Weekly Happenings!

On March 14th, the TVES students and staff got the surprise of a lifetime. Devin Logan, Silver Gold Medalist in Slope Style Skiing made a trip to visit our school! We were thrilled to listen to her stories, ask questions and even touch the medal (for those lucky few). 

Math
In math this week, students will finish working on mutliplying 2-digit numbers by 3-digit numbers. Next, we will continue our work with division. Our focus will be on division with regrouping. We will begin by dividing 3-digit numbers by a 1-digit number. 
ELA
Students will continue to begin their ELA block in guided reading groups. Each group will be reading different pieces of text, but our focus will be on locating proof to support our answers, as well as writing reading responses. After guided reading groups, students will enjoy a read-aloud. Currently, we are finishing The Chocolate Touch and begin Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. Students will be writing reading responses based on our read-aloud selections. Our writing focus will be on using transition words as we transition from detail to detail. Lastly, we will work on our independent reading skills with weekly reading conferences. 

Science
Students will begin their new science unit - Earth Materials. Students will learn about rocks and minerals and explore the various properties we use to identify the various types of rocks and minerals.

**Last week, I took the time to update my contact page with the different ways to get in touch with me. Please don't hesitate to email, call or schedule a meeting. I am always here to support you and your child!
