Good Break

I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving holiday and long weekend. As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow, November 28th. School will resume on Tuesday, and the winter festivities will be on everyone's minds. I even changed my Apple Watch face to a Christmas countdown!

In language arts, we will be starting a mini-unit on text features. We will focus first on fact versus opinion and then jump into text structures on Wednesday. In math, we will review the topics covered in class from the start of the year through last week. Your children did some problems for us before the break, and we will work in small groups to ensure we fill any learning gaps they may have from the start of fourth grade. Please note there will be no spelling or math homework this week. ​

Science will be spent a little differently for the next week and a half. We have the opportunity to connect with two fourth-grade classrooms around the United States next week to guess where they are located based on the Yes or No questions we ask. They, in turn, will do the same with us and our location. As a result, we will be looking at maps a little differently than we did earlier this year. It is an excellent opportunity to learn where Ohio is compared to other states in our great country. 

Finally, Mrs. Oboczky will finish her student teaching this week as she teaches a couple more social studies and guidance lessons. She has done an excellent job with the class, and we are thankful we will still see her daily in our rooms (Mrs. Hetman's and Miss Sokolowski's). If your child has a moment, it would be adorable if they could create a card for her, thanking her for her knowledge and wishing her luck next year. She will take her state licensure tests this spring and move on to get a classroom of her own at the end of the year.
