Hello Roughnecks!

Here are some things coming up:

Next week, (February 1 -5) three week progress reports will be going home with your child.

Possibly, in the month of February, the 4th grade students may get to go to the symphony at LeTourneau. More to come later.

Also, for February you can’t forget Valentine’s Day. A list will be coming home soon with the students’ names. Please start buying your valentine’s now.

For the month of March, be on the look-out for Texas Day in 4th grade. Mrs. Z is working very hard to plan many activities that will be a lot of fun for the students.

Also, in the month of March, the students will be taking the Writing Practice Taks test. Be on the look out for that date and make sure your son/daughter is ready to go on that day.

Giving Thanks!

Well HOMECOMING 2009 is here and it will be a very exciting day!!! It will be wonderful to see the exes of White Oak come back to the school to visit the campuses. There are so many activities planned, along with the football game and the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, and don’t forget the parade on Saturday. I am looking forward to seeing all of you there. How many of you have parents that graduated from White Oak? How about grandparents? That would be awesome, to be a generation of Roughnecks!!!

Have a great HOMECOMING weekend!!!

Dear Parents,

Just a note to let you know you should have seen you child’s homework binder. It will come home several times for you to review the students papers before reports go out. Right now in math we are working on decimals, with tenths and hundredths, and numeration.

Please look at your child’s planner daily so you can see any notes and homework, tests, etc.

Thanks!!!!

BACK TO SCHOOL!

School is back in session, and we are starting off with a blast!!!
I have a great group of kids that I want to welcome to 4th grade this year. We will be doing many exciting things.

We are starting our novel, A Paradise in Texas. This is about a family that moves from Germany to Texas. Do you have any one in your family from another country? If so, let me know. We are going to be studying about Germany, and learning some of the different language as we are reading!

Also, we are working hard on numeration and place value in math. The students are learning to write numbers in standard form, word form, and expanded form up through the millions place.
We are looking forward to a wonderful year!!
