Dear Parents,

 March is here and we are about to the end of 3rd term.  Progress Reports are coming home again, please go over with your scholar if they are missing anything.

 Biographies were fabulous!  Thank you for helping your scholar do this research project.  Our next book report will be on a Battle Book.  The form will come home on Tuesday.

 Congratulations to Ethan and Ruby for doing a great job of spelling in the South Elementary Spelling Bee!  Ethan will go on to the District Spelling Bee!

 Curriculum News:

  • Literacy - Scholars are loving, at least I think they are, our Geology Unit.  We have been learning about tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes.  Scholars wrote a brochure about tsunamis and will be writing a wiki entry about a volcano.  New word study words will be coming home this week.
  • Math - Comparing fractions to decimals and money will continue this week.  Monday will be a mid chapter review.  9.6 add fractional parts of 10 and 100. 9.7 compare decimals. Review and test on Friday.  If you need a review and practice at home go to this link:https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-fourth-grade-math/imp-decimals
