Welcome Spring!

The kids worked so hard on the Math and Communication Arts MAP tests! It was exhausting BUT they did a fantastic job! You should be very proud of your student--I know I am! :) Also, a big THANKS to all the families who donated snacks for the testing days. The kids really appreciated it!

Continue to watch the Friday folders for important information about whats happening at Lindbergh...Spring is in the air and so are field trips! Be on the look out for permission slips and reminders about all of the exciting events coming up in the next few weeks.

We have a lot of learning left to do, so please make sure your child is at school each day and is on time. It is hard for a student to catch up and make up work when they have missed the teaching of the lesson. We begin school at 8:25. The kids have an assignment as soon as they walk in the door, so if they're late, they miss necessary work time.

Enjoy the sunshine and remember to continue to sit down with your child to help with the twenty minutes of homework Mondays through Thursdays.

Happy 3rd Quarter!

3rd quarter is off to a quick start! As you are aware, we have missed several days of school due to the weather. This means that we have had to use our time very wisely since we have been back.
School is busy with lots of new learning happening. We have new units in Math (measurement), Science (force and motion), and Writing (poetry). We also have a student teacher from Northwest Missouri State University learning with us. Miss Derks joined us after the winter break and will spend her days with us throughout February.
3rd quarter grades have already started so please remember to sit down with your child to go over homework. Three homework assignments a week count towards grades. The At Home Reading Log is very important, as well. Please help your child remember to read at home and have the form signed by you.
Your child is working hard each day! Ask them how school is going, what they are learning, what they are enjoying and what they are struggling with. If they answer any of these questions with, "Nothing," keep asking!
Thanks for all you do!

Winter is here!

The end of the quarter is fast approaching and every day of school counts! We will continue to learn and complete assignments until Monday, December 21. Please be sure your child is at school each day! Be sure to tune to kjo 105 or KQ2 for the latest on school closings. Remember, we WILL have school when it snows, so don't assume if it snows that your child has the day off.
Information regarding our Christmas party was sent home in the Friday folder. We need donations of Root Beer, cups and spoons. I will get the ice cream. Your child is welcome to bring treats for the class on the day of our celebration. We have 25 in our class.
Continue to read the information in the Friday folders for updates on school events. The 4th grade Holiday program is on Thursday, December 17. We will have an information session about our Readers Workshop for parents before the program at 6:10 in the gym. Students must be here at 6:10 so we thought this would be the most convenient time to meet with parents. The music program is a big part of the students music grade, so please plan on attending.
Thanks for all your continued support!
Happy Holidays!
