Over Winter Break:
-Reading: Read an "on-level" chapter book of 100 pages or more over the break. Bring the book into school with you on Monday, January 7th to write a Book Review about it in class.
-Math: Use your IXL account over break to keep your math skills sharp and to preview new material that we haven't covered yet. If you still haven't made it into the prestigious One-Minute Club, then keep on practicing those multiplication facts using flashcards, websites, and worksheets.
-Reminder: 4th graders ski and snowboard for FREE everyday at Sipapu! Just bring a copy of your first marking period progress report for verification. See the link or call 800-587-2240 for more info.
-Geo-Bee: Our class Geography Bee winners and alternates should study and prep for the TCS school-wide bee on January 11th. Our school winner will go on to compete in the state-level bee in Albuquerque in March. The New Mexico winner and their parents get an all-expense paid trip to Washington, DC to participate in the national bee in May! Last year's National Geo-Bee champion won a $25,000 prize and a trip to the Galapagos Islands!
What can you do to get ready? Study an atlas, globe, world almanac, or use the Geo-Bee website to see study tips, sample questions, and take the Daily Geography Quiz. See the links for info about Geo-Bee study guides that are available to order.
-Thank you for all the nice gifts this year. I really appreciate it! I wish you and all your families a fun, safe winter break. Feliz Navidad y Prospero Año Nuevo!
