Email Issues

If you have attempted to reach me by email within the last few days, there is a strong possibility that I have not received your email if you are email. We are experiencing problems with our server and some emails are not being delivered or received as they should be. We have been assured that this should be resolved within the next couple of days. In the meantime, if you have attempted to email me and did not receive a response, but contact me by phone or send a note with your child.

Persuasive Techniques

As we embark on a new writing adventure, the fourth graders are developing a better understanding of how advertisers use persuasive techniques in advertising and written text. Today we used the iPads to explore a PBS website that the kids really enjoyed however some of the activities were not compatible with the iPad. I promised to get this website to them so here you go!

PodCasts of Realistic Fiction Published Work

I have enjoyed meeting with many parents so far and looking forward the last few remaining conferences today. I promised the kiddos that I would post a blog update with links to their stories so they can listen to them at home. I hope you enjoyed listening to their work as they are proud to call themselves AUTHORS!

Everyday Math Online

This year, we have an exciting new addition to our math program that helps link home and school learning. Your child now has direct access to tools we are using in the classroom as well as interactive online games. Each student has been assigned a user name and password that you will receive during your parent teacher conference. You can access the website www.everydaymathonline.com and after entering your child's information, you will have access. It will open up to unit 1 lesson 1, but you can change the settings to unit 4 which is our next unit. Please visit the site once a week if possible and prompt them to practice the skills we are learning in class. Thank you for your support and please let me know if you have any problem accessing your child's account. Thanks!

Art Museum

Today was a great day! We enjoyed the pleasant weather today at the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum. I was with only half of the class so unfortunately I do not have pictures of everyone this time around. Enjoy!
