Spring Conferences coming up, Famous Texan Essay due on Thursday, Order hard bound book written by your child, STAAR testing next week

Hi,

Don't forget that our Famous Texans essays are due tomorrow. A bibliography is needed. Citation maker is a great link to use and it is linked to our class webpage, on the social studies link page, at the very bottom. We will also begin our presentations tomorrow. The kids have been working hard! Thank you for your support at home.

Order forms for our individual published books are due on Friday. I will be mailing the books on Saturday to be printed. Your child will bring a form home tomorrow if you didn't return one yet. Every child will get one free copy of the book. If you would like to order more, that would be great. The cost is $19.95 per book. If you don't want to order more copies, then sign and return the form with the NO box checked. The class has worked so hard on these!

Spring Conferences
It is time for spring conferences already! It is hard to believe that fourth grade is almost over! Please let me know a time that could work for you and your child. Please email me with your preferred times. Rank times as 1st (preferred time) , 2nd, and 3rd .

We will be talking about your child’s progress this year. Your child will share their favorite parts of fourth grade. We will also talk about strengths and areas for improvement.

I look forward to meeting with all of you and will let you know your scheduled time as soon as possible.

Next Tuesday, your child will be taking the STAAR math test. We have been working hard reviewing and will continue to do so the rest of this week and Monday. Be sure to continue to work on math facts and math vocabulary at home.

On Wednesday, your child will be taking the STAAR reading test. We have been reading a lot and working hard on comprehension strategies. Be sure to continue to talk to your child about what he/she is reading.

The Texas Education Agency has information about STAAR testing and some released questions. We have gone over these at school but feel free to explore at home as well. The campus will be closed on these days to visitors as well as next Thursday because the fifth graders will be taking their STAAR science test. There will be free breakfast in our cafeteria on these days. A healthy snack is also encouraged and an early bedtime the night before. Thank you for helping your child do their best.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for sharing your child with me.

Sincerely,

Pam Bartholomew
