Newsletter for 9/12

Students have been working hard with following procedures and getting acclimated with their Chromebooks.  In math, we have been focusing on place value and interpreting multiplication sentences.  They are learning how to take notes in their Interactive Notebooks and making sure their work is organized and neat.  Please remember that the Notebooks will be graded each 9 weeks.  It is important to bring the Notebook to class every day so that they will not get behind on notes.  I will only look for work inside the notebook.

SOARing Citizens of the Week

Congratulations to Jayla Fletcher (Jacobs HR), Dyshawn Ragsdale (Poel HR), and Jarquez Young (Kiser HR) for receiving the SOARing Citizens award for this week. These students have been nominated by their homeroom teacher because they are always great examples of leaders in the classroom. I am proud of their efforts and the great character they display on a daily basis! Way to go Jayla, Dyshawn, and Jarquez!!!

Homeroom News

Our Leader of the Pack this week was Jackson Betette.  He was a great leader.  We loved the story he researched about a leader who worked hard to purify the water in Ohio and Michigan.  We also enjoyed the baby pictures he shared and the nice letter from his dad.

Tomorrow we will be MAP Math testing.  Please make sure your child gets a good night's rest.  Encourage them to do their best.

News from Ms. Jacobs- September 5

Our second week of school was productive and we are definitely in full swing.  We began discussing Place Value and Multiplication. We have also finished setting up our Interactive Math Notebooks.  This is a huge portion of your child’s grade so more information about the maintenance of the notebook will be coming next week.

We will also be MAP testing on Tuesday, September 9th and Thursday, September 11th for Reading and Math.  Please make sure you child gets a good night’s sleep the day before.

Conferences will be the week of September 22nd.  A form will soon be sent for you to sign up and choose the time that works for you.

SOAR Sticks - this year in 4th grade we are using a yardstick that is painted different colors and a clip system for students to have a visual cue for their behavior. If students are on GREEN they are “SOARing” (which means they are doing what they are supposed to be doing). If they clip up to BLUE they are “SOARing High” (which means they are always on task doing the right thing and sometimes going above and beyond). If they clip to PINK they are “SOARing Out of This World” (which means they are having an awesome day!) I have even had some students who have clipped off the stick to my lanyard. We will recognize the students who are on green, blue, or pink by placing a color coded smile in the agenda book. There may also be other small rewards such as pencils or stickers or a positive note home.

On the other hand, students who are not SOARing in class will be given a verbal warning and then they will be asked to move their clip down. YELLOW means they received a warning. ORANGE means the student did not improve his/her behavior and had to clip down again. RED will be a phone call home. Students who clip down to yellow or orange, do have an opportunity to clip back up, but they must make an awesome effort for the remainder of the day. It is our hope that all students will strive to stay on green or above.

Family Folders

Please make sure you check the Family Folder each week for important papers that may need to be signed and returned. It is important that these papers be filled out promptly and returned. Thank you to those of you who have been on top of that! We really need the pink updated student information sheets returned (most of you have already done so) because these tell us the most up-to-date phone and email information for you. We have run into several instances where phone numbers are not working when we try to call. Please make sure we have your updated information!!!
