Hello 4/5 Families!

Happy New Year! I hope you had a cozy and relaxing break and that your student is rested and ready for school. We will continue our PBL research on the country of our choice, and begin composing portions of our non-fiction reports. We are learning about introductions and conclusions this week!


Attendance Reminder:

School start time is 8:15am. A student is considered tartdy if they arrive after 8:20am.

Mrs. Shim's Math: This week's homework will come home Wednesday and will be due on Friday. Next week we will have our Unit 3 assessment on Wednesday and Thursday!

**If there is any amount of snow on the ground, then boots and snowpants are required for your student to play on the playground at recess. Send snow clothes back to school if you took them home for the break! Send a complete set of extra clothes for your student to keep at school.

Thursday 1/4--Number the Stars and Long Walk to Water

Friday 1/5--Akimbo and the Elephants and Year of the Dog

**Please note that some of the meeting days have shifted this week due to the break!

Book clubs meet once per week. The students have time in class to complete the reading and two pages in their reading notebooks. If they are not finished the day before book club, they may bring their work home to finish. If their work is not complete on the day of book club, they will not attend book club and they are in for recess. Students should not get behind in their book club work. It is very difficult to catch up!

Happy New Year!

Mrs. Shimenetto
