Week of November 19
Sunday Schedule: Week 2, Day 5
Upcoming Events and Special Notes:
Discover Oman on Sunday, November 19 for Azaiba Beach Cleanup and Wednesday, November 22 for the National Museum of Oman and Qurum Park. Please send snacks and pack lunches for both days! Also, note the appropriate attire for each event on the permission slip that was sent home (we have also talked about this in class!). Discover Oman Parent Volunteers: I've sent an email out to all parents that have notified me that they would like to volunteer for either event. If you volunteered, but did not get the email, please let me know.
Spelling words this week.. With the hustle, bustle of the Grade 3-5 Concert at the end of the day, the entire class didn't get their spelling lists checked (we got through about half!). If you'd like to start studying over the weekend, just double check the correct spelling with your child. Otherwise, we will finishing checking lists that didn't get correct spelling recorded on Sunday!
Reminders:
Our last week of the current Reader's Workshop schedule with parents coming in to read with students ends on Wednesday, November 22. I will notify parents of a potential Trimester 2 schedule if 4AN decides to continue having parent volunteers for reading!

No Swimming on Thursday
As the anticipation builds for our Grade 3-5 Music Concert on Thursday, I wanted to note that 4AN will not be swimming for P.E. on Thursday. Students will have P.E., but will have an indoor, modified class.
Also, as a result of various activities throughout the grade four swimming unit, Ms. Effie's swim unit for P.E. will be extending to Thursday, November 30.

Upcoming Events and Special Notes:
Our first round of Discover Oman experiences is here! We will have two trips starting with the Azaiba Beach Cleanup on Sunday, November 19 and ending with the National Museum of Oman/Qurum Park on Wednesday, November 22. Students will need to pack a snack and lunch for each day as well as dress with comfortable clothing appropriate to each trip (outlined on the information sent home). Discover Oman Parent Volunteers: If you would like to volunteer to help chaperone one of the experiences, please let me know.
Our next planner (Trimester 2) will contain Math Newsletters, student-facing writing checklists, and Reading Learning Progressions for current and upcoming units so you can follow our units! Great resources for you to use to check in with your student!
ePortfolio coming soon! We wanted to get a start with uploading our conference documents last week (Self Reflection, Module 1 Math Assessment/Rubric/Module Summary, Writing Samples/Unit Summary) but our app is not updated to work with iOS 11 update yet. Once it is, we will get a start on uploading documents! (I will notify you over the blog when we upload new documents; instructions for accessing the ePortfolio on the side menu of the blog).
Reminders:
Discover Oman permission slips due on Thursday, November 16.
I have been emailing my updated blog posts out to parents emails I have in my records, but if you are not getting the emails or have a different preferred email address, please let me know and I will update my list. (Although I'm sending emails, it's still helpful to check the upcoming dates of the 4AN Blog periodically if you need a quick overview of what's to come!)

Did you see our FYI board?
Thank you for your taking the time to come in and sit down with me to look at your student's progress in learning this year! I will be checking in with conference follow-ups in the upcoming weeks and look forward to our continued work together!
P.S. Did you take a look at our Grade 4 News/FYI board containing upcoming news and information about our current units of study when you stopped in for conferences?
