Hello Families,

We hope you all enjoyed the festivities last week in celebration of our 80th Anniversary. The kids had an awesome time showing off their school spirit at the pep rally on Friday. The fourth graders even showed off their amazing lnowledge of our school by taking first place in the SFX trivia game - way to go Reid Hassett and Audrey Frevola!

The fun continues this week with the school auction, White Party, on Saturday, October 1st. We hope to see you there !

Please know that this Wednesday, September 28th at 10:30 in Brophy Chapel, the fourth graders are leading Mass. 4A will be singing and 4B will be leading us in the readings.

English Language Arts



There is no spelling test on Thursday! 

There will be a comprehension test on Thursday, September 29th. 

BOOK PROJECTS ARE DUE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH 

Last week, we began working on a new program called eSpark. eSpark is a program designed to meet the learner where they are at. eSpark is innovative, creative, and fun for the kids as it involves apps for the students to play on that are specific to the skill they are currently on. As the students work through each skill, also known as a quest, it will prompt them to record a video to show off their newly learned skill. This program was a big hit last week!

Social Studies 

This week, we will wrap up the last region and move into learning the abbreviations. In the coming weeks, students will be tested on the entire United States. Can they correctly identify and spell out each state? Do they know the state's abbreviation? Please help your child study as this test will be worth 100 points. There is a fun song that we are learning in class to help us memorize the 50 states in alphabetical order.  

FRIDAY is the Southeast Region quiz! 

Math 

The students will work on solving multi-step word problems with whole numbers. They will fluently add and subtract large numbers using the standard algorithm.

Science

We will be working on classifying living things. The students will learn the six kingdoms and how organisms are grouped within a kingdom. 

Religion 

Our theme this week is decision making, which begins Wednesday for all fourth graders. We will discussing using our free will. The prayer we are focusing on this week is the Act of Hope.
