Parents,
This is a reminder that students do not have to wear their school uniforms on the last day of school tomorrow.
It is game day so students can bring a board or card game to play with friends.
We are also having a party so feel free to bring in something if you would like.
Have a great summer.

Daily Update 6/6
Good afternoon! There is no math homework for tonight...or for the rest of 4th grade! We are still working with problem solving this week, but we know that students have one foot into summer vacation already :-)
We still need a few volunteers for Monday afternoon's games. If you're free from about 12:30--2:00, please let us know. We also welcome any and all party food contributions for Tuesday afternoon. Thanks!
Have a wonderful evening!

Update 6/2/2016
Parents,
There is no math homework tonight. We decided against it since tomorrow is the Eagle Run with festivities all day.
A notice went home today reminding students what to bring. They must wear sneakers or closed toed shoes. No flip flops or slides. Students may wear a bathing suit under their clothes. They should use sunscreen, if needed. They must bring a change of clothes consisting of: dry socks, extra pair of shoes, underwear, shorts, and a shirt. They should bring a plastic bag for their wet clothes. They should have their name on the tag on their towel.
The Eagle Run is from 9:00 - 11:20
Heroes' Family Picnic is from 12:15 - 1:00
Dancing with the DJ is from 1:00 - 2:00
We have also made plans for the last two days of school. We sent a notice home today about it. We could use parent volunteers from 12:30 - 2:00 on Monday, June 13th to supervise some "Minute to Win It" stations. The note that went home said 1:00 to 2:30 but we made a mistake.
We will have a party on Tuesday, June 14th and if you would like to contribute snacks like cookies, chips, etc. that would be great.
Thanks and have a great night.

Daily Update 5/31
Hi Parents,
Our focus in math for the remainder of the year will be problem solving. Today's lesson required students to use their knowledge of area to decide how to divide a large sheet of paper into equal 25 squares with the least amount wasted. We saw some really great thinking! Tonight's homework is a worksheet that reinforces the formulas for finding area and perimeter.
In Language Arts, we are in the home stretch of finishing our 5 paragraph reports. All students should be in the publishing phase of the writing process. Reports are due by Friday. Please ask your child if he/she is on-schedule with this assignment. Students have been encouraged to work at home, if necessary.
We have completed Science for the year and have switched over to Social Studies for the remainder of the year. Our focus is regional economies and how they are affected by the available natural resources. We will be working on this topic this week and next.
Finally, please don't forget the Eagle's Run on Friday. Students may wear bathing suits under their clothes, and they MUST wear appropriate footwear--no flipflops or shoes with buckles. Please also send in a complete change of dry clothes, and don't forget to pack your child a lunch unless you ordered one from the cafeteria. The cafeteria WILL NOT be serving at all that day, so there will be no recourse if students do not have a lunch. The picnic will be at 12:15. Parents are welcome to join us for some or all of the festivities!
Have a great evening, and please let us know if you have any questions.

Update 5/26/2016
Parents,
Due to having the students take the Math End of Year Assessment today, we did not give the students homework today.
If you did not hand in your Eagles Fun and Fitness Day Picnic form, please do so tomorrow.
Tomorrow Camp Lejeune District Schools will be sending home the Terra Nova results explaining how your child did on this assessment that we took back in March.
Thank you and have a great night.

Daily Update 5/23
Hi Parents!
This week is going to be all about EOY testing, so our normal routines are a bit disrupted. Today, students began taking their Reading EOY test, and some of them have already input their answers into the online program for a score. Students who haven't yet finished the testing will do so tomorrow. Wednesday will include our final SRI test, and then, on Thursday and Friday, we will complete our Math EOY.
In light of all that, students will NOT have a blog entry this week, since there will not be time to work in class. Math homework tonight, Tuesday night, and Wednesday night will include math review problems. Please work through these with your child to help him/her earn the best possible score on Thursday's test. For your convenience, here's an online link to the review problems document:
Math Review Problems
Also, students SHOULD have brought home a form allowing you to order lunch for your child and/or family on the day of our Eagle's Run Event. Unfortunately, things got super hectic in Mrs. Thompson's class at the end of the day, and she completely forgot to pass them out (sorry!). Hard copies of the form will go home tomorrow, but if you have a printer and would like to print one in the meantime, here's a link: HES Eagle's Run Lunch Form
Thanks so much for your support! Have a great evening!
