Hello Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful spring weather and the bird activities in our area with your children.

I have a list of some of the important dates and items that I would like to communicate and share with you:

CAASPP Practice Link
This year, the CAASPP practice link is being shared with families for "at home" practice. This is recommended. Please take a look at these resources with your child. Go onto the practice and training tests website. Select student interface practice and training tests. Sign in for a guest session so your child does not need an ID. select grade 4. Your child should practice the following tests: Math practice test and Math performance task; and the training test for ELA grades 3-5. The answers are not scored, but there is value in looking at the questions together and discussing how to select the best answer to multiple choice questions and looking at how to answer those prompts that require a written response. Your child should practice 1 of each kind of test. This also gives your child a chance to practice the fourth grade CAASPP in preparation for the fifth grade CAASPP next year.

Art work: please pick up your child's art projects that are in the fourth grade box on the table outside our classroom. Mary Beth will let me know whether or not there are additional pieces that require a pick up in the next week as well.

Last 4th grade zoom and instructional day of school: Tuesday June 9th
* Teachers have been asked to put together optional recommended schedules for Wednesday and Thursday. There are no grades or turn in requirements for these optional recommendations.

Chromebook return and check in: Tuesday June 9th from noon - Friday June 12th @ noon

Music and PE last day-- Monday June 8th

Last day of Art--Thursday June 4th

Report cards--emailed by teachers to parents by June 12th

Singapore Digital Math Practice-- please make sure your child is wrapping up their digital math practice. Many children are not finished with their decimal practice. This is especially important if your child struggles with the material.

Google Classroom-- please check in with your child on their chromebook for google classroom assignments. They can complete assignments and turn them in for credit. 

We are in the home stretch, now.

Thank you all for your wonderful support,

Heather
