A note from Ms. Mungin:

“Dear Parents,
I hope that you are enjoying the recorder playing you are hearing around your house these days.  This rotation all students have a YELLOW recorder log to turn in.  6 days is required 15 minutes a day.  Students should be practicing 3 songs.  When they return to music class they will do group testing on all songs to receive their recorder karate belts.  Failure to complete this assignment will result in a non-passing grade.  Parents please encourage your child to practice by signing their logs.  I appreciate your help.
REMEMBER PRACTICE MAKE A GREAT GRADE!!!
Thanks, 

Ms. Mungin"

Happy Monday Everyone!
This week is an exciting one, as we start our week off with our first field trip! Here is what we will be learning this week.

  • Reading- making inferences in fictional text (ELAGSE4RL1)
  • ELA- High frequency words (contractions)/ Run on and fragmented sentences/Narrative writing (4W3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 4W5)

  • Social Studies- Early Explorers (SS4G2b, SS4H2, 2a, 2b)

We will again be working on high frequency words (contractions) this week. Please make sure that when your students are studying, that they know not only how to spell the contraction, but also understand what the contraction stands for, so they can use it in their writing.

Information

Field Trip
Field trip permission slips went home today for our field trip on Monday Oct 10th to Fire Safety Village. please turn in permission slips (signed with front & back filled out) as soon as possible. Also, there are a few students still missing the initial waivers that were sent home 2 weeks ago. Please ask your child about this waiver. At this point some students have received 2 copies of the waivers. Both permission slips and waivers must be turned in, in order to go on the field trip.  If your child is packing a lunch for the field trip, it must be brought in a bag that can be thrown away. Drinks must also be in disposable containers. Please have your child wear standard attire and sneakers. We are encouraging girls to not wear skirts/dresses unless they wear tights or shorts under them as they will be moving around a lot.

Conference Week 
Conference week is October 17-21st. Please be on the lookout for an email coming with directions for a sign up genius, so that you may sign up for a conference time. Report cards will be released during your conference time.
