Dear Parents,
Last week in Religion, we learned about the sacrament of Baptism. Even though we are baptized only once, the grace of Baptism lives with us and renews us each day that we are alive. Being baptized we walk with others to continue to do Jesus’ work on Earth.
Tomorrow is our Chapter 14 Math test on divisibility rules, factors, prime numbers and composite numbers. Tonight your children have their math books and a practice test so that you can help them study and practice. Pages 314 to 316 have plenty of additional practice, and their Divisibility Rules booklet will help them also.
This week in Science your children will learn about bar and line graphs and begin constructing their own graphs to display their results. Over the next month we will be working hard to write up our results and conclusions and to make display copies of our charts and graphs for our Science Fair Projects. All of the words that will go on your child’s display board will be sent home in a folder at the end of February. That will give you more than a week to help your children put these pieces on their display boards, create a title, and add decorations. More details will be sent home in the folders with all of the Science Project pieces. Your children’s Science tests are in these packets. Please take some time to review it with your child.
We at last have a finalized date for our Sacramento trip, thanks to the hard work and many phone calls of Sally Cincu (Thanks, Sally!). We will take a bus to Sacramento on Wednesday, February 24. We will leave school at 8:30 and will return at about 5:30. Mark your calendars.
Because many of our 4th grade field trips are in such high demand, we have a scheduling conflict in February. (Thank you, Renee Fujii, for scheduling both of these wonderful trips!) We are scheduled to participate in a wonderful program called Adobe Days on Tuesday, February 16 and to hike 3 miles to see the elephant seals at Ano Nuevo on Wednesday, February 17. Every year during the winter these elephant seals migrate to this beach to give birth to their young and to mate. Although Pescadero is about an hour and a half away, I feel that seeing this very special part of our stateis worthwhile. Adobe Days is a special program at Peralta Adobe in downtown San Jose in which your children will rotate though stations to participate in activities that San Jose inhabitants from over 100 years ago undertook in order to survive in California. Parents will be taught to lead one of
five activity stations where children will do activities such as making adobe bricks, cornhusk dolls and tortillas. Both are spectacular field trips, but being back to back, it will be difficult for the kids, for you, and for me. I would like your help in choosing whether to do both field trip or just one. Since Ano Nuevo is a trip your families can organize, if we choose only to do one, it would be Adobe Days. Please fill out the survey below and return it to school with your child by Thursday. Thanks for all your help and support.
You should expect your child’s report card tomorrow in the Tuesday Envelope. Your children will look at their report cards in class tomorrow and will reflect on their progress and on the goal that they set with you at the beginning of the second quarter. Please make some time this week to sit with your child so that he or she can talk about their progress and choose a new goal. Try to focus on their strengths and on only one thing to improve. Please return the report cards and 3rd quarter goals to school by next Tuesday, February 2.
Now that we are well into our new year, I’d like to remind you about the Bingo nights that we chose to help pay for some of our many field trips this year. Please mark your 2010 calendars on Saturday, February 20 and Saturday, March 20 as fourth grade BINGO nights. We would love to see you on one or both nights!
This is the last week to purchase a display board for your child’s Science Fair project at school. If you would like to purchase one, just send $3.75 to school with your child. The color choices are red, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, black or white. They are easy to find in craft stores also. If you have any questions or concerns, please drop by or e-mail me at triciaheis@aol.com.
Sincerely,
Tricia Heissenbuttel
