A Closer Look in the PBL Classrooms

Hey, Hey, What do you Say?

Who’s Gonna Be at Pontiac today?

                                                   

               September is attendance awareness month.

         #schooleveryday

Hello All,

We are enjoying our time in the classrooms.  Students are settling in nicely in fourth grade and continuing to work on the classroom procedures daily.  There are a lot of things coming up that are very exciting.

Students have been working on their first two PBL project, I Am Awesome and We the Citizens.  We will be presenting our completed work this upcoming week!  After the presentations we will begin the Weather or Not project and focus on science.  In math we are finishing up Topic 1 (Multiplication and Division) and will have our first unit test on Monday and then will be jumping into Topic 3 (Generate and Analyze Patterns).  Fourth grade will also be completing their Math MAP Testing on Tuesday, 15th September, so please ensure that your child gets good sleep on Monday night.

On Tuesday, 15 September, Mrs. Rodriguez will be hosting Family Literacy University from 6:00 - 7:00 P.M.  On Thursday, 17 September, Pontiac will be holding Open House form 6:00 - 7:30 P.M.  We would love for you to attend if possible!

We had a wonderful time at the Lexington County Museum and are extremely grateful for our volunteers!
