Two Fourth Grade Issues
Here are two issues I discussed with ALL fourth graders today.
I.
NOETIC Math Contest for fourth grade is on April 6th of this year. ASGM kids I've compelled to participate, but the contest will be open to all. It is a 20 question, 45 minute endeavor with pencil, paper, and NO calculators. The IBJ student with the best score will receive a medal and a certificate. Students finishing in the top 10% (of the US - thousands of students take part!) will also receive a medal and certificate. Top 50% finishers will receive a special certificate - as will ALL IBJ participants!
A permission to feature winners on their website went home today. Look out for it!
II.
I spoke with all classes about Safety Patrol and sent home "Code of Conduct" sheets with parent permission to anyone interested. I have only a handful turned in. We've had pretty decent turn out in the mornings thus far, however, there's room for improvement. Students do NOT have to volunteer everyday! Hopefully as things warm up we'll have more help!
