Second Parent Letter

September 12, 2008
Waterville Elementary 4th grade

Dear Parents,

Most of us are almost finished writing our story about ourselves. When we are done writing, we check it over for capitals, periods, question marks, apostrophes and spelling. On Thursday 5 people shared their writing during Author’s Chair.

Another thing from this week was that we made a pie graph showing what a 4th grader does in a 24 hour day. We were learning how to read and write military time. For example, 6 in the afternoon is 1800 in military time. O100 is one o’clock in the morning.

We have been doing a great job of getting our math homework finished. Some of us forgot to complete our spelling and reading homework pages though. We are hoping you will help us remember and find time to do ALL our homework.

Finally, Mrs. Petersen made a Jeopardy game for the computer and we played it on Friday. When we got an answer correct, we got Petersen bucks. The topics were about our new Spelling Resource book and other class topics. Some were about Washington state and some were about how we do things.

Your money-making horny toad,

4th grader
