Discontinue Blog?
This year, no parents at conference time commented on using the classroom blog to keep updated on what is happening in fourth grade. If this feature is not being used, I will discontinue posting here.
If you have been reading this blog, please get that feedback to me. I'll be happy to continue posting here if I know it is being used by parents.

University of Oregon Science Connection
Today is our last session with "Dr. Jason," from University of Oregon. He has spent the last two weeks with us working on electricity and magnetism. Be sure to ask your child about some of the fun experiments they have been doing in class.
Dr. Jason will be returning in the spring to do another (different) science unith with the 2nd and 3rd grade classes.

Welcome to a New Year
Welcome to our new school year. It was fun getting to meet you at Open House. The kids had a good first day and are off to a great start.
This Thursday, September 4, both fourth grade classes will be taking a walking field trip to Community Park. We will be doing a nature scavenger hunt along the way, looking for specific items in the environment.
Students need to bring a sack lunch and drink, and wear comfortable walking shoes. Dress for the weather. We will leave school about 10:30 and plan to be back to McKay around 12:30 in the afternoon.

End of the Week (& another field trip) :-)
This week we are completing several units of study.
In math we will finish Chapter 21 on fractions, and take a test over that material. In Social Studies we will finish up our Hacker Trail simulation. However the review test on this material won't be until next week. Students in my reading class also finish up a unit and have a review test this week.
Friday is our walk to the cemetery. We have been discussion local history, as a part of our bigger studies of Oregon history. We are also honoring Memorial Day observances.
Prior to arriving at the cemetery we will stop by the Community Park for a sack lunch. On the return trip students will swing by McDonald's for a treat (suggested limit is $2.00 for this purpose). As always, remember to have students dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes.
