It has been an AMAZING week. We have had so much fun exploring our senses and emotions during writing this week. I am constantly so impressed with the students’ hard work and dedication to learning. We are continuing to work on perseverance through hard things. Monday we will be starting our first book study. Please make sure your child brings their Turtle in Paradise book, as they will need their own copy. Many students have been having issues with our math vocabulary. The learning of geometry is all vocabulary. Attached at the math terms we are covering with examples and definitions. Please work with your students at home on these terms. I will also be allowing students to retake the Patterns Assessment Thursday. Study pages are attached. A note from Ms. West: I am so excited about our new Spirit Shirts and Hoodies. We have never had Hoodies before so students are very excited. Please review the guidelines below with your child(ren). As always, thank you for your support! *Students are permitted to wear a Plato Spirit Shirt on Fridays in place of their Plato Polo. Hoodies and Red Plato Jackets are permitted on all days. Students are NOT permitted to wear the new Spirit Hoodie as a top. Students must wear a Plato Polo shirt under the Hoodie (Monday - Thursday) and under a Spirit Shirt or Plato Polo under the Hoodie on Fridays Links to order: https://plato-academy-st-petersburg-pto.square.site/ http://www.platoacademy.deco-apparel.com/ What will my student be learning next week?

Thank you so much for filling out the Parent Survey I sent out. It has really helped me get to know your child through your eyes and expectations. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, Ms. West will be deleting all contacts from the 20192020 school year from her Principal Updates. Please make sure you have all filled out the current Contact Information Sheet to be added to her Principal update list. If you have already filled it out this school year there is no need to do it again. This year, your child will be participating in novel studies! Along with applying our grade level standards, novel studies have a plethora of benefits! They are great for building background and world exposure, introducing authentic vocabulary, practice with communication/dialogue skills, developing better social skills, and providing engagement and excitement for learning. Each semester in 4th grade, we will focus on a different novel. However, due to our inability to share materials this year, each student will need to have their own copy of the books. The books we will be reading are:
