Homework: In an effort to make the transition to 5th grade as smooth as possible, the fourth grade teachers will be enforcing the 5th grade policy for late work during the month of May.
Monday April 23rd, the students were given details for our next project called Marshmallow Mania. Basically, we will have a contest to see which student can construct a catapult that launches a marshmallow the furthest, using what they have learned about simple machines. This is a graded assignment, and catapults are due on Wednesday, May 2nd.
The policy is as follows:
-Any assignment that is late, but not taken for a grade, will receive a late slip. The student will have one point taken out of his/her homework bank. (NO CHANGE)
-Any assignment that is late & taken for a grade will receive a late slip, but no points will be lost from the homework bank. If the assignment is turned in one day late, the final grade will be reduced by 10%. If the assignment is more than one day late, but turned in before the unit test, the final grade will be reduced by 25%. If the assignment is not turned in before the unit test, the final grade will be a zero.

Book Worm Angels: The 4th grade is in competition against the 3rd and 5thgrades to see which grade level can donate the most used books. The competition starts now and will last through Friday, May 4th. Look for more details in the flyer that was sent home.
