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 for the week of February 3-7, 2020!
Spelling:
We will have a new list of words next week. They will be focusing on greek roots again- micro, hydra, astro, hydro, and path. Our test will be Friday, February 7.
English/Reading::
We started our profile in courage project this week. They will finish them up over the weekend if they need to and we will start presenting them on Monday. I suggested they have their parents check over their spelling and grammar before presenting it.
Social Studies/Science:
We continued our learning about the Midwest this week. We will finish up the Midwest next week. In science, we continue working on chapter 3, where we will be comparing different engineers jobs.
SEL:
This week we practiced strategies on how to calm down when you are feeling anger. Please take a look at the purple home link that went home too. This is a great way to continue using the strategies your child is learning here at school and use them at home too. Next week we will be discussing and learning how to manage anxiety.
Mrs. Olsen's Math Class:
We will be finishing unit 4 next week and plan on the test for Friday, February 7. I am going to see how the week goes and see if we need to stretch it to Monday, February 10. I will let the students know next week about that. Please look for their study guide to come home to go through and make sure they understand anything they get wrong on the study guide. The study guide and test are very similar! Please make sure you check my sign up genius for a conference time slot. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4aa4af22a5f85-february80
