September 16

Wow! Is it Friday already?!?! We had an amazing week!!!!
In German class we covered standards 1.1.1 Participate in brief oral or written guided conversations related to students' needs and interests (i.e., dialogues, interviews and role plays). and worked with more color words in the younger classes and general introductions in the older classes. 
Talk with your child about these words:


Guten Morgan! (Good Morning)

Wie Geht's? (How are you?)

Ich bin gut! (I am good!)

Tchüß!! (Good Bye)

Deutschland- Germany

In 4th grade math we have been still working on refreshing our memories by talking about place value, adding double/triple digit whole numbers, and covered this standard:

4.NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. 

In art we discussed perspective drawing. I am SO impressed with these students and their artistic abilities!!! Check out some of the pictures!!! It covered the North Dakota art standard: 8.2.1 Know the effects of visual art structures and functions. 

We were unable to cover much health, but we will be talking about acne, braces, and personal hygiene this coming week!

Library Contract

Every student needs to have a library contract signed and turned in before they are allowed to check out books. They will be given one at school, but attached is a copy for your own records or in case the paper "goes missing" ;)
