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.

These last few weeks have been a whirlwind!

There were concerns regarding the last progress report.  Please keep in mind the students and staff were busy preparing and completing the PSSAs, so there weren't many grades to be included.  We are working very hard to make up for missed time.

All periods are now back to the original reading book.  We will all be finishing up with the same stories, grammar and reading lessons.

There is a spelling test tomorrow on U4W5 list words.

There is a grammar test scheduled for next Tuesday.  The lesson is on irregular verb tenses.  Students have at least 6 worksheets in their red reading folders they can use to study from.

There is going to be a reading test next week also.  The story is Paul Bunyan.  We have started the vocabulary words this week and have talked about generalizations in the past and again.  All students have been asked to locate sentences from the story that show this is a tall tale.

In addition to academics, there are a lot of activities in the month of May.
May 10 Field trip lunch slips are due
May 13 All day 4th grade band rehearsal.  No electronic devices are permitted.  May wear gym clothes.
May 13 We will be walking around the stadium track for the American Lung Association Healthy Lungs Walk.  Students will walk for 1 hour to build their lungs.  If you would like to make a donation to the lung association, please send that in with your child.  There will be a short recap/presentation the following week.  Students may wear gym clothes.
May 14 4th grade field trip permission slips are due.
May 15 All day 4th grade chorus rehearsal.  No electronic devices are permitted.  Only chorus students may wear gym clothes.

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
