March 29th - A Week In Review

Report Cards
Report Cards are now available in Family Access.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the report card.  I talked with your children about how a report card shows growth toward 4th grade standards.  We talked about what that means.  I explained how proud I am of them.  Each one of the children have taken ownership of their learning and are working toward better understanding.  Just today, we were working on a new piece of writing.  Two students thought to open an old piece of writing that they felt good about, so that they could use it as a guide for the new piece.  We had a nice conversation about how that shows self regulation and a strong understanding of wanting to be better!

Science Day
On Tuesday, the Walled Lake Outdoor Education Center came to WLE with many different science activities for your child to participate in.  I think the pictures show it all:)  They had such a great time.





Read In - Literacy Updates
Today was our read-in to wrap up our March is Reading Month festivities.  I think your children had a great time.




The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
This was my first time reading this book with students!  It was amazing.  We laughed, we cried, and The Chronicles of Narnia.  Every local library will have them!  If you like to read with your children, this might be a good series to read with them.  Lots of opportunities to stop and talk - great life lessons.
we cheered.  I am hoping it ignited a spark in them to try to read more and more.  The best part about this book is that there are many books in the series.

Kindergarten Buddies
This week we had the opportunity to create a project based on Dr. Seuss' book I Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street with Ms. Flowers kindergarten class.  I wonder if your students shared a 'minnow' or 'whale' story with you.  All round it was a great time.  The 4th graders really took the role of being a role model very seriously!
