Happy New Year Everyone! 2011.....it hardly seems possible! Better hold on tight to your cute little 4th graders because you will blink and they will be in middle school like my baby girl! Cherish them, make time for them, cuddle them, play with them. Can you tell I'm feeling a little emotional.....my soon to be 14 year old is away at Winter Retreat with our church youth group and I am missing her like crazy!! Giving her roots was the easy part, but giving her wings is very hard on this mama!
Hope you have had a magical and wonderful Christmas! Can't believe the break is over, but it will be nice to be back in a routine!
Remember that Monday your child may bring a game from home, including an electronic one. We will have some game time while we settle in to our new classroom.
I don't have my lesson plans at my fingertips (they are in a box in my class marked "important stuff"), but I do know the main things we will be doing ! :)
Reading: Leveled reading groups studying the genre: Mystery.....We will be exploring plot, character, and setting.
Science: Space
Math: 2 and 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication
We will be doing spelling and English as well, but can't remember the specifics. The children will get a new spelling list Monday.
I wanted to thank you so very much for the thoughtful cards and gifts I received for Christmas. It touched my heart deeply to be thought of so warmly. The children will receive a thank you note in the mail from me sometime soon. I also wanted to update you on our Boxes of Hope project. It was a beautiful scene to watch unfold! The children all did a wonderful job. I think they really enjoyed this project and hopefully learned a little about the true spirit of Christmas...the giving of ourselves. :) Thank you for helping to make it so special.
Talk to you soon!
