Snuggle Up and Read a Good Book!

Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas Room 4! 

This holiday I am sending you home with a couple of books to "snuggle-up" and read with your grandma, grandpa, mom, or dad. There are 16 chapters of reading fun. May you eat cookies, visit friends, play games, stay up late, and sleep-in every morning! Vacation is for family, fun, and REST! May all the sniffles and sore throats be healed, and that excitement and energy continue. You are the BEST first graders any teacher could ever hope for. See you "next year"! Love, Mrs. Stein

iReady in Room 4

Room 4 uses iPads daily. They are used every morning for HMH vocabulary readers and leveled readers, and every afternoon for iReady Math differentiated lessons. The math lesson is at their correct level of difficulty. They must pass to go on to the next objective.



Who Lights Up Your Heart in Room 4?

Bats and Skunks

Room 4 studied 2 mammals. Bats and skunks are the same, but different! Bats fly, skunks creep, but both mammals are nocturnal. Bats keep the insect population down. Farmers love them. Skunks live a short life, eating worms and grubs, waddling through thick underbrush. They really hurt no one, unless...  they are threatened! ask your child to hare how a skunk warns a predator before they spray!
