Good Morning,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend playing in the snow. In math this week, we are continuing with division with large quotients. I am also challenging some of the students with double digiit divisors. Also, we will be learning about measurement, length, weight, and capacity. Students are being asked to bring in empty and clean containers of gallon,, pint,, quart, and cups. Also, any other measuring tools. They are also going to be bringing in a simple recipe that shows the ingredients and how much. is needed for the recipe. In religion, chapter 8 focuses on God's fairness and justice. The test will be on Friday, the 27th.
Have a good week.

Hi everyone,
No I am not blogging about a snow day, although the kids would love one.

We are studying chapter seven in religion, the Beatitudes. The test is next Wed.on the 18th. The students have either made posters, bumperstickers, or comics explaining these.
We are also discussing Martin Luther King Jr. and his contributions to our world.
In math, we finished multiplication with the chapter six test and are beginning chapter seven, division. It is mandatory that the math facts are mastered. Our next concept will be fractions and measurement.
Have a great weekend.

Happy New Year,
I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday. It sounded like all of the students enjoyed all of their presents and holiday activities. We are writing a thank you note, so I have asked each student to bring in a stamped envelope and also the address of the person they are writing to. We will address these in class.
We are finishing up multiplication on Wednesday, Jan.11th with the chapter six test. I will begin long division and capacity next week.

Have a great weekend.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful presents and the class gift. I appreciate your thoghtfulness. Also, what would a Christmas party be without all the treats, the kids loved them so thank you.
Have a beautiful Christmas and a wonderful holiday break.
Mrs. Sullivan

Christmas is definitely in the air. We are in the middle of presenting Christmas Around the World and are learning so much about other countries and their traditions. We are very excited about the trip to the museum next Tuesday to find all of the Christmas trees we learned about. We continue to pray our Advent prayers. Hopefully, your child's Advent wreath is in a spot for added family prayers.
There will be a chapter three math test on Friday, which focuses on addition, subtraction, and word problems. We are almost finished with chapter six but I will wait until after the holiday for that test.
The students are invited to wear their pj's to school this Friday.
Have a great week.

We have had a busy week preparing for tomorrow's mass. Ms. Chermack has worked very hard praticing in the classroom and in church. My homeroom, 210, does not have an active part, but has done some beautiful art work which will be displayed in the hallway outside of church. The project Christmas Around the World is going just fine. At The posters look wonderful and the paper is getting written.
Tomorrrow we will finish the chapter 6 A math quiz that we started today. Please continue to have your child practice the basic facts. We will be working on division and fractions soon.
A note and permission slip went home today regarding the field trip. Please sign and return by Tuesday. Also, each student should bring in an empty soap box by Monday for a project we are working on.
Thank you,
Mrs. Sullivan

I can't bellieve it is December already. This month is going to fly. I just wanted you to be aware of a few more events going on in fourth grade.
Mrs. Maxwell and I are working on a Christmas Around the World project. All of the work will be completed in school, the research, the writtten paper, and the poster. The onlyl thing I ask is that the poster board be brought in on Monday, Dec. 5th. We will work on it in school.
Also, the fourth graders will be participating in the mass on Thursday, December 8th, the Immaculate Conception. I believe it will be at 10:00.
Have a good weekend.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had time to enjoy the long weekend. I also am hoping that your child had a chance to show you the project that we made in religion. After our saints project. we followed that same theme and the students chose someone in their life who is a role model to them. I hope that they gave the project to that particular person. There is a chapter six test in religion on Thursday. Thank you for allowing your child to "show and tell" us about some of their Baptismal items.
In math, I am taking a few minutes a day to review basic addition and subtraction, and our focus is also on two digit times two digit multiplication.
Sunday marked the beginning of Advent, and today the students are taking home the Advent wreath we made in class. There is adifferent prayer attached for each of the four weeks. I have encouraged all of them to pray together each day as a family as we prepare for the birth of Jesus.
Also, just a reminder, there will be no school on Friday, Dec. 2nd.
Have a great week.
Mrs. Sullivan

Happy Veteran's Day,

Thank you all for the Halloween treats. The kids really enjoyed the party. Today is the last day of the trimester. I do not know where the time has gone. Report cards will go home next Friday. Conference slips will be sent home on Monday.

In math, we are finishing up chapter five also, and the test is on Thursday. We are also working on division.

Thank you for all the supplies being sent in for our soldiers. The fourth and eigth graders are in charge of the project and are doing a great job of encouraging the school.

Happy Monday,
I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weekend. I just wanted to add that our Halloween party will be on Monday the 31st. If you want to send treats, there are 22 students in our homeroom. We will still have gym in the afternoon, so please keep that in mind when deciding on a costume for your child to wear to school. Yes, the whole school can be in costume this year. Students are asked to bring in $1, $2 or $3 to be donated and split between three different charities.
In addition to the chapter four Religion test on Nov. 3, there will be a chapter two Math test on Wed. Nov.2nd. Please continue practicing multiplication at home.
In keeping with the three C's school theme, the fourth grade, starting with homeroom 210, will be pairing up with the eigth grade homerooms for prayer partners. Compassion is what we will focus on. Tomorrow, we will be painting pumpkins pink for breast cancer awareness and they will be displayed around the school. If you have any pink or white decorations at home, please send them in. In November, we will focus on our Veterans.
Have a great week.
