PDS 4th Grade

Welcome Back

Can you believe that the summer went by so fast and a new school year has begun?
This year the third and fourth grades are doing something new. Mrs. Norman is teaching math, Mrs. Waldbieser is teaching science, and I am teaching social studies to all third and fourth graders. Each homeroom teacher is teaching reading, spelling, and language to her homeroom.

Today is Open House at PDS. I look forward to meeting all of you tonight.

Today, we finished our chapter about Geometry by taking our chapter test. Believe it or not, I think we actually might have enjoyed it a little bit! :) We are now beginning our study on Area and Perimeter. We are finishing up our novel, Survival Flood, and will be finished with the novel next week. We will have a test of chapters 13-15, next Friday, May 13th.

We have enjoyed Spirit Week at PDS! Yesterday was camo day and today is sports day. Students were allowed to dress in their favorite team wear! Tomorrow is Twin Day, and Thursday is Tacky Day! It will be interesting to see how everybody dresses up!

Just a reminder, this Friday, May 6th is May Day Play Day! Information about this will be going home in today's folder. Lets pray for nice weather on Friday,and no rain!

Here are some pictures taken in Math class this week. We studied coordinate geometry, and got to make our own graphs, as well as points on graph that made the letters, PDS! Math can be fun!

It is hard to believe we only have a few weeks left of school! This school year has gone by way too fast! I know I can speak for Ms. Roberts, when I say it has been a true blessing for the both of us to have been able to teach your children this year! I have enjoyed every minute of it!

Next Friday, May 6th, is May Day Play Day!! Please make sure your child wears their green or gold shirt to school that day. A note on a blue paper went home today with more information concerning May Day Play Day. Please check your child's folder for this information. In regards to this day, we have dress up days for each day next week.
Monday: Camo Day
Tuesday: Sports Day
Wednesday: Twin Day
Thursday: Tacky Day * Please make sure all costumes are appropriate for school!*

Dismissal next Friday will be at 1:00, there will be no after-school program on this day.

We are continuing to enjoy our studies in MS History. We are learning lots of new information about our state! The MS notebooks have been fun to look at! Great job on these notebooks!

In Reading, we are still reading, Survival Flood. This has been a good story in connecting our MS History! We will have a test this Friday on Chapters 11 and 12.

I hope that you had a wonderful Easter holiday! HE IS RISEN!! In Mrs. Norman's class, before the break, we watched the movie, The Greatest Story Ever Told. We really enjoyed this movie, and had good discussions about the life of Jesus and the wonderful he was for us. I think out of all the movies we have seen, this was our favorite.

Here are some pictures from our field trip to Jackson and from before Easter break. Many thanks again to all the parents that went on this trip! The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time!!
