<div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.399999618530273px;">Tuesday is a our field trip to Lotus Lake. We will be leaving promptly at 7:45am and returning at 3pm. It is important your child dresses appropriately for the weather. (It is supposed to be cool with a chance of rain.) We have suggested bringing a raincoat and boots, as we will be near water and it may be muddy. They will also need a bagged lunch that day. Please send in your child's permission slip if you haven't already done so. </span></span><br />

It will be a half day and your child will spend the morning with their new 5th grade teachers. </span></span></div>

Be sure to congratulate your student on their hard work! Between NECAP, SBAC, Fountas and Pinnell Reading Tests and normal end of the year assessments these 4th graders have been busy! We were incredibly impressed with the progress the class has made over the course of the year. We are encouraging students to read over the summer to ensure they don't slide back in their reading. We don't want them to loose all that hard work they have done this year. Mrs. Giller will be assigning some reading as well. The library offers a great summer reading program that is a wonderful resource. We hope your child will participate!</span></span></div>

<br />
Happy Mother's Day!<br />
<br />
We are still reeling from our presentations at the History Fair! It was amazing to see how students rose to the occasion and were able to demonstrate their knowledge through their unique performances/demonstrations. No one will look at Woodstock the same after all they learned!<br />
One student said, "I couldn't believe studying history could be so much fun!" Thanks to all of the mentors for their hard work!<br />
<br />
There are many changes in scheduling during the next two weeks. We had the SBAC literacy tests already but starting on Monday, we will be doing the Math test. It will continue through Wednesday.<br />
On Friday we will be doing the NECAP Science test, which will go into next week ending on Thursday,.( Only fourth graders in our district take this test!)<br />
<br />
On Thursday, May 18th we will be going to the Sheep and Wool program at Billings' Farm. We will leave at 11:15 and return by the end of the day. <b>Students will need to bring a bag lunch.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We hope to see all of you at the May Day Celebration on May 24th. Fourth graders will be doing the maypole dance as WES' traditional rite of passage.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Good Afternoon 4th Grade Parents,<br />
<br />
We were excited to hear that so many of you seemed to have such lovely breaks. Whether is was getting away to warmer weather and salt air or hanging around to enjoy the outdoors in our own special corner of the world, hopefully you are feeling refreshed!<br />
<br />
We have been busy since our return from break. Our new multiplication and division unit has really challenged kids, but we are so excited to see them utilizing new strategies and working so hard. We have been working on solving and estimating for 2-digit multiplication problems and are moving on to 4-digit by 1 digit multiplication and division in the coming weeks. We sent a hard copy of the family letter home. Hopefully this is helpful to understand some of the strategies we are practicing at school so you can help at home, if need be.<br />
<br />
We have enjoyed integrating reading, writing and social studies to allow complete emergence into Vermont history! Students are not only working on a topic for History Fair but they are also researching a separate Vermont history topic for writing and reading that they will begin their rough draft on later this week. Another part of our thematic learning is students are reading <i>Farmer Boy</i>, a Laura Ingalls classic about Almanzo Wilder, a young boy living on a big farm in New York. Students are working hard to complete a chapter a day and assignments involving comparing and contrasting the lifestyle from the 1800's to the present. Because of our focus on Vermont's history, students seem to really be enjoying and understanding the topic.<br />
<br />
By now you should have received your child's report card. We have encouraged them to sit down and look over the report card with you as this is a great opportunity to have a conversation about strengths and areas of growth as well as making some personal goals for this last quarter.<br />
<br />
We are looking forward to the last quarter with the 4th graders and feel very proud of all of the growth they have made this year.<br />
<br />
History Fair is Thursday, May 11th from 6-7:30pm. It is expected that students arrive at <b>5:45pm</b> with a water bottle. Parents and guests will be asked to wait outside until 6pm, unless it is raining. They should be fed dinner prior to arriving. Students should know what dress is appropriate for their presentation. This could be a costume or neat attire. We are counting on everyone being in attendance, since they have been preparing for this performance for 6 weeks. Your child is presenting 3 times that night and there will be a schedule at the door. In-between their performances they are expected to quietly watch another performance. Adult supervision is appreciated. They are excited to share what they have learned in the last 6 weeks.<br />
<br />
We are looking for a chaperone for May 18th from 11:30-2:10 for a trip to Billings Farm. We are also looking for a chaperone from May 26th 10:15-12:30pm. Please contact us if you are interested.<br />
<br />
We are thankful for Paul Kowalski and Sammie LaBombard who came in yesterday to help out with students, while we enjoyed a delicious luncheon. Thank you to anyone else who has helped to coordinate a wonderful teacher appreciation week. We are feeling very appreciated!<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Happy Spring Parents,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dare we think this fine weather will last? We want to bring you up to speed with events occurring before and after the spring vacation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Grades for the third quarter have closed and report cards are in the process. Look for them in the mail at the end of the week after April vacation. There are no comments for this term so feel free to contact us for any clarification should you need one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">History Fair mentors have been hard at work with your children, researching subjects at the History Center, taking field trips and pulling together resources to make history come to life. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons(except for this Friday due to Show Your Stuff) are <u>VERY</u> important. After the break, groups will be formulating a presentation for the History Fair that will occur on <b>Thursday, May 11th from 6:00-7:30p.m. All students are expected to attend! (</b>Coaches of spring sports should be given a heads' up.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Writing and Reading are taking a thematic view of non-fiction historic events in Vermont. Each child will be writing about a topic of his/her choice; then reading about it in resources such as books, articles and on the computer. This topic may or may not be related to the History Fair project but it will deepen his/her understanding of Vermont history.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our next Math unit, which starts today, is multiplying large numbers. Students who are still skip counting to figure out facts are going to find this challenging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In most cases, just working on specific difficult facts will be helpful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We have our end of the year class trip planned for Tuesday, June 6th. This all day event is at the Lotus Lake Discovery Center in Braintree, VT. We will leave at 7:45 by school bus and return by 3:00. We have room for a couple more chaperones. Let us know if you are interested.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last but not least, April's Book Talk is due on Friday but if students need the vacation they may have it. One more to go for May- due on the 31st. There will be a Scholastic News this week but only two left for the month of May. Effort for this homework does impact grades. Keep up the good work!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cheers,</span><br />

In reading we are currently reading "dog" themed stories to go along with the reading Iditarod. We are focusing on point of view and using evidence to predict what will come next. When you come in next week you will have a chance to see some of the work students did with our Asian reading unit.<br>
<br>
In writing we are wrapping up our unit on literary fiction. Students are using a variety to techniques to elaborate on authors craft, theme's and the morals of short fiction stories. They used their work from the previous persuasive writing unit to provide evidence and examples to support their thesis about these stories. You will enjoy seeing your students work when you come in for our Student Celebrations!<br>
<br>
In math we are digging deep into fractions and decimals. We have been using arrays to understand fractional parts and are now beginning to use this understanding to add fractions together. When you visit next week you will have an opportunity to play some of the math games your students are enjoying to become more comfortable with fractions.<br>
<br>
We will be sending home book talk forms and an orange permission slip for the History Fair mentors tomorrow. Be sure to ask your students for them and return the slips! Mark your calendars for History Fair on May 11th. The groups will be assigned soon!<br>

Happy Town Meeting Day Parents,<br />
<br />
<u>Tomorrow</u> we will be going by school bus out to the solar array a mile from the center of Woodstock on Rt. 12. Eric Wegner, from Woodstock Aqueduct will be there to explain to us how the panels were assembled and where the power is used. This trip ties into our study of energy and how renewable forms create sustainability. PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD WEAR BOOTS, LONG PANTS AND A JACKET.<br />
<br />
In STEM we are creating various devices that use a battery and complete circuits to do a job or perform a task. Soon we will hear about an island off the coast of Denmark, where all of the energy used on the island is produced there. Students will then create their own "Energy Island".<br />

<br />
Yesterday, Monday, March 6th the <i>official</i> Iditarod race started in Fairbanks, Alaska, which is 350 miles to the north of Anchorage. It was -15 degrees at the start and last night it got down to -40. The dogs are bred to run in this cold but the snow is very deep, which means that 71 teams are making deep ruts until they spread out over the next 900+ miles. There are lots of veteran mushers racing and contending for the championship. The students picked a musher to follow and you can access their progress on www.iditarod.com. Unfortunately, to see most of the videos, you have to pay to be an "Insider". Mrs. Siegler is a member so she will be showing them during snack each day. There are other sites available like the Anchorage Dispatch News: adn.com. (Outdoor/adventure) <br />
<br />
Back by popular demand...we started the Reading Iditarod on Friday, March 3rd. You should have seen the sheets that were sent home and by signing them you acknowledge knowing your child should be reading and recording 1/2 hr. each school night and 1 hour on the weekend days. The goal is shorter this year due to less checkpoints(just like the real race). In 17 hours your child should finish. We will have the celebration on either the 23rd or the 24th.<br />
<br />
In Math we just completed our unit on addition and subtraction of numbers up to 10,000. Children have several strategies for finding the answers to such problems. Tomorrow we will begin a new unit on fractions and decimals. This a great time for functional skills with recipes, money and time.<br />
<br />
By next week every reading group will have finished reading an Asian book and will be reading a book with a dog theme. We are working hard to see "beyond the text" and understand inferences.<br />
<br />
Our Music Concert is at 6:00p.m. on Wed. March 22nd. Art work will be displayed at this time. We also hope to make two afternoons available for Student Led Curriculum Celebrations that week. Rather than a student led conference, your child will take you to stations, where you will see activities he/she has been doing. A notice with exact times will be forth-coming.<br />
<br />
Mush on,<br />
Cindy & Kelley<br />

This week before vacation is filled with special events, not to mention our Nor'easter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tuesday, Feb. 14th will be Valentine's Day with a special snack and card exchange. On Wednesday, the cafe will serve an Asian meal that we have been involved in preparing. Students in each literature group designed table tents with information from the country featured in their books. Additionally, we will have a presentation about alternative energy from the VEEP folks. Thursday at 2:00, we will exchange our gifts for Winter Wishes. Of course, Friday begins our February vacation. If you have been wondering about February's book talk, it is due March 10th as a (shhhhh...)Valentine's gift. No rushing over the vacation. 😍 </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Yesterday students, who had their planners, were given a pink slip with the name of their Winter Wishes gift recipient. The sheet had specific interests of that person and the guidelines for <u>making</u> that person a gift. This gift is due to school on Monday, February 6th to be distributed on February 9th. Please be sure that the survey with the student's name is attached to the gift so your child will remember the name and grade when it is time to give the gift.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Also, Monday, February 6th is also our make up date for the day at the Monroe's home at Billings' Farm. Your child needs to have boots, shoes, layered warm clothing and a backpack. He/She has offered to bring something to contribute to the soup luncheon of 1800's New England food. Please send it. There will be time for a snack before we leave WES at 9:00a.m. too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks for your support,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cindy and Kelley </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135402279843411185.post-69612890428708621902017-01-27T13:05:00.002-08:002017-01-27T13:05:47.513-08:00Addition, Literary Essays, Asia & EnergyHello from 4th Grade!<br />
<br />
We hope you are all enjoying the wintry mix! We were happy to hear about lots of outdoor activity at home from students including skiing, sledding, snow man building and snowball fights!<br />
<br />
Report cards go out Monday so you should receive them soon after. We are very proud of our 4th graders this past semester and you should be as well. They have shown some great improvements in behavior and are working hard in class to meet their goals. We hope they are feeling good about their progress here as well.<br />
<br />
These past few weeks we began a few new units. In math we started our unit in Addition, Subtraction and the Number System. If you haven't had a chance yet, be sure to check out the <i>Family Letter</i> and <i>Related Activities to Try at Home</i>. These will help you to understand the strategies we use in class and how you can help support your kiddo at home. We have been discussing addition strategies and the 4th graders have made some great discoveries about the difference between subtraction and addition strategies.<br />
<br />
In writing we began our writing about fiction, or literary essay unit. The students each chose a short fiction story to focus on for the quarter. They will be coming up with a thesis about their story and using evidence from the fiction books to support it. It has been very fun to hear the big ideas these students have about their stories and how deep they are thinking about them.<br />

In reading students have been split into literature circle groups. They are reading fiction stories taking place in different Asian countries. We will be teaming up with the Cafe staff to make some dishes from these countries. The students are excited to be able to cook and try something some of their characters in their stories may have eaten. You may notice your child has daily reading and writing assignments in order to prepare for their group. This will help them to begin to gain more responsibility in doing assignments as we approach 5th grade!<br />
<br />
In science students are learning about energy. They have conducted a variety of experiments with motion, including the Rube Goldberg experiment. Currently, they have been doing experiments with electricity and making circuits. Ms. Gauvin and Mrs. Siegler are team teaching this unit.<br />
<br />
Be sure to congratulate your student on their hard work this past semester. Setting a goal for the next term is always a great idea, even if it is just to keep up the good effort. We look forward to the next half of the year with them :)<br />
<br />
Best,<br />

Happy New Year Fourth Grade Parents,<br />
<br />
We were happy to have everyone together again after the long break! We finished our 100 acre plots in cooperative groups and most groups have presented their project to the class. Since these are large pieces of cardboard, it is not easy to send them home and they have shared ownership among 3-4 students. May we suggest that you stop by the class before or after school to see the masterpieces?<br />

With the conclusion of reading the book, <u>Green Mountain Hero</u>, there have been several assessments.<br />
One was on the book, which is historic fiction and the other was on Vermont history, which has been taught in conjunction with it. We will continue our study of life long ago in Vermont all year but next term will will be focusing on a new science unit on Energy. Ms. Gauvin and Mrs. Siegler will be team teaching it. Due to the shortened Fridays, we will be including a science lab first thing on Monday mornings. It will be important to be at school on time to accommodate this switch.<br />
<br />
Our understanding of life on a farm in the 1800's was presented by Stu, from Billings' Farm, last Thursday. He kept the students interested in farm life by having them act out chores, school tasks, etc. with artifacts from their collection. <b>On Tuesday, January 24th we will spend the day visiting the Monroe family at Billings'. </b>Students will assume all of the tasks for the farm, including barn chores, cleaning clothes, and making the lunch. We need a chaperone to join us; more details will be sent home next week. Let us know if you care to join us.<br />

Several weeks before the vacation we started a "behavior chart" with positive tallies for good behavior. Students have enjoyed earning extra P.E. time and now will get rewarded by Ms. Klocek.<br />
Most students have made the connection between his/her own actions and the consequences. Grades close this Friday and report cards will be sent home on the 30th. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Cindy & Kelley<br />

We've had a busy week! Thursday was our field trip to Billings Farm for the annual 4th grade 1890's Christmas Program. The students were split into two groups and did a variety of activities from making candles, cookies and ornaments to learning about primary and secondary sources through old letters to santa.<br />

Today we had the pleasure of visiting the Lebanon Operahouse and seeing <i>Amahl and the Night Visitors</i>. It was wonderful to see a student from our school up on the stage and the students shared that they enjoyed the music and dancing in the play. Be sure to ask your 4th grader what their favorite part of the show was.<br />

We have just 4 days left of school before the holiday break. We will be busy next week continuing to work through our opinion writing unit and geometry unit. Students are learning about the attributes of different shapes and can be encouraged to look for these shapes and angles in things at home. They will also have a chance to use their persuasive writing skills in a letter to santa!<br />
<br />
Next week we will celebrate the holiday on Thursday with fruit kabobs and a Christmas movie. We will also use our Think3d! math skills to make some more holiday cards. Please send in a container of your child's favorite fruit to add to our kabobs.<br />
<br />
Below I've attached some links to some websites for extra math work at home. Some parents requested these. We hope this is helpful!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Happy Holiday Season, Parents,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We hope you have enjoyed the picture posts that give you some insight into the activities of this energetic class. We do try to integrate physical breaks into our academic blocks to give children a chance to release and recharge for the next subject.(See yoga and nerf fencing posts.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After our conferences with you and asking students for suggestions on rewards for good behavior, we settled on an extra 10 mins. of P.E. We keep daily tallies of good behavior and those with a set amount for the week are able to participate. This is helping those, who are frustrated by some of the negative behaviors, to feel acknowledged for cooperating. Of course, having everyone achieve this reward is the hope. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This week will have two events of which you should be aware: a notice went home last Tuesday telling you that we will be celebrating an 1890's Christmas at Billings' Farm from 9:00-1:30 on Thursday, December 15th. We will be walking from school so no permission slip is required but students need to be <u>dressed to be outside</u> and <u>bring a bag lunch</u>. On Friday, we will be going as a school to a performance at the Lebanon Operahouse, called <i>Amahl and the Night Visitors</i>. We will leave by school bus at 9:30 and be returning by 12:30 in time for lunch. For more on this family friendly holiday classic look here: <a href="http://www.operanorth.org/amahl-and-the-night-visitors.html" target="_blank">Amahl and the Night Visitors</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The entire class is still reading<u> Green Mountain Hero</u> in guided reading groups. Many of the children are taking responsibility for their assignments and will bring their books home if they feel they are not prepared for the next meeting. This shows that they are getting ready for fifth grade! Our goal is to finish before Christmas and squeeze in individual leveled testing required by the WCSUVisitors.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our Social Studies unit on Vermont history is taking the shape of 100 acre plots. Small groups of students are working together to show their understanding of what is necessary for survival in the Vermont "grants" in the 1700's. Be aware that artifacts from home will be hot glued to the plot so may not return in the same condition as they were brought.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For acknowledgement of the quickly approaching holidays, we would like to make fruit totem poles like we did for our Potluck last year. Please send chopped fruit or small fruits on Thursday, December 22nd. We prefer that any gifts you wish to give us be donations to the food shelf or supplies for the class. There will be no exchange of gifts for the students. (Look for "Simple Gifts" celebration after the vacation.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Merry Thoughts,</span><br />

We are brainstorming ways to continue fun Fridays in math! You can look forward to some more great holiday cards ;)<br />

You can look forward to seeing your child's Topigraphical Vermont maps. This was a great way for them to understand Vermont geography and the variety of mountain formations.</div>

<br />
Thank you all for coming to our parent teacher conferences this past week. We really enjoyed sharing all of the progress your children have made this past quarter. We appreciate all your feedback and are working hard to make sure our 4th grade classroom is a happy, healthy and safe learning environment for your kiddos.<br />
<br />
We began our new unit in opinion writing last week. Students brainstormed ideas for their topic sentence as well as reasons and evidence to support their ideas. We are using the format below to help structure our writing. Be sure to ask your student about their topic and challenge their reasons!<br />

Today the 4th graders took a break from opinion writing and participated in <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/this-windshield-poet-is-inspiring-others-one-line-at-a-time-808773699858">Windshield Poetry</a>. A movement that began in Colorado Springs and has now been brought to WES. The students wrote small haiku poems that were placed on the windshields of WES employee cars. We hope to do this again and spread the joy and hope around the whole town of Woodstock! See a few examples below :)<br />

Hello Parents,<br />
<br />
We hope you are enjoying a day at home with your children! We are taking the opportunity to get caught up with school communication.<br />
<br />
The Halloween parade was a big success. Everyone seemed to enjoy the festive atmosphere and opportunity to parade through town in costume. See photos for comfirmation:<br />

We had fun sharing our realistic fiction pieces with the second graders. Some of the comments were that the younger student listened carefully, laughed at the funny parts and even related to the episode in the writing piece. It was nice to have such an engaged audience!<br />
<br />
Currently, pairs of children have written articles about the Hulbert Outdoor Center experience. We have figured out how students can each work on the same piece while typing different paragraphs on his/her computer. Pictures from H.O.C. are displayed in the hall. Check them out when you come for your conference next week. (There are still a few of you who have not yet signed up for a conference so please get in touch with us to set up a mutually convenient time.)<br />
<br />
The entire class has started reading the classic fourth grade historic fiction book, <u>Green Mt. Hero.</u><br />
Support and discussion is given in a small group format with daily meetings. We will be gearing up for the creation of our 100 acre plots to show what is needed to live comfortably in the "Grants" in the late 1700's.<br />
<br />
In Math we are still working to make the relationship between division and multiplication clear, as well as, using multiples of 10 to build on our understanding of basic one digit facts. 4 x 6 can help you understand that 40 x 6 = 240. Obviously, if your child is still not comfortable with all of his/her facts this can prove challenging. Think 3-D math continues with fun and creativity every Friday.<br />

We were fortunate to have three sessions using the stream table rented from Ottauquechee Natural Resources Association. Everyone got a hands on experience building culverts and modifying river flow to finally make a plan to save Woodstock from flooding. The table will sadly leave on Monday.<br />
<br />
We will begin topographical mapping this week. We will need 3 five pound bags of white flour and 3 containers of table salt to make our VT maps on this coming Friday. Please let us know if you are willing to send one of these items into school. Thanks.<br />
<br />
Finally, we have a Food Shelf box to fill in our classroom. A note was sent home last week asking for items such as canned beans, tuna, soups, cereal and peanut butter. Please contribute to this worthwhile cause.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<br />
This past week was a huge success with Everybody Engineering. The students created some amazing popsicle towers and worked wonderfully in their groups. It was such a treat to see the different age groups come together listening to each others ideas and problem solving. A big thank you to Marcia Gauvin for organizing another successful year that truly gets the students doing hands-on real-world problem solving.<br />
<br />
Our first two weeks of Think3d! have also been extremely fun for the kids. They have loved working through the origami and doing reverse engineering to teach each other how to create their origami animals. It has been wonderful to see different students excel and help each other out in the process. Their posters will be displayed for you to view at parent-teacher conferences. Here are a few photos of them working on their origami in the first lesson.<br />
<br />
Here are a few updates about the coming week:<br />
<br />
<b>Halloween Parade</b>-Monday October 31st. Students will begin lining up for the parade at 1:30 so parents may come at 1:15 to help students get in their costumes. There will be a costume show following the parade on the playground with apple cider and time for students to play together in their costumes.<br />
<br />
<b>PTO Harvest Hoedown-</b> Friday, November 4th, 5:30-7pm. This event is being put on by the student council and PTO and will include dancing and pizza for families to enjoy. A notice was sent home this past week to pre-order pizza for the event. This will help us get an accurate count for the event. We ask you return them by Tuesday (Wednesday at the latest). Come check out the scarecrows in our front lobby as well :)<br />
<br />
<b>*IMPORTANT*</b> Can you please send in a photo/email a photo of your child in their halloween costume from a years past. This will be used for a halloween-themed writing assessment on Monday October 31st. Sorry for the late notice but I have just come up with the idea and I think it will help them to produce some great realistic fiction stories to end our unit. If you could put the photo in an envelope and tell them not to peek at it yet that would be great. Let me know if you cannot find a photo and I will find one for them to use. Having a photo that they can connect with will be beneficial though. Thanks!<br />
<br />
Don't forget your students monthly book talk forms are due Monday, October 31st. We look forward to hearing about their latest read! We are also looking forward to our Writing Celebration on Tuesday. A big thank you to those of you who have offered to bring cider and muffins to make the event special for the kids.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the rest of your halloween weekend :)<br />
<br />
Best,<br />

<br />
One week from today on October 31st, the October Book Talk is due. Hopefully, you are noticing that this monthly assignment has become less of an ordeal since the format has been the same for all three book talks. If you notice that your child has written it with a pen or has scribbled out parts, please have him/her rewrite it neatly. We are happy that everyone seems excited about the books he/she has read but the sentences have to be legible too.<br />
<br />
This week is Everybody Engineering Week each day from 8:15 - 10:15a.m. The entire school switches rooms for vertical grouping to design and build the tallest building from 1,000 popsicle<br />
sticks. It is important that everyone be here on time!<br />
<br />
Grades are closing this week, which means that both of us are consumed with grading and meetings. The report cards will be sent home on Nov. 10th and individual parent conferences will be scheduled for the week of November 14 - 18th. Look for a sign up soon.<br />
<br />
The Halloween Parade is on Monday, Oct. 31st. If your child needs assistance with his/her costume you may come in to help at 1:15. The parade is scheduled for 1:30. There will be extra hands if you are not available at that time.<br />
<br />
Lastly, the Family Hoedown PTO dance is on Friday, November 4th from 5:30-7:00pm. See more details in the WES Newsletter. We hope to see you there!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

The 4th graders had an amazing time at H.O.C. this past week. They worked so well together in their teams and overcame some amazing challenges and goals. We had two fabulous core group leaders and our chaperones were a great addition to our team. A big thank you to David Steele for joining us! We were so lucky to have him. The kids enjoyed challenges within their core groups, team building games and a hike which included learning about native Vermont trees. The ropes course was a favorite of many students with a zip-line and many challenging climbs. Recreation time each day gave students a chance to explore the castle, troll house and play with their classmates. We ended each day with songs and stories before bed and our last evening included a night journey with a blind-folded walk, games to understand eco-location and winter mints that glow in the dark when you bite into them. These 3 days were packed full of fun, interactive activities that we incredibly engaging and I think each student learned so much. We feel so fortunate to have this tradition passed on for students to experience each year. Thank you for all of your help fundraising with you 4th graders this summer. All the hard work and preparation really paid off! Here are a few photos and there will be many more to come!<br>

In math we have just begun our new unit, Multiple Towers and Division Stories. We spent a few classes finding all the way to break a large array into smaller arrays using our array cards. This was a great activity to help students understand the distributive property and how using smaller known combinations can help to solve bigger problems. For example 14 x 8 can be split into (10 x 8) + (4 x 8) this will be an important strategy for students to utilize and understand as their multiplication and division problems become more difficult. Below I've attached the "multiplication tree" we created as a class for 7 x 8. You can also refer to the family letter for Unit 3 (which I linked in a previous post) to learn more about this unit.<br>

In writing we are nearing the end of our realistic fiction unit. After reading through the students stories this past weekend, I see so much growth from the beginning of the year. Students are using figurative language, dialogue, elaborating on the details in their story and showing versus telling. They have chosen really powerful problems and solutions for their stories and this makes them more interesting and relatable. Students are beginning to type their stories while practicing their typing skills and building on what they already have. We have been working on editing these stories through different lenses. The following chart shows the different perspectives they can read and edit their stories with. For example, the "Cardboard Character Lense" challenges students to make sure they are bringing their characters to life and creating a picture in their readers mind. Check out the chart I've attached below and ask your child to explain some of the other lenses!<br>

<br />
<br />
Hello Parents,<br />
<br />
We would like to remind you that packing for H.O.C. should not be left to the last minute! Over this three day weekend, please locate rain gear, a warm hat, gloves and extra shoes or boots. Pack a toiletries kit with a towel. Keep in mind, that any medication has to be given to Mrs. Sudol in the original container to be administered by either Miss Willis or Mrs. Siegler in a private setting. Talk to your child about a comfort toy, book, picture or pillow. NO food or electronics of any kind should be packed. All clothing, water bottles, backpack, etc. needs to have a name on it. Backpacks are necessary for carrying gear for the group hike and the ropes' course. Please use a stuff sack or a bungee cord to keep sleeping bags from unraveling. Double check the list sent home on the yellow sheet of paper, please.<br />
<br />
It has been an interesting two weeks with lots of different events. The trip to ECHO was wonderful and we were thankful to Joanie Steele, Erin Runstein and Kim Lackley for chaperoning.<br />
We were proud of the student's knowledge of rocks and minerals, which helped them gain understanding from the Lake Champlain geology program. Additionally, we have visited Sculpture Fest, where students answered scavenger hunt questions as they observed the creative sculptures.<br />
Today we are writing about fall by sitting outside on Mt. Peg with our notebooks and using our senses.<br />
<br />
In some Reading groups we are reading non-fiction books about Mt. St. Helens to connect with<br />
geology. Ada's grandparents sent rocks from Oregon to give us a real connection to the event.<br />
Additionally, students are presenting their September Book Talks. They are showing improvement from the August ones. The sheet for the October Book Talk was sent home and is due on Oct.31st.<br />
<br />
Scholastic News student magazines are distributed on Mondays, when we watch a short video on the cover story and read the main article together. After that, they are sent home to be read and completed by Friday. This week several were not handed in. This is an expected assignment in Social Studies and counts toward the 20 minutes of Reading expected for homework each night. If your child needs more reading support and you cannot give it to him/her, we can make arrangements in school to help. Just let us know.<br />
<br />
Have a nice three day weekend,<br />
Cindy & Kelley<br />
