Welcome
back, and Happy New Year! I hope you had a relaxing holiday, and excited for
the new year ahead. I love this time of year at school, we are well into our
routines and I find the most academic growth happens in the next four months. In
Science we are beginning a unit on simple machines and are starting to think
out our Science Fair projects (don’t worry, we will be completing these in
class!) This week’s spelling words are
fourth grade sight words, which are words that fourth graders are expected to
be able to read and spell with 100% accuracy, though they are typically
misspelled by many. Please practice these words at home as well. Let’s have
a great week!
