Weekly Update 9/25

Hello 4th Grade Families!

Thank you for another fabulous week. I can’t believe we have been in school for 3 weeks now. I hope all your students are adjusting well to being back at school, and are enjoying their time at SMS.

This week, we really dove into math and social studies. In math, we are learning about place value to the millions place, and different ways to represent that number. Want to challenge your student this weekend? Ask them to write your telephone number in standard, word and expanded form! 🙂 In social studies, we learned about the 5 themes of geography and made a fun foldable. See if your student can list all 5, and sing the song we learned (and got stuck in our heads) to help us remember! We also talked about the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, and students were able to share what many of the “fruits” mean to them. As the Fruits of the Holy Spirit are a part of our school-wide theme this year, we will be exploring this topic frequently!

Next week, we will be starting Walk To Read and our first science investigation. We are going to be studying earth materials, and I am so excited to share with the students all different types of rocks and minerals.

Please continue to consider participating in the Global Reading Challenge this year! It is an exciting reading opportunity for 4th and 5th graders only!

Don’t forget to get pledges for the Move-A-Thon! If you have any questions about how that will work, please ask. More info to come on the incentives for students who receive top pledges! Thank you!

Have a wonderful, safe, productive weekend everybody!

Homework has started!

Today, we discussed as a class how the “In Your File” system will work. Students should know that all work is due in their file every FRIDAY. If they need to know what is due, they can look in our classroom, as well as on our classroom website. I have added a new page called “Homework/In Your File” so please check that out! There, I will try to keep our homework updated as the week goes on!

Students should also know they are expected to read 20 minutes each night, as well as practice their multiplication facts at home!

If you have any questions, please let me know! Thank you!

WE HAD A GREAT FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL!

As a class, we did so much in the first week! Getting to know each other, our classroom and our 4th grade year has been so exciting. I had a blast!

The class worked together to create our "Work Hard. Be Kind" signs in our classroom.

Also, a huge thanks to parents & families that were able to make it out to Back To School night on Thursday. I really enjoyed being able to share myself and the plans for our school year together.

Enjoy your weekend,

Ms. DiGirolamo ♥

Thanks to all the families that were able to come out for the SMS BBQ last night!

It was a great time, and I really enjoyed showing off the classroom and hearing about everyone’s summers. If you were unable to make it, we missed you! I am looking forward to seeing everyone bright and early Tuesday morning for the first day of Fourth Grade! If you have any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss before school starts, don’t hesitate to email me at ndigirolamo@stmadsophie.org.

Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend everyone 🙂
