Ms. Lawrence's 4th Grade Class 25-26

  We have had an amazing year in reading! Thank you so much for supporting your child’s reading plan; with your help, we were able to nurture a true love of reading and see wonderful growth in both fluency and comprehension. For our few remaining instructional days, students are welcome to read at home for "extra yards" if they choose. However, since we are currently immersed in a rigorous in-class book study of The Hope Chest —focusing on main idea, theme, and summary writing—at-home bookmarks are no longer required. Students will also have time in class to continue reading their independent books. Thank you for supporting all your child's hard work this year! ABC Countdown: Here is a link to our ABC Countdown. Tomorrow, students can bring a home outdoor toy to use for recess. This can include a ball, bike, scooter, etc. Tuesday will be pajama day. Wednesday, we will have a read in. Kids can bring a blanket and pillow and as many books as they would like! Thursday: Kid...

  Thank you so much to all of our chaperones from our Lansing trip on Monday! You made the trip safe and memorable for the kids and we appreciate you so much!  Sarett: On Wednesday, we will be going to Sarett from 12:15-1:45. Parents/Guardians who want to join us may meet us there. You pay the entrance fee when you arrive. We will have an educational talk inside first and then we'll go on a hike. Please dress for the weather and know that there may be muddy areas. Students should also dress for the weather(in layers) and bring a water bottle for the hike. They will eat lunch at school before we leave, so lunches aren't necessary. NWEA: We will complete the Math NWEA on this Tuesday, the 12th, and Wednesday the 13th.  Please try to avoid absences on these days. Kids can bring gum or mints to wake up their brain!  ABC Countdown: To help motivate kids through the end of the year, we created an ABC Countdown with fun activities/dress up days for the rest of the year. ...

  Lansing:  Our Lansing trip is tomorrow, May 4th.  Please remember…….. Check the weather in the morning! Please dress appropriately and wear comfy shoes. We will be walking everywhere!  Chaperones and students will meet in the classroom at 7:15 AM. Chaperones will receive an agenda, names of students in their charge, and instructions.  Chaperones and students will need a morning snack, lunch, and a disposable drink container.  Students may have one electronic device on the bus.  Students may bring some money for the museum gift shop ($ 20–$25 recommended; no food/candy on the bus).  Plan to pick up your child in front of Lincoln School between 4:15 and 4:30. Please make sure your child knows your phone number because kids can call or text from our phones if the times change due to traffic on the way home. Track Meet:  The track meet will be on Friday, May 8th. We plan to get to the high school at 9:00. We are still looking for a volunte...

  Lansing: Our Lansing trip is on Monday, May 4th.  Here is the information . This is always a favorite memory of fourth grade!  Please note that students need to arrive to school at 7:15, and will need to be picked up around 4:15/4:30 (this time is different than we originally shared). If your student normally rides the bus, please make sure to find other accommodations for this day. The bus will leave for Lansing at 7:30! Chaperones received a note home on Friday with more information. If you are chaperoning, please send in the $8 museum fee with your student before the trip.  Everyone going should bring a disposable water bottle, snacks, and a lunch. Students may also bring money for the gift shop! Track Meet:  The track meet will be on Friday, May 8th. We plan to get to the high school at 9:00. We are looking for a volunteer who has a wagon to hold student's water bottles. It would be extra wonderful if the volunteer could plan to pull the wagon ar...

  M- Step testing:  The kids worked so hard on the Reading M-Step, and I am extremely proud of them! On Tuesday, we will take the Math M-Step. Students should have headphones (we have extras if needed), and can bring gum or mints to help wake up their brain! We will take lots of breaks throughout the day. Please make sure your student has a healthy breakfast and gets lots of sleep! We will continue testing on Wednesday for anyone who does not finish.  Math:  In math last week, we completed Unit 6, and started Unit 7. This week, we complete lessons 3-6. Additional practice using IXL Textbook or Diagnostic will be extremely helpful as we get ready for M Step and NWEA!  Lansing trip:   Please click here  for important information on our Lansing field trip.
