Hello Parents,


Testing begins tomorrow for the fourth grade. We will be taking the new online test, as well as the district's math and language arts assessments. Please try to have your child in school each day for the full day.  


We will not have spelling and vocabulary lists this week.


We have begun rehearsing for our end of the year play, "Gold Dust or Bust." I have asked students to start bringing in costumes and props. I am trying to secure a date for the performance and will let you know ASAP. We will have a Gold Rush themed afternoon that same day and parents are invited to join in on the festivities.  

Have a great week,


Christina Polay

Hello Parents,


We had a lot of fun on our math QR code scavenger hunt last Wednesday. We are in the middle of writing and illustrating the comic book and should be finished this week. We will also make a new round of vocabulary videos.


There are some new pictures posted...


The word part quiz for the new Helios Set will be on Thursday and the spelling and vocabulary quizzes on Friday.


The field trip slip went home last week. The cost is $45 per child. Please try to turn in the slip and money this week if possible. 


Have a great week,
Christina Polay

Hello Parents,

The website has been updated - sorry for making you wait a couple more days! I added vocabulary videos to the Language Arts page. We made them today and will make another batch next week. Also, the word parts lists (word parts to memorize, spelling and vocabulary) have been updated. We will work with the lists this week and next, so the word part quiz for the new Helios Set will be next Thursday, and the spelling and vocabulary quizzes, next Friday.


We are writing a math-related interactive comic book that asks students to use QR codes to solve riddles and find clues around the school in order to reveal the story's conclusion. We will go on the QR Scavenger Hunt around the school tomorrow!


We started rehearsing for our "Gold Dust or Bust" play. We will perform it for the parents and a couple of other classes in the end of May. 


The fourth grade will go on one more field trip this year - to Riley's Farm. The trip is on June 2nd. A letter will be sent home this week with information.


The calendar on my home page has also been updated. You will notice the testing dates are different than those that Mrs. DiMarco gave in her phone message last week. As of today, the fourth grade is testing the week of the 28th, not the week of the 21st. We also have LAUSD Math and Language Arts Periodic Assessments that same week. I know it is a lot of testing, but I am hoping it will only be one week long! I will let you know if I hear of any other changes.


Have a great rest of the week,
Christina Polay
