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.

Week of December 3, 2018

This week is a busy week.  We had all day 4th grade chorus today.  Chorus and band concerts are this Saturday!  Good luck to all of the students who are involved.

Spelling:  Period 1 & 2 is on Unit 2 Week 4 Horse Heroes.  Pretest will be tomorrow, 3x each is due Wednesday, 10 sentences are due Thursday (I am no longer providing lined, number paper), test Friday.
                  Period 3 has a pretest Thursday on list 2.  Words will come home Wednesday.

Grammar:  Period 1 & 2 test Wednesday on common and proper nouns.  Common noun is any person, place or thing.  Proper noun is a specific person, place, or thing (North Schuylkill, Mrs. Herring, Dunkin Donuts).             
                     Period 3 You will see your grammar (compound sentences) included in your reading test.

Reading:  Period 1 & 2 we will be starting What Jo Did tomorrow.  Test will follow next week.
                  Period 3 we have finished Feathers in our new reading book.  Please review main idea/supporting details as well as the vocabulary that's in your notebook, folder, and reading book.  We will take a reading test on Wednesday.

ALL PERIODS have been working on a persuasive planner writing which is to be an elf in Santa's workshop.  We have started this in class, some kids worked on it today if they didn't go to chorus.  The rest will be working on it throughout the week.  The rubric coming home with their grade will say Persuasive.

Next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we will be doing our 2nd set of CDT tests.  Please try to have your children to school on time so they have adequate time to finish.

On Friday December 14, 4th grade will be traveling to the Pottsville Area High School to listen to the youth symphony.  Students MUST have their permission slips in in order to go.  We do NOT use chaperones for this school trip.  It is a school wide dress down day (Spartan top, jeans or sweats).

Christmas break starts on Friday December 21st and will resume classes on January 2nd.

There are a few students that did not return party money.  Our next party is Valentine's Day.  Please return your money as soon as you are able.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Herring

Miss Brobst's class has a grammar worksheet for homework.  It is reinforcing imperative and exclamatory sentences to prepare for Wednesday's test. Mrs. Herring's class has a scavenger hunt for Lewis, Clark & Me.  Answers can be found in the story.  The backside has vocabulary to be used as a review for Thursday's test. AR goals were stapled in your child's assignment book.  October goals are 5 points or higher.  Goals need to be met by October 30th. October 27 is the Halloween party.  Please send $5.00 in for party supplies. Have a great week! Mrs. Herring

Back to School Week!!! August 29, 2016

WELCOME BACK!! Where has the time gone from the end of 3rd grade to the start of 4th grade? Today was a great day!  We will be building confidence, communication skills and relationships with the fellow classmates. This week we will be "getting to know" each other through multiple activities, reviewing policies and procedures and expectations.  I will also be administering DIBELS and DAZE tests to see how the students comprehend and use vocabulary skills. Parents, please return the paperwork that was sent home at Meet the Teacher or with your child today if you missed Meet the Teacher.  I would like papers back by September 7th.  Book orders will be going home on Friday with your child in their Friday folder. They are due back by September 9th.  The more books the students order, the more classroom books we can earn for free.  There is online ordering available as well.   I am looking forward to a great year! Have a great week, Mrs. Herring...
