What's new in 4A+ (April)

Happy Easter! What a beautiful start to spring. Hope that does not doom us further down the calendar...
Lots of the kids in 4A+ are excited about their new yoyos. We should see some fancy new tricks considering the price! The NED show was fun and funny to attend with a good message on how to be a champion.

We have just finished a math chapter on mutilplying with BIG numbers. We are in the middle of a quick unit on measurement (metric vs. standard), and will soon delve into the chapter on dividing with BIG numbers (aka long division).

The kids are madly reading Dear America journal books that tell about an important era in our nation's history. These are really captivating historical fiction stories. Reports are due April 7th.

The following kids from 4A+ made it into the 4th/5th grade school spelling bee:
Brendon Bartels
Shayne Trueber
Lindsey Murphy
Everett Winters
Alternate: Alexys Daniels

We have not had an assembly for some time, so our Students fo the month have not been rewarded yet. For February our 4A+ SOM was Tyler Riechel, and for the month of March it was Alexys Daniels. Tyler is a polite, smart, athletic young man. Alexys is a sunny, bright spark plug. Both of these kids are easy-going, positive, friendly and humorous. They make friends easily and follow the 4 agreements nicely.

Jordan Zimmerman was our birthday girl in March, and Tricia Spinelli is our April girl.
