Mrs. Anson's 4th Grade Class

I have finally been able to lock down due dates for book reports. They will be due on May 7, and students will sign up to present the 7th, 8th, and 9th. These book reports should be on a biography or autobiography.

I suggested to students to use Puppet Pals as an option for the book report. Many students have used this before. It is an app on iPad. This is NOT required. It was just a suggestion to them as another way they could do a digital presentation using the TV screen in class. I am requiring them to do something with technology for this final book report. Encourage them to get creative!

Just a reminder, we will be SAGE testing starting April 30th. Please be sure your students get lots of sleep, eat right, and have a positive attitude about showing off what they have learned all year!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is a Dollar Dress Down Day!

I am very excited to announce our next field trip! The entire fourth grade will be traveling to Thanksgiving Point to tour the Museum of Ancient Life. Our classes will be using the Frontrunner instead of buses for this field trip. The field trip will be Wednesday, May 2.

We also have another in-school field trip coming up from Ogden Nature Center on April 30th. To offset the cost of both field trips, we are asking for a donation of $7 per student.

Welcome back from break! The students came back so relaxed and excited to work. It is so great for all of us to be back in class.

We are already winding down the school year, but we have lots of work to do over the next few weeks! We have learned our 4th grade Math and now we will be reviewing what we learned all year and perfecting our skills. From now until school gets out, I will be sending home individualized homework, mostly on FrontRow. Students should check FrontRow often, and do any open assignments as homework. Remember, the assignments are exactly what THAT student needs to work on! Always make sure students are reading for 20 minutes.

Finally, here is some information about an upcoming car wash and dress down day:

I’ll see everyone back here on Monday, April 9th. Get lots of rest and relaxation because we are going to focus on getting ready for SAGE testing when you get back!

Dear Parents,

Homework for the week of March 26th will be on an individual basis. I will be sending home a few worksheets with certain students, but everyone else should play Prodigy or Math Playground! Don’t forget to read for 20 minutes each night!

STUDENTS! Check out the new link called MATH PLAYGROUND on the bookmarks menu to the right —-->
