End of the Year Newsletter
Where has the year gone? It has been a joy this year working with your student. The students have shown tremendous growth and have worked really hard on the NWEA. As we wrap up our testing, we are looking forward to our end of the year events.
In reading, the students have worked really hard identifying plot, problem & solution, cause and effect, setting, and character motives and inferences. The students will finish up the year reading, Hatchet, a book written by Gary Paulsen.
In writing, the students will be finishing up the year with their research reports. The students are looking forward to share their research information with their peers. Students will be presenting their information in front of their peers, while being evaluated by their peers.
In math, the students will continue to review all math concepts. Over the summer we are encouraging students to keep on memorizing their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. The students have worked really hard this year, getting these memorized. It is imperative that they retain this information to be successful in fifth grade math.
As the end of the year approaches we have many fun activities to look forward to. Please make sure that you mark your calendar, and we look forward to seeing you!
This summer students will be receiving a summer packet. This summer packet will enable students to practice the skills they have mastered in fourth grade. Please encourage your child to complete this packet, so when they return in the fall they hit fifth grade running! 
Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you next year!
