Tomorrow is "Bring Your DS to School Day"

Tomorrow is our first "Bring Your DS to School Day"!!! If your parents approve and trust you to be careful with your Nintendo DS, you can bring it to school. We will be using the mesh networking technology to take advantage of the chat feature built into the DS. We will be doing this during spelling. Instead of using chalk slates, we will have groups in chat rooms on DS's writing their answers. Should work out, should be fun! Remember to get your parents' permission, first!

Many of you have science homework, or should bring your science home. The main point, and change from previous work, is that you begin to become proficient at writing your thoughts down in complete sentences. I do not expect everyone to be perfect right away, but I do expect us to be wonderful by the end of the school year. Writing about science and math in complete sentences will set you apart from every other fourth grade student next year. You can do it! Written expression is a skill that will take you far in life.

Even though tomorrow is Thursday, we will be having our comprehension test for Centerfield Ballhawk. Click here to do some online activities for the story.
