What Are the Social Sciences?

Students can find more information on the Social Sciences by visiting this online source provided by our Social Studies Alive curriculum.

Placement Tests

We have successfully worked through our first days of school practicing procedures and getting better acquainted with each other. We have also started placement testing for our new reading series, Lead 21. Students have put their log in codes in the front of their assignment planners. They can use the website to practice weekly skills introduced in the classroom.

We are also taking a 4-part math inventory that will be finished on Monday. This will help me to see where the students line up with our new common core standards.

As in the past, the S.T.A.R. test will be administered to find the student's independent and zone reading levels. Students should be reading a minimum of 30 minutes per night in their level. One passed A.R. test per week will continue to be the requirement in our classroom.

Our specialist schedules have been tweaked a bit to accommodate all grade levels in our building. We moved music back to 1:25 on the same days (M & W). Extended Studies will be on Tuesday mornings from 8:30-11 with Mrs. Hetland.

Please have your students pack a healthy snack every day and a water bottle for hydration. If possible, please have all supplies purchased and sent to school by Monday, August 27th.

We are off to a great start!

A New School Year

Welcome back to Arrowhead school 4th grade. We especially want to send a warm greeting to the new students in our classroom. I have updated our specialist days/times and will be posting additional information as it is received. You can find the information here or on our new web page at: http://junejeziorski.weebly.com/index.html. I will be keeping a classroom calendar on our webpage as well.

I am so excited to get our year started - I hope you are too!
