Mrs. Nawrot's 4th grade class has several upcoming events and assignments. Students have new reading goals for the marking period and must be 10% completed by Friday to earn prizes later in November. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for next week. The class will have a harvest party on Friday and help run a school store the following Thursday. In academics, the class is continuing their reading assignment, revising writing pieces, and starting a new math unit on fractions after taking a decimal test.
