Mrs. Olsen's 4th Grade Blog

Welcome back to the 2019-2020 school year!

This will be a weekly reminder of what is coming up in the following week.  I will send it out as an email to the parents on Fridays.

General reminders:

1.  Binders should come back and forth to school everyday with your child.  Please check their binders for homework.

2. Make sure chromebooks are charged before coming to school everyday.

3.  Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns you have with your child. jolsen@ccsd66.org

This is what we will be working on the for the week of January 6-10, 2020!

Spelling:

The week we get back from the holiday break we will be starting in reading and spelling a unit on mythology.  So, our spelling words will go along with this.  We will work on the words for the first 2 weeks back.  So, our test on those words will be on Friday, January 17.

English/Reading::

We will be starting our unit on mythology.  I did a quick introduction on Thursday this past week about mythology.  We will be learning all about the Greek myths and doing a project as well.  The students will really enjoy it!

Social Studies/Science:

The students presented their Southeast scrapbook this week.  They did a great job.  We will finish off the Southeast with learning about the Cherokee Native American Tribe.  In science, we will start chapter 3 to continue with our unit on energy conversions!

SEL:

This week we will continue to learn more about emotion management.  

Mrs. Olsen's Math Class:

  We will be starting unit 4 on place value and the standard algorithm of addition.

Important Info:

No school from December 21- January 5. for the winter holiday break.  Enjoy the time with your family and enjoy some relaxation as well!

Classes will resume January 6.

Thanks to the parents who donated tissue boxes already!  I appreciate it! :)

** We are down to our final tissue boxes for the year! If anyone would like to donate a box or two it would be greatly appreciated!  These 4 boxes won't last till June!! I have a ton of plastic bags- I will send your child home with plastic bags in place of the tissue boxes contribution! :)

Have a great winter break!
