hello fourth grade families,Hello and happy October! We hope you're doing well. The fourth-grade teachers want to say thanks for another great week of classes. Learning is in full swing! Students are working on their Severe Weather essays, and you can find the writing printouts in the Weekly Printouts tab, along with materials for other subjects. We will be writing the same essay until November to show students how to successfully write a FAST style essay. We're keeping a close eye on class attendance. If your child can't make it to a class, please let their teacher know and fill out the absence form with a note if they are missing the whole day of class and not logging into OLS. That form is found in the Important Links @DAOF tab. Students have taken many quizzes in each subject thus far. To check their grades, log into OLS and click on Courses. If you see any grades below 'C,' click on the course to find unmastered quizzes and overdue assignments. Let your teacher know if you need extra attempts on unmastered quizzes. Every Thursday, teachers hold Panther Power Up sessions where students can get extra help. If your child has one of these sessions on their schedule, please make sure they attend and are ready to ask questions and participate. This week we will be finishing FAST testing. If you see a makeup FAST test class on your plan, please be sure to attend that class. New students starting on 9/18 will receive their IXL logins this week! New students starting on 9/25, your IXL login's are coming soon! Thanks for being an integral part of our students' education!
