Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! I will be teaching your child ELA (reading, grammar, spelling, writing). I will try to follow the homework helpline assignments as best I can. As always, there may be some unforeseeable events. Please keep in mind we need to have an open line of communication for you the student/parent to have a great year.

December 13, 2018 thru end of the year

The next few days are going to be super busy.  Parents and students need to talk to each other to see what is going on in school.

1st let's look at academics for periods 1 & 2.
Spelling:  Pretest Monday U2W5 So You Want to be President, 3x each due Tuesday, 10 sentences due Wednesday, test Thursday.
Grammar: Test Wednesday on plural nouns.  We have covered this topic in spelling a few weeks ago.  Add -s or -es to a regular singular noun to make it plural.
Reading:  Test Tuesday on What Jo Did.  Study vocabulary and cause/effect strategies.  We will start Look, Back, and Write on Tuesday and finish on Wednesday if necessary.

Academics for period 3.
Spelling:  Pretest Monday Animal Mimics list.  Students got a list today, and the word list is on page 287 in their "new" reading book.  3x each is due Tuesday and final test is Thursday.  This list is challenging!  Do not wait until the last minute.
Reading:  We will be reading Animal Mimics in class, using context clues to find the meanings of the vocabulary words.
Grammar:  We will be discussing complex sentences (independent and dependent sentences).
Test for reading and grammar will be at the start of the new year.

Busy, busy!
Friday December 14:  4th grade is going to the symphony.  Students MUST wear dress code bottoms.  They may wear a Spartan shirt or a holiday shirt for a $1.00 or they can wear a dress code top for free.

Monday and Tuesday we will have a guest speaker each day.  The guest speakers are helping the students build their career readiness portfolios. 

Wednesday we will be going over to the high school auditorium to listen to the holiday music sounds performed by the high school band and chorus.  Lunch will be later, so please be sure your child eats a hearty breakfast.

Thursday 2 students from each homeroom have been selected to have lunch with the principals and teachers.  Students will be treated to outside pizza, salad, snacks, and beverages.  In my homeroom, the students are John and Je'Nyce.

Friday is a half day, with dismissal at 12.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Herring

I don't know where to begin.  I can't believe the news that was announced today by Governor Wolfe that school will not be conducted in the building for the remainder of the school year.  March 13 was our last day in the classroom, but we will remain a class, now just online! I want to hear from all of you as much as you can, but make sure you have permission.  I am planning on putting together a Google Meet meeting with all of my homeroom students.  I will send out invitations on your gapp email.  Please watch for it and accept my invitation.  It will be very informal; just a meet and greet where you can share whatever you'd like.  If you have something you have made while we have been out of the classroom, and you'd like to share it with your classmates, go for it! I am not 100% sure on how to "get around" Google, so please be patient with me.  If you log on to my classroom and you see Mrs. Laudeman's name next to an assignment, click on it.  We are w
Parents and students, This is not to create hysteria.  We are taking precautionary measures.  There is information on the NS page on Facebook, not that we should believe all social media, but this is a more reliable source. As of now, the following elementary events have been cancelled: Title I Family Night- March 24th Spring Pictures-March 24th Achieve Family Night-March 25th STEM Saturday-March 28th NS Spring Meet the Spartans scheduled for March 19th has been cancelled. Also, the Easter Eggstravaganza scheduled for March 28th has been cancelled. As more information becomes available to be shared, I will try to update you on here. Naturally, you want to keep up with your child's academics, so please review math facts, review grammar skills already learned, and keep on reading.  Read anything and everything and talk about it please. Have a great day! Mrs. Herring

Good morning!  I though I would add a little color to add cheer to everyone's day! I MISS all of you a great deal!  I wish we could have said more good byes Friday when we were leaving, but at that point, we thought we would be back and ready to fill the classroom again in 2 weeks.  Please keep in touch with each other and reach out to those of your classmates you may not have heard from.  Let's try to get in touch with everyone of our homeroom classmates. 4th grade teachers, and NSSD, are working on a wonderful plan to keep all of your brains as sharp as tacks (idiom, simile).  Please be sure to check back on Monday March 30, 2020 for some exciting information!  Remember we are working as a team.  We may make mistakes, but that's okay because mistakes help us learn. Students (and parents), if you want to say hello or share with me how you are doing or what you are doing, or you have questions about what is going on, you can certainly send me an email kherring@northsc
