School Closure Update


Dear parents,
This email is going out to all 4th grade parents from the ELA teachers. We want to let you know that we will be available Monday through Friday from 9-10:30am via email to answer any questions you may have. We will also be checking our emails periodically throughout the day after these mandated hours, and we will be available to answer any other questions you may have. Assignments will be posted daily on our blogs by 9am and students are already aware of what type of assignments to expect as well as our expectations for these assignments. Students are expected to work for 2 hours total each day on all subject assignments (1 hour for Math/Science/Social Studies and 1 hour for ELA). Students should read for 30 minutes as part of their ELA hour and work on any reading strategies they may have during that reading time. The other 30 minutes allotted for ELA should be spent working on word work and writing. Please have your child access the Bullard website at any time for many educational websites that will provide extra practice.

If your students go to Mrs. Hall for EIP reading, she is asking that students login to the Read 180 program 3 times a week for about 20 to 30 minutes. If your child was not at school today to receive the letter from her, please be on the lookout in your email for directions on how to download the Read 180 app. The program will be available Monday through Friday from 7am-6pm. If you have iPhone headphones with the microphone, then the students may use those for the speaking portion, if not they can skip that section. Students may also work on their goal of reading books and taking quizzes through the Read 180 program. If you have questions please email Megan.Hall@cobbk12.org.

Mrs Muhlbauer’s Epic class code is: UDA-8953

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Week of January 21st Update


Good afternoon parents,
I hope you all have had a wonderful week. This is a longer email, but please read it as it has very important information regarding our upcoming project.

Next week in…
Reading: We will be reviewing various reading concepts that have been discussed throughout the year.
Word Work: Students will receive their lesson 11 vocabulary words on Tuesday. We will also begin discussing relative adverbs. Students will be assessed on this the following week. 
Writing: During the 3rd 9 weeks, students will be learning about informational writing. This past week students were introduced to our new research project. Students will be working to complete a mobile museum. This project based learning activity will incorporate many subjects and will engage the students in the research and informational writing process. The students have already selected the animal they would like to research and become the expert on for our mobile museum. More information will be sent home.
Homework: Please make sure students are continuing to read each night for a minimum of 20 minutes. They should also be studying their vocabulary words and other grammar skill that is covered each week. As we approach the Milestones, students are encouraged to go on Education Galaxy to practice skills.

Due to the specific animals that students are researching, our school library does not have the books necessary for the research portion of our mobile museum project. Therefore, much of the research will have to be completed online. We are limited with our technology that is available in school, so I have told students that they may bring a device from home to use during this research process. Strict rules were given about the use of personal devices including that the devices should only be used for research. Browsing the internet for “fun” or games will not be tolerated. If students do not adhere to these rules, they will not be allowed to bring their devices back to school. A form was sent home with your child today, if they requested one, that must be completed before they may use the device in class. I am also attaching a copy of the form to this email. Students were also told that their devices are their responsibility and may only be used for research and not during recess or other times throughout the school day. I did tell them that bringing a device is not a requirement and it is up to you (the parents) to decide if you want to allow your child to have a device in school. We will certainly make arrangements for those students who do not have a device. On a similar note, if you have any old phones or tablets that you are no longer using and would like to donate to our classroom, we will graciously accept them. Old phones and tablets can be used to connect to the school’s Wi-Fi. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this project or technology use.

Reminders:
  • The school is selling shirts for Autism Awareness for $10. All proceeds will go towards buying supplies for the sensory room that our precious students with autism use on a daily basis. Information was sent home with your child this week.
  • There is no school on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a nice, LONG weekend!
