Despite Halloween being on Tuesday, the girls worked hard this week while having lots of fun! We had fun at the Halloween party and then the grade level party on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you to Kate Rawles for sending in the Bingo prizes and for Marjorie Childress for running the Bingo game.
Here are some classroom updates and reminders:
Math: The girls completed the chapter 1 math test and it came home in today's Friday Folder. I am proud of how well they did on the place value assessment. Our next unit is on adding and subtracting big numbers and we will move quickly through this since we practice this skill with various classroom activities.
Language Arts/Social Studies: We started our next class novel called Ranger in Time, Rescue on the Oregon Trail. This historical fiction novel provides a glimpse into what life was life during the time of Westward Expansion. We have already had some great conversations about why people left their homes to head out west and what was their motivation.
Today, we watched an overview video of Westward Expansion and then the girls shared something they learned from the BrainPop video. Here are their great ideas.
On Friday, November 10, we will have our first Wordly Wise Dress Up Day! All details are here and this is always a highlight of 4th grade!
Reminders:
- Carpool helper next week: Ella
- November 10: Wordly Wise Dress Up Day! All details are here.

- Field Trip to Virginia State Capitol: Tuesday, December 5 from 9:30 - 11:30: more details to come
