We have a few tests coming up that I wanted to let you know about. Our first test is in Math. We will have our UNIT 2 Test next Tuesday, October 15. The unit has been all about data and reading line plot graphs. We have been working on a study guide this week that includes vocabulary and problems to practice. Please start studying with your kids. Our second test is for Social Studies. This test will be on Thursday, October 17. We are working on our study guide in class this week. The test comes directly from the study guide and vocabulary. Students should start studying for this test soon. Both Math and Social Studies study guides should be in your child's homework folder and will get turned in the day of the test. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!!

What's Happening in Music Class

What’s Happening in Music Class!
September Letter to Parents-
In the month of September, we got a chance to learn lots about music, and play with all kinds of
instruments along the way! First, we got to learn the difference between beat and rhythm and
makeup rhythms of our own! The students were able to choose their own instruments and
perform their rhythms for the class. We then learned about musical dynamics, such as “piano”,
“forte”, and other terms like “crescendo” and “decrescendo.” We learned these terms by
playing a “Simon Says” type of game and moving around the classroom to the specific dynamic
played. Younger students were taught notes; quarter note, eighth note, double eighth note,
and quarter rests. Older kids were taught the notes I mentioned, and half notes, whole notes
and how to write these notes on a musical staff!
It has been so fun to see these students perform and get the chance to play some instruments
for the first time!
For the upcoming months leading to December, students will be learning singing techniques
and preparing for the very exciting Carols, Cookies, and Coco performance.
- Rachel Kraft

Math Enrichment

I am so proud of how the students are working so hard in math class. The first test is always intimidating. If you feel your child is struggling, here are some great resources:

www.coolmathgames.com 

 You can look up different games to practice skills.

www.commoncoresheets.com   For this site you look up the grade and what you want to practice. You can print the worksheets or look at it and complete it off you computer/device.

It has the workbook (you can print homework if your child lost theirs:), games, and you can access test scores. Please remember that we add points for their work that they show and for the definitions, so the score listed is NOT their final grade. The first test is always hard, so do not worry! If your child is participating and turning in their work each day, this will carry them a long way!!!

WELCOME TO 4th GRADE!!!

Welcome Families! I'm Mrs. Pitts, and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! We are going to have so much fun learning! This blog is where you can find weekly homework, updates, links to the school website, Khan Academy, Accelerated Reader and much more. I am hoping that you check out our site frequently to see what is happening in our classroom.

A little bit about me. My name is Monica Pitts. I live in Aptos with my husband Matthew. We have 3 daughters. Our twins are Madelyn and Emma. They are 7 years old and will be in 2nd grade at TLCS this year. Our youngest daughter is Evelyn who is 4 years old and attends CEC preschool on campus. This will be my third year teaching at Twin Lakes but my 15th year in the teaching profession. I enjoy doing art, sports, being outside and spending time with my family. I love to read Harry Potter and be creative. I absolutely LOVE being a teacher. I am so blessed to teach in our fabulous building with such a supportive staff/family.

My partner teacher, Mrs. Besk and I work really closely together to make learning fun for our students and our teaching as consistent as possible. We will start the year by reading the book, "Wonder" to our classes. We are inviting you to choose kind with us as one of our 4th-grade themes. We will focus on this theme throughout the year.

I hope to see you at, "Meet the Teacher," on Tuesday, August 20th. Classroom Visitation and New Parent orientation from 1-2:30, Ice Cream Social from 2:30-3:00. I will be waiting to meet you on the top floor of our building in our classroom!!

Love,

Mrs. Pitts

Reminders...

Testing this week...We are taking our Spelling, Reading and Memory verse tests early this week due to our ALL DAY field trip on Friday. We will take ALL of our weekly tests on THURSDAY, March 28th.

Spring Concert this Thursday, March 28th- Please arrive no later than 6:20 in the Main Auditorium. Hope to see you all there.

Pinnacles field trip this Friday, March 29th- Be on time for school. We will be leaving at 8:30 from our line up spot, outside. Dress in layers and comfortable walking/hiking shoes. Bring a lunch and water bottle. Wear sunscreen or bring a hat. You may also want to bring a headlamp or small, pocket flashlight for walking through the caves. It is going to be a great day!

End of the 3rd Quarter- This Friday, March 29th is the end of the 3rd quarter. Please check in with your child for progress on their AR goal and other assignments that need to be finished by the end of the week.

Landmark Models- Models are due Tuesday, April 9th when we return from Spring Break. Presentations will be throughout the week.

SACRAMENTO TRIP- Mark your calendar! We are going to Sacramento on May 8th. Permission slips will be sent out after Spring Break. This is a FULL day of fun! We will leave on a charter bus at 6:30 am and return around 8:30 pm. The cost will be $73 for students and chaperones. The day will include a train ride, the train museum, a scavenger hunt through old town Sacramento, a self-guided tour of the Capitol Building, Sutter's Fort and LOTS of fun on the bus ride:) Due to limited space on our bus, each 4th grade class will be able to take ONLY 6 chaperones. If you are interested in going with us, please email me and let me know by this FRIDAY. If I have an abundance of volunteers I will do a lottery. This is going to be such an amazing day. If you know that you will be out of town and your child will not be able to go with us, please let me know right away.
