Greek Mythology

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather we are experiencing. Looks like Mother Nature has finally decided to give us something other snow :)

Our reading Unit on Stargirl has concluded and the children absolutely loved hearing and adding to the books topic of Individuality, bullying, and living a life you are happy with. The posters they created are all beautiful! Great job everyone :)

Our Unit of Study for the Third Trimester in Reading is Greek Mythology. The children are very excited to learn about the Greek gods/goddesses and the mortals that they interact with. I have found some great websites that the children can use at home to learn more about the Greeks.

NJASK

Hi Everyone,

It is that time of year again-testing! The fourth grade will be testing the week of May 12th-16th. It is very important that the children arrive to school on time that week. Testing begins promptly at 8:42.

The children have been preparing for this test all year and they don't even realize it. Books we have read in class, writing assignments that have been given, and trimester quizzes and tests have all made the students very well prepared! They have all worked very hard this year and I am very proud of the progress they have made!

Today the children received NJASK practice booklets to bring home and review with you. Please take some time to look over the booklet and help your child ease any anxiety or questions they may have. If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to email me.

Please continue to look for updates as the test dates approach.

Have a great night!
Smiles:)
Ms. Mayer
