  1. Room 307 Newsletter Mrs. Etrheim, March 17th – 21st We made it through Terra Nova week! As expected, the fourth graders were amazing. They were very patient and positive, and I know they put forth their best efforts. Students’ scores will be available toward the end of the school year. You’ll notice that the vocabulary words for this coming week are the same words from two weeks ago (3/3), sans the Terra Nova words. During the week of March 3rd, we did not spend enough time with these words as the students needed in order to get a firm grasp on their meanings; in turn, we’ll practice them again this week. Rather than having a new vocabulary test on Friday, students will have a chance to correct their vocabulary tests from 3/7. Students have a new set of spelling words and will be tested on them on Friday (3/21). We have spent a lot of time learning the process of long division, and the fourth graders are definitely becoming more comfortable with it. While we will continue to practice this complicated process, this will be the last week that it is our sole mathematical focus. In turn, the students will have a test on this process mid-week. I will also use Monday night’s (3/17) homework assignment as a grade for long division. If you feel your fourth grader needs extra support with this process outside of school hours, please let me know and we can work out some extra practice time. We are very lucky to have the BaumholderDental Health Clinic visiting Smith on Tuesday (3/18). They will present to the fourth graders from 8:15-9:00. This newsletter is available on our Weebly, http://etrheim.smith.kdso.eportalnow.net. The vocabulary PowerPoint is already available, dated 3/3. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at alissa.etrheim@eu.dodea.edu. Thanks!

  2. Vocabulary Words 3/17 – 3/21 Science Advisory – a report that gives information or a warning about something. Advisories are given for weather situations that can cause problems and can potentially be dangerous; they let people know that they need to be careful. The weather situations are either happening currently, going to happen very soon (imminent), or are likely to happen soon. Air Mass – A large body of air that has similar horizontal temperature and moisture characteristics. Atmosphere – the whole mass of air that surrounds the Earth Barometer – An instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure. Cold Front – an area in the atmosphere that separates cold air (that is coming in or advancing) from warm air (that is leaving or retreating). The air behind a cold front is cooler and typically drier than the air it is replacing. Dry Line- A boundary that separates moist air masses and dry air masses. Front – The boundary or transition zone between two different air masses. Two basic frontal types are cold fronts and warm fronts. Precipitation – Liquid or solid water that falls from the atmosphere and reaches the ground (rain, snow, sleet, hail, etc.) @ Rachel Thorp 2013
