To celebrate this accomplishment, we will be planning a special event for our students and staff—we are so proud of all they have achieved!

Veterans Day Luncheon – Tuesday, November 12 at 11:00 a.m.: We are inviting veterans to join us for lunch so we can honor and thank them for their service.
Robles School Spelling Bee – Thursday, November 13 at 9:30 a.m.: Families of participating students will be invited to attend and cheer on our competitors.
Fostering a Love of Reading at Home:
Reading is the foundation for academic success, and fostering a love of reading at home helps students grow in confidence and curiosity. Try to set aside time each day to read together, explore books that interest your child, and discuss stories to build comprehension and critical thinking. Let your child see you reading, visit your local library together, and celebrate the joy of discovering new stories. Small, consistent steps at home make a big difference in your child’s growth as a reader!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education. I am so proud of the Bobcats for their achievements, and I look forward to celebrating our continued successes with you this school year!
Warm regards,
Dustie Gunn, MAES, MBA

Fourth Grade News
What will Students Learn this Year?
English Language Arts
In fourth grade ELA at Robles Elementary, students are moving from learning to read toward mastering reading comprehension skills. They analyze point of view, identify main ideas, and interpret text and graphic features. They also grow as writers, crafting detailed paragraphs with vivid language and structure.
Mathematics
Students explore measurements, area, perimeter, and multi-digit operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and long division. Geometry includes angles, lines, and triangles, and students are currently working with fractions—finding equivalents, comparing sizes, and performing operations.
Science
Science topics include animal adaptations, magnets and energy, Earth’s systems, natural disasters, and the water cycle. Students engage in hands-on exploration to deepen understanding.
Social Studies
In Social Studies, students study American history beginning from prehistoric times. They explore early peoples, Native American tribes, and the Age of Exploration, leading into colonies and the foundations of the United States.
