Week of August 21st

 Welcome to the second week of 4th grade! This week is our only five-day week this year so we DO have school on Friday. 

A note from the principal about dress code:

DRESS CODE--

Our dress code must be strictly enforced for students in all grades. Here are the most important pieces of the dress code that are applicable to elementary students:

•  All pants, shorts, skirts, etc. must be worn at the waist to cover one’s undergarments
• Shorts and skirts must be worn at the waist and reach to at least the mid-thigh. 
• Jeans may be worn as long as they are worn at the waist and do not display holes that are above the mid-thigh. *Mid-thigh is the minimum length allowed and is MIDWAY between the hip and the top of the knee.   Leggings must be covered to the mid-thigh by a long shirt, shorts, or skirt.
• Sleeveless shirts will be allowed as long as they have a minimum of four finger width of fabric covering from neck to shoulder.   

Please review this and help your kiddos choose clothing for school mornings that meets these criteria. We don't like having to talk to the littles about dress code, they get easily embarrassed and we don't want to make them feel bad! However, we do have to follow policy so we appreciate your support with this!!!!

ELA:

This week in ELA we are beginning our first novel, Stone Fox. We will be working on vocabulary and comprehension with this novel. Please have your student practice their spelling words at home this week. We will have our first spelling test on Thursday. 

Math:

This week in math we are going to be working on number forms, rounding, and place value. I did not have a chance to show the kids how to do their homework today, so we will spend some time on that tomorrow. 

Picture Day:

Picture day is this Wednesday. I sent home picture packets last week. You can send those in with a check or cash or you can order online.
