You did it! You've conquered another exam week. I cannot fully empathize with what all of you had to go through because I didn't have to learn 2 languages when I was in Fourth Grade. You guys are the real troopers. This week's highlights are short and sweet.
In Reading, we learned about the fastest rider in the west. Did you know that back in the 1800s, horses could travel 10 times faster than wagon trains? Anyways, many were confused of why we needed to start a new unit even though they've just completed their English exams. Our schedule for next semester is going to be quite tight so we need a head start! Remember, we must be proactive and put first things first!
In Science, we learned a little bit about flammable materials and fire safety. Did you know that nail polish and perfume are flammable?
In Writing, students wrote a 5 paragraph essay about their goals. They had to set 2 academic goals and 1 personal goal. A few students mentioned that they would like to skip (jump rope) and play more sports! I'm so happy to hear that students at this age already understand the importance of being active. Being active is the key to a healthy heart!
As for our English Assembly, I've chosen Henry Wang and Anna Jiang as our Brilliant Students. Not only did Henry do superb on his exams, he is also an active participant in class and contributes valuable insights into our class discussions. As for Anna, she always seems to be ahead of the game because she is proactive in reviewing class material before class. She is always ready to learn, contribute to class discussions, as well as help her classmates. You've both earned to be Brilliant Students, Henry and Anna! Keep up the excellence.
Well, that's a wrap for this week and this semester. This means that all of you will receive your report cards soon. Remember, grades don't mean everything. While it is important to strive for good grades, building meaningful relationships with friends and families is also crucial. School doesn't dictate your life. If you aren't satisfied with your grades, don't feel discouraged! Think of the bigger picture and always try your best. If you try your best, you shouldn't have any regrets. Alright, folks! Until next semester.. :)
Best,
Ms. Wendy
