What we are Learning This Week
Math: Mrs. Bennett
This week in math class we are focusing on the Math MAP test! We will test a bit each day and then brain breaks to relieve any stress and move our bodies after focusing for longer period of times! I am eager to see your child's growth and progress so far this year!
Homework: 1/26- 1/30
-No Simple Solutions- NTI
I always encourage students to continue to work on Reflex if they are not to full mastery yet!
LA: Mrs. Phelps
*NTI slides are below (also posted on Google Classroom)
*The book club will meet on Friday, on Google Meet, if we are still on NTI.
Social Studies: Mrs. Crush
Students will continue working on their Kentucky County Project. Each student has been assigned a cluster of counties in Kentucky to research as they learn about different regions of our state. This project will be completed in both Social Studies and Technology.
We are also continue working in our state postcard exchange! We have already received several postcards from around the country and will be mailing ours out soon as well.
NTI:
Students will be reading the story, Lin Yi's Lantern: A Moon Festival Tale by Brenda Williams, on Epic. See image for Epic code. Each NTI Day, students will be completing an assignment posted on Google Classroom. Please refer to the NTI 4th Google Slide to see what to complete on each NTI day. I ask that the students refrain from working ahead as we will pick up where we stopped when we return to school.

Religion: Mrs. Crush
For Religion, we will be focusing on our saint of the month, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton! It's very special that we learn about her with it also being Catholic Schools Week. She is the first American born saint and also started the first Catholic school. Each student was given a packet with activities to learn more about her. See the NTI 4th Grade Google Slide for the activities to be completed each day. Please refrain from working ahead as we will pick up where we stopped when we return to school.

Several schools collect food for low-income students who might not otherwise have food over the weekends. The program is called Blessings in a Backpack. There is a link below that you and your student(s) can sign up for. The volunteers simply walk around to each item putting it in a bag. One location is Alex R. Kennedy Elementary which is close to Ascension.
