The Week Ahead 6/13-6/17

Updates
This will be the final week of school. It has been a pleasure to work with this group of students! Each morning I wake up excited for the chance to spend the day with this class. Thank you for the great support from home, it makes my job so much easier!

Artist Visit
We will get to work with an artist this week. His name is Mark and he will be joining us Monday-Thursday. He will teach some collage techniques, and then the students will create a final collage piece.

Health 
Students came home with information about an upcoming health lesson. The lesson will cover changes a child goes through as they get older. 4th grade boys will be with me for the lesson and the girls will go to Ms. Youm's class. All students will participate in the lesson, unless they are opted out by a parent.


4th Grade Olympics
On the last day of school we will have 4th Grade Olympics! Students from our class and Ms. Youm's class will create events out of objects in the classroom. Then they will teach their Olympic event to other students and they will compete in the events. Should be lots of fun!

The Week Ahead 9/3-9/7

First Week We had a great first week of school! My goals for us were to get to know each other, come to an understanding of classroom agreements and norms, and begin to collect some baseline data on where we are academically. We accomplished these goals and I think we're in for a fun year! Headphones Please have your student bring headphones to school. If you are unable to get headphones for your child, let me know and I'll make sure they are provided. Stay Connected Instagram Follow our class Instagram account at blanc.wstv.

The Week Ahead 3/2-3/6

How We Organize Ourselves Thank you to all of the chaperones who joined us for our field trip to the State Capitol! Hopefully you have had a chance to check out some of the pictures from the trip on our class Instagram account, blanc.wstv. On Friday, our classroom committees presented their classroom bills. There was fierce debate but in the end, only one of the five bills got a majority vote in both the House of Representatives and Senate and is now a classroom law. Have your student tell you what they think of the new classroom law. Last Monday, I sent you an email letting you know that we will begin teaching our state mandated Erin's Law lessons next Monday, 3/2. In the email I sent a link that included information on the learning outcomes as well as a link to a website with more information. If you review these materials and decide you want your student to opt out of the lessons, please contact the office and they will get you the opt out form. Students that opt out will do

The Week Ahead 3/9-3/13

Inquiry Next week we'll begin our Where We Are in Place and Time inquiry unit. The central idea of this unit is migration impacts individuals and communities. The lines of inquiry are reasons for migration, ways migration impacts quality of life, and impact on current groups. In the beginning of the unit we'll learn about migration by studying westward expansion, starting with the Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark led Corps of Discovery. Math Students will continue their study of fractions next week. Up to this point our main focus has been working with equivalence and comparing fractions. Two of the big ideas students should grasp are for fractions to be equivalent, the ratio must be kept constant and the greater the denominator, the smaller the pieces. Next week the students will work on adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Conferences Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place the first week of April. Please go to
