Reading “IN THE EDGES”
Reading in the Edges- Reflection:  At the end of the week you need to reflect on your reading for the week.  You should keep “notes” about your book on sticky notes or on a separate piece of paper so that you can answer one of the questions below.  You might want to think about which question you will answer at the end of the week so that you can focus on that while reading this week. 
Your purpose…. What is the theme of your book?  Remember theme is the BIG idea in a text.  It is usually one word like kindness, friendship, acceptance, family, compassion, or bravery.  These are just a few of the themes that you might find in your book.  Use evidence from the story to support your answer.  Don’t forget to use punctuation, capitals, and indent your paragraphYou need to turn in thoughtful 4th grade work.
         I have explained the theme in the book.
         I have used 3-4 pieces of evidence from the book to support my answer.
         I have edited my answer with one LENS (capitals, punctuation, spelling)-circle one

This Week in LL38

It was great to meet with so many of you last week during conferences.  It is a good time of year to give you an update on how your child is doing at this point in the school year as well as give you some information about what will be happening for the remaining few months of 4th grade.  As the school year continues to move along, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Science

We are going to be starting to work on some exciting science experiments over the next few months.  We are going to be learning the basics of earthquakes and volcanoes.  We will also use that knowledge to help us build structures that would be able to (hopefully) withstand an earthquake. 
During conferences I had a bunch of sticky notes placed outside on the wall of my classroom.  Thank you to everyone that was able to take a sticky note.
Here are the items that are still needed to help us complete the experiments that we have coming up:
ü Package of marshmallows
ü Package of large paper plates
ü Foam pieces (3-4)
ü Large pieces of cardboard
ü 3 aluminum pans

Thank you in advance for any help you can give us.  We will be using these materials after April vacation.  J

I hope everyone has a fabulous week!

2.  What concerns do you have for your child at this point in the school year?




3. What are your goals for your child during the remainder of the school year?

Excited to meet with you soon,
