Dates to Remember:
Thurs., May 23 - Field Trip to Lizzardo Museum 9:30-12:00 (We will return to school for lunch, but not in time for hot lunch, so students must bring a sack lunch. They may get milk if they bring money for it.)
May 27 - No School Memorial Day
Wed., June 5 - Last Day of School
For the final part of this year, fourth grade will follow the same late policy as the fifth grade uses. Those assignments that are late and are graded will have 10% taken off for being one day late, 25% taken off if two days late. If it is not turned in before the final test, a 0 will be assigned. If an assignment is late, and is not graded we will refer to our homework bank for that class.

Spelling - This week is a review unit. The students will be responsible for pages 247-249 in their workbooks. There will be a test on Friday of this week.
Math - We will have our test on Chapter 15, fractions on Tuesday. I feel that the students need an extra day to review the fraction skills. Please use the sheets in their folders as well as their textbooks to help them study. There are a lot of good review lessons at the end of the chapter. We will then begin a unit on multiplication of higher numbers. We will also have an 8 multiplication fact test on Friday.

They will create a slide show to go with the books they are reading which will summarize the main events of the story.
