aware classroom this year so please consider peanut / nut alternatives for individual student lunches and snacks. 
 
Classroom Behavior
We continue to work on less talking and more focus on work.  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.

Below is a link for parents for the Math Curriculum.  Mrs. Averbeck has designed a Padlet or a "One Stop Shop" for all out math needs.  She will guide you through what is included like manipulatives, videos and all practice and homework pages.
 
 
Zearn
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. 
 
Students should be able to log into their lap with their password on their laptop.  The password should be pasted in their agenda notebook.
