Tomorrow we will have a science quiz over renewable and nonrenewable resources in all fourth grade classes!
Words to Know:
Nonrenewable Resource- a resource that, once exhausted, cannot be replaced in a short amount of time.
Examples: Metals, Minerals, and Fossil Fuels such as Coal, Oil, and natural gas.
Renewable Resource- a resource that cannot easily be exhausted because it is rapidly replaced by nature.
Examples: Plants, Animals, Water, Air
Conservation- to protect resources and avoid wasteful and destructive use.

Week of March 23-27
Good morning!
This week...
There will be no vocabulary until after the Real STAAR test. We will be working on going over any TEKS we struggled with on the Practice test in small groups until then.
Mrs. Beth Brantley and Mrs. Tammy Dean are coming into each of my classes for thirty minutes a day to assist with this task in order that we can more specifically gear review and practice towards each individual child's needs! I am very optimistic that this will benefit us greatly towards the STAAR!
The good news is that I have been able to identify the areas of struggle for each student as far as the curriculum goes through the practice test we took. Now we are able to spend time targeting these areas specifically.
Some students do not require individual TEKS tutorials due to scoring very well on the practice. These students will be challenged with a novel reading project which will hold them accountable for continuing to build and sharpen their reading skills so that they are not being left out of the improvement plan.
I am very encouraged by the results of our exam which are now posted on Gradebook. We still have time for everyone to improve!
There will be no homework other than for students to practice reading this week in my class. Next week I will send home a couple of practice passages for homework for your child to work on with you.
Thank you so much for all you do!

Week of March 2-6
Good morning!
We have A LOT going on this week!
Today we will be reviewing for our Practice Reading STAAR test that will be given on Wednesday.
Students are allowed to bring snacks tomorrow for the practice MATH STAAR and Wednesday for the practice reading. ONLY healthy snacks will be allowed: crackers, nuts, water, etc. Students who bring soda, candy, or chips will not be allowed to eat them during the test.
We will be testing over the suffix -ible and -able words that students received last Thursday this coming Thursday.
OEY WILL take place Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week for students who attend.
Friday is an EARLY RELEASE day for SPRING BREAK!
Please make sure tonight and tomorrow night students are well rested and that they have a good breakfast the morning of the tests. These benchmarks will tell us where we are at and how far we have to go as far as testing is concerned.
Thank you for ALL that you do!! :)
