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.

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.

Great Field Trip-Earth Week Activities-Famous Texan Essay due on Thursday
Hi,
We had a great time on our field trip today. Thank you so much to Mr. Schmidt, Mrs. Gawthorp, Mrs. Turner, and Mrs. Spencer for volunteering to chaperone. We had a bit of a delay waiting for our final bus to arrive but the children were patient and we still saw most of the museum and had fun. Be sure to ask your child about their favorite part of the museum. I know that the Star of Destiny movie was a big hit with most of them.
This week is Earth Week and we will be celebrating witht the following activities.
TUESDAY 4/17- 3R’s (REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE) Day -Bring an item to school that Forest Creek currently recycles, place into appropriate bin, and keep it out of the earth’s landfills! (juice pouch, plastic water bottle, ink cartridge, cell phone, alkaline battery, and aluminum cans). Keep using your Forest Creek green reusable water bottles! Available for purchase through the PTA Spirit Store. We will be sharing our recycable items in the AM.
• WEDNESDAY 4/18- Make that change day. Wear Green! How will YOU be better to the EARTH? Pass it on to a friend. (Fill out the small Green card located in envelope on the Go Green bulletin board and post it onto the bulletin board! -HOW WILL I HELP THE EARTH?)
• THURSDAY 4/19 Turn It Off day –Try conserving electricity, water, and reducing carbon emissions around your house (turn off water while brushing your teeth, turn off your computer, room lights, fans, walk don’t drive!). Don’t forget….tomorrow is ‘Walk to School’ Day to help celebrate Earth Day by keeping fuel emissions out of the air!
• ‘WALK TO SCHOOL’ FRIDAY 4/20 Go Green…Got Plants? – Go Green Plant Sale today… $1.00 per plant. And, be sure to check out the Forest Creek gardens…the whole area is really growing with numerous plants and beautiful outdoor art made by our very own students and our wonderful art teachers!
Don't forget that our famous Texan essay and projects are due on Thursday.

Pam Bartholomew

Fun Pen Pal Visit today!, Field Trip on Monday!
Hi,
We had a fun pen pal visit today! The children interviewed their pen pals while others videotaped the interview using a flipcam. We will be working to compile the footage into a pen pal movie. We also shared some of our special items and stories with our pen pals and some of them brought interesting items for us to see also. Mrs. Phillips, who has been with our pen pal group for five years, brought a calendar from Somerset, Iowa. She grew up there and the calendar contains photos from the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's. Her grandfather was a blacksmith there and the calendar contains a photo of him as a young man. It was very interesting to hear their stories from the past. We will be meeting with our pen pals one more time this year.
On Monday, we are going on our field trip to the Bob Bullock Texas History Museum. We will be leaving at about 9:00 and returning about 2:00. No one will be going to the gift shop so DON'T BRING ANY MONEY. Photos are not allowed to be taken in the museum so there isn't much need for the children to bring a camera. Don't forget to bring a sack lunch unless you ordered one from the cafeteria on your permission slip.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. We are going to have a great time!
Don't forget that our Famous Texans Essays and presentations are due on Thursday, April 19.
Have a wonderful weekend. Be sure that your child is reading a lot this weekend and practicing math facts.

Writing STAAR test on Tuesday, March 27 and Wednesday, March 28
Hi,
We will be taking our first STAAR tests of the year on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday, we will be revising and editing passages using a multiple choice format and will be planning, drafting, revising, editing, and writing the final copy of a one page composition (either a personal narrative or an essay). On Wednesday, we will revise and edit some more passages using a multiple choice format and will be planning, drafting, revising, editing, and writing the final copy of another one page composition (either a personal narrative or an essay). The children have been working hard and are ready to show off their awesome writing talents! I am excited for them.
Some things to remember:
No cell phones are allowed in the classroom. If your child has a cell phone in his/her backpack, then they will need to turn it into me and I will turn it into the office. All phones will be returned at the end of the day. The teachers will also be turning in their cell phones. Be sure that NO cell phones are left in back packs.
No visitors are allowed past the office tomorrow to be sure that our testing areas are secure. Please don't plan to come and eat lunch with your child.
Our school will be offering free breakfast in our cafeteria all this week from 7:15-7:45am. Be sure that your child has a healthy breakfast.
We will be testing for three hours then stopping for lunch (about 30 minutes earlier than our normal lunch time)and then we will test for one hour more for a total of four hours.
Your child may bring in a healthy, clean snack and a water bottle. (Nothing that will leave fingerprints on the test) If he/she needs a snack, he/she will need to stop testing, give me his/her test and answer dccument, and eat neatly and quickly at his/her desk. The time will not be stopped for snack breaks or bathroom breaks, it will only stop for lunch.
I have encouraged the children to take mental breaks as needed. They can put their head down for a few minutes, go take a drink from the water fountain, or go to the bathroom, then come back to their desk to get back to work.
The directions for the composition will come first on the test and then the passages to revise and edit. I will be reading all of the directions and then they are on their own to manage their time and get it all done in four hours. We have talked about reading the directions for the prompts very carefully so they know whether they are writing a personal narrative or an essay. Personal narratives will have the words "write about a time...." and the words "write about a personal experience" in the directions. Essays will have the words "explain" and the words "include a central idea". I am suggesting that they use their time in the following way. They will have to plan their composition by creating a graphic organizer, they will draft their composition, they will revise their composition (add details, show, not tell,include a strong conclusion, etc...) and they will edit their composition (check for correct sentence structure, paragraphs, spelling, capitals, punctuation, etc...)Then they will work on their multiple choice sections carefully. Finally, they will reread their rough draft and make any necessary changes and improvements. Lastly, they will write their final copy in their neatest handwriting with good spacing and they need to be sure to reread their final copy. They need to check that they didn't skip words or write words twice, and that it is the way that they want it.
Thank you so much for encouraging them this year in their writing. I am very proud of their progress and know that they are going to shine!
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Pam Bartholomew

Writing Camp-Huge Success!!!!!
Hi,
Your children worked so hard this week and actually produced 3 complete compositions! They wrote an essay completely independently on Monday during our practice test day. (tell about a special person and explain why that person is special) On Tuesday they planned, drafted, and revised a personal narrative. (write about a time that something unexpected or unplanned happened to you) On Wednesday, they revised, conferenced with me, revised some more,edited, and wrote their final copy of their personal narrative. On Thursday they planned, drafted, and began to revise an essay or expository piece of writing. (tell about a way that you can make your community a better place and give reasons or examples of what you can do). This was a little tricky for some of us so on Friday we planned an essay for another prompt (tell about a special place and give reasons why that place is special for you). Then we examined both of our essay plans and decided which one to draft, revise, conference about, revise more, edit, and publish.
I was very impressed with the way the children are revising independently. They are talking about ways they can improve their drafts and then doing it! It gave me goosebumps.
I was also amazed at the descriptions they are using. They are thinking about imagery (sensory words-describing using senses), exploding the moment (slowing down and telling an important part in great detail), and show, not tell (describe an action or emotion instead of just saying that it happened).
Your writers have grown a lot this week as writers. They worked hard and I pushed them hard to continue to focus and do their best and they did. I am very proud of them.
Keep talking about writing over spring break. Practice math facts and problem solving situations and be sure to read! Remember, 100 minutes is due on Monday, March 19 and students reading over 100 minutes will be rewarded!
Have a happy, safe, and relaxing spring break. Thank you for sharing your children with me. They did a wonderful job this week!

Happy Texas Independence Day! Writing Camp next week!
Hi,
Today is the day that Texas gained its independence from Spain in 1836. We celebrated by learning about Lorenzo de Zavala and Sam Houston. Later we will be comparing and contrasting these two historical figures and signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence. We also went to a very fun website about Texas and played a 3D simulation of a girl or boy in 1836 who is traveling to Washington-on-the-Brazos in search of his/her father. We ran out of time to finish the game so your child may want to play at home. The site is http://www.txindependence.org/. Have fun and celebrate Texas!
Next week begins our Camp Write Along week! On Monday, we will have a practice writing test to practice completing the revising and editing multiple choice part of the test and planning, drafting, revising, editing, and writing a final copy of a composition in the four hour time frame. We will have lunch at our normal time. We will test from 8:00-10:00, take a snack/stretch/bathroom break from 10:00-10:30. Continue testing from 10:30-11:30. Break and eat lunch then continue again at the end of the day.
Writing Camp begins on Tuesday! Our room will look like a campground and your children can bring in a sleeping bag/blanket, & pillow. They can dress up in camp type clothes and/or hiking boats. We will sing camp songs with a writing twist and review skills and practice our writing. We will then use the data from the writing test to help plan our fun and educational review of strategies during writing camp. We will also play some math games, and do some social studies activities. It will be so much fun and will help us become better writers. Let me know if you have any trees or camp type decorations that we could borrow to help transform our classroom into Camp Write Along-Bartholomew's Bat Campsite! I will be decorating at about 4:15 on Monday afternoon. Thank you Mrs. Slape for donating fire wood and red lights!
Don't forget to write letters for your camper! You can email letters to me or put them in my box in the teacher work room. I will be passing out a letter each day Tuesday-Friday. Encourage family members to write letters also! The kids will love to read your writing and read about your experiences!
Reading-We read articles about King Christian X of Denmark and compared the information learned in different sources. We learned that confirming your facts is important so we need to read more than one article when we research. We also continued to work on text structures and read about famous Texans.
Writing-What wonderful personal narratives were read today! We shared many of them and heard lots of great leads, interesting small moment stories, and strong word choice. We heard some super imagery (sensory words) and thoughtful conclusions. It is very difficult to get all that onto only 26 lines of paper! Our writers are rocking!!!!!
Math-We are working on measurement which will include area and perimeter. We will be doing many hands-on activities during our writing camp week to practice measuring using different tools and units. We will continue to practice math facts and problem solving as well.
Social Studies-We will be learning more about the Republic of Texas and challenges that the new country faced which led to statehood.
