Striving for Excellence: No Exceptions, No Excuses
Today we began Unit 11: Electricity and Magnetism. Since our Science Fair is Thursday and Friday, we will be losing a couple of days of E&M instruction; therefore, our test will not be next Friday, but will be moved into the next week. Date to be announced. WE WILL however, have a vocabulary quiz on Friday over the E&M words. NOTE: the vocabulary word list has a typing error. Closed circuit should say "A circuit without gaps and WILL light up."
This blog is designed for the fourth grade students and parents in mind.

February has arrived...Puxatony Phil says 6 more weeks of winter!
If the winter weather is like today (61 degrees) , I will take six more weeks of it! I wanted to update you as to what we are doing and what is coming up!
First, I want to welcome student teacher Patricia Harris. She will be with us until the first of March.
Secondly, I want to share with you regarding upcoming assessments. We have begun discussing and reviewing next week's words from Unit 9: Forces. The vocabulary quiz will be on Friday, February 10th. You never know a practice quiz might pop up anytime! Our Unit Assessment is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, February 16th. As soon as I get a study guide pulled together, I will get it out to your child. They should study nightly in order to be prepared for the test and REMIND them to look on the board for test dates.
Lastly, I want to let you know about our upcoming SCIENCE FAIR! We have been talking about this for the past several days. Your child has a SCIENCE FAIR PACKET, along with an entry form, that is due on Monday, February 6th. Please discuss this with them. I will not allow demonstrations. The entry must be in the form of a question that your child can investigate and must have variables, i.e. test three different things. Once you look over the packet if you have questions, feel free to call or email me.
In closing, students must bring a science fair project to school on Thursday, February 23rd. This project will count for two science grades. Judging will be on Friday, February 24th. Students need to bring their projects home on Friday afternoon. Thanks so much for your help and support!
