We can't believe it is already June.  Our last unit in Math for fourth graders focuses on Volume, and then we progress to tessellations, Frieze patterns, and symmetry and reflection.  We haven't stopped challenging our students with the weekly Math Masters tests.  We are still trying to earn the last few certificates and awards for the Month of June.  Don't forget to practice your addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts over the summer so that you are ready to go in September!

The students have already been assigned their last book report. They are responsible for making a "Sandwich Book Report".  Projects are due on Monday, June 8th.  We will be presenting the sandwiches that week in Reading.  Finally, all Coventry students should have completed their required 25 books read by the middle of June.  If you have not yet reached that mark, don't forget to hand in your reading logs, book slips, or lists to your teacher!

The Fourth Grade Social Studies field trip is going to be on Wednesday, June 17^th.  We will be walking from Oak Haven to the Nathanael Greene Homestead just up the road.  The classes will be enjoying a picnic lunch there, so please wear sneakers and pack a lunch that day.  As many chaperones as can come as are welcome.  Prices and an informational notice went home on a pink paper.  Through our Social Studies work, we will be talking about Rhode Island history.

  There is still one more Science investigation task.  In this project, students will put their electricity knowledge to the test by constructing a working flashlight using only a few materials.  This is always a lot of fun!  See you at the family picnic on June 5th.
