Mrs. Ahn, Mrs. Pinter, and I would like to give parents an opportunity to meet with us regarding your child's progress this year. We sent home sign-up sheets today for spring conferences. Please make your first, second, and third choices of times to meet. If none of the times work within your schedule, please let us know and we will try to work something out.
After the first round of time requests have been set up, we will send out an electronic sign-up in order to continue to schedule times with those families who have not already done so.

Weeks 30 & 31
Students had a fantastic time on Science Day last Friday. They explored the Grand Canyon, milked a cow, and learned plenty of other cool things. If you see Mrs. Jezisek around campus, tell her how much your kiddos enjoyed the day. She coordinated all of the volunteers and guest speakers, and we wouldn't have had such a great day without her.
Hopefully now that STAAR is over, any anxiety your child might have felt over the tests have faded. With that hurdle cleared, it is important to remember that there are still six more weeks of school and the year isn't over yet!
After the science quiz on Tuesday, we will shift into Adaptations, which is a pretty quick unit. The quiz on the material is probably going to be the middle of next week. For social studies, the class will have a very special guest present at an assembly this Friday. In writing, we are continuing to study sentence structure as we wind down poetry styles and explore fairy tales.

Weeks 28 & 29
Hopefully all of our fourth graders have recovered from the two days of testing. It's hard to be still and quiet and focused for four hours, but our kiddos survived it. There will be one final round of testing on April 21 & 22, and then students will be finished with testing for this year.
We have had some stop-and-go in science lessons due to the testing, but we should finish the lessons on Life Cycles this upcoming week. On the days of STAAR week that I will see all of my students, we will review the concepts. Students should expect the unit quiz on Monday or Tuesday the 27th or 28th.
Our class has earned a reward day with all of the "HOWLers" they have earned. Students voted on a Movie Day, and with Science Day this Friday the 17th, and then the STAAR math and reading tests, we will probably have it on Friday, April 24. Look for an email with more details soon.
