Here We Go Again!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a chance to enjoy time with family. It is nice to take a step away from school and rest up for a spectacular second semester. We will continue to work hard every day and take full advantage of the time spent here at Rising Star.

Today you will see a note coming home regarding our Kansas Day Celebration.  We conclude our Kansas unit by enjoying a full day celebration, which will be Friday, January 27th. Part of this celebration is a feast put together by the parents. The form coming home will have foods that parents have volunteered to bring in past years. I kindly ask you to sign up for an item you can bring in on that Friday. With everyone's help it will be a fantastic event for the 4th graders to enjoy.

On to this short week of school:

• Spelling- the list will be over the spelling of the 12 Midwest states
• Reading- start Emily's Hands-On Science Experiment
• L. Arts- start Adjectives
• Science- start Electricity & Magnet chapter
• S.S.- Continue Kansas PowerPoint work      
• Missouri book due Friday
• Math- continue with Topic 19 (congruent, symmetry, rotational symmetry)  
• Weekly Review 18 due Friday

Like always if you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for all the hard work that you do!
