During the school day, children may dress as their favorite literary character (some restrictions apply). Teachers will clarify expectations for their class, but your child should 1) bring a copy of the book, 2) be prepared to read a favorite passage out of it, 3) be able to engage in regular learning and physical activity in their costume. While comic books, Disney books, and graphic novels are great fun to read, we request that your child choose a more "literary" literary character.</div>

Hello 4th Grade Families,<br /></div>
I hope you had a wonderful break. It was really nice to see all the students today!<br /><br />I wanted to let you know that the 4th graders will be starting the archery unit this week. Last year was the first year we were able to do it and it was a success. Combining archer with the reading of Robin Hood is a great way to collaborate with Ms. Cantin and bring the book to life.<br /></div>
We will be starting the week with safety and procedures. We will not get into shooting arrows until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1490708601" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span>. <br /></div>
Please let me know if you do not want your child to participate in this unit. I have alternative assignments for those who will not be participating.<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Please let me know if you have any questions, </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Mr. Weaver</span><br />

You are invited to join the staff and students of Cascade Heights on December 17th at 6:30 PM for an evening performance highlighting current units by all 9 classes. Each class will perform just once this year since we will be at a much larger facility. Our wonderful PTA has rented the auditorium at Camp Withycombe so that everyone will be comfortable and in the same place. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;">
Our evening performance begins at 6:30 PM. Family and friends may take their seats beginning at 6:10 while students make their way to the back of the auditorium where teachers will seat them. We are expecting a full house, so be there early for the best seats. Because Camp Withycombe is a military base, all drivers will need picture ID to get on base. Once there, proceed to the large building just inside the gate. There is plenty of parking and the building is handicap accessible! </div>

Wondering whether school is open? The easiest way to hear is to sign up for remind (formerly Remind 101). This service will send you a text to let you know about any school wide closure or emergency. Instructions for signing up are below. You can also watch your local news channel. If North Clackamas is closed, so are we. </div>

She was selected along with 25 other educators from around the world to watch children play the game and then learn from the grand master himself.

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The Science Fair process has begun and I am excited about this years projects. Your child brought home their Science Fair Notebook on Thursday, October 15th. Everything that involves your child's project should be documented in this book. Fourth grade is a transition year for the science fair and they should come up with a project to complete with help from home. If you have older children at CHPCS keep in mind that expectations are different and if you have questions, please contact your child's teacher. There is a check list on the back page of the Science Fair Notebook which includes when specific items are due. Make sure you sign when things get turned in.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Students should work on choosing a topic, project, and a good scientific question. Their question and project can be turned in any time this week. It will be a first come first served basis. It there are duplicate projects, I will help your child brainstorm to come up with something else.<br clear="all" /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Science Fair is a time for students to expand their knowledge, work through the scientific process, and most importantly, HAVE FUN with science!</div>

You can prepare your child by making sure they have a good nights sleep, have extra snacks and water for the day, and encouraging your child to take their time and do their best.<br />
<br />
MAP assessments are intended to show your child's progress over time. This is just <u>one </u>assessment teachers use to determine your child's academic development and not the only assessment tool we use.<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia, serif;">Music is important to the mission of Cascade Heights because creating, performing and responding to music are the fundamental music processes in which children engage. Students, particularly in grades K-8, learn by doing. Singing, playing instruments, moving to music, and creating music enables students to acquire musical skills and knowledge that can’t be developed in any other discipline. Listening to, analyzing, and evaluating music are also important building blocks of musical learning. Learning to read and notate music provides children with the ability to explore music independently and socially. In addition, to participate fully in a diverse, global society, students must understand their own historical and cultural heritage and those of others within their communities and beyond. Because music is a basic expression of human culture, every student should have access to a balanced, comprehensive, and sequential program of study in music.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia, serif;">This summer we posted our music position on Craig's list, National Alliance of Charter Schools job board, Core Knowledge Foundation job board. We received seven applications and interviewed them all. They were musicians, but not music teachers. Very different. One applicant was qualified but did not have a college degree. Another applicant was a retired 33 year veteran choir teacher who only wanted a middle school choir. We also posted on our website as well as sending letters of inquiry to every music group large and small in the Portland Metro Area (Portland Baroque Orchestra, Metropolitan Youth Symphony, Portland Symphonic Choir, Oregon Symphony, Harmony Road Music and several others. We received only one and he changed his mind before the interview. </span></div>

Please, post on Facebook, talk to friends and coworkers, and ask them to also ask others. With over 400 adults at our school, someone must know someone that is looking for part time work. Ideally, we would love to have one person teach K - 8 music including band and orchestra, but we are open to splitting it into several smaller jobs. The right person has a current teaching certificate with a music endorsement and is available Mondays and Wednesdays. Please have anyone interested email Mrs. Robinson at <a href="mailto:k.robinson@chpcs.org" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">k.robinson@chpcs.org</a> and Mrs. Denman at <a href="mailto:h.denman@chpcs.org" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">h.denman@chpcs.org</a>. </b></span></div>

We are reading the novel Pollyanna, by Eleanor H. Porter and will discover how important it is to find the good in things that are sometimes difficult.<br />
<br />
History will take us back in time to Europe in the Middle Ages. Kings, knights, Charlemagne, and castles will capute our attention as we navigate through this time period.<br />
<br />
In science we have started our Meteorology unit and will be learning about the hydrologic cycle, clouds and the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
Math homework is going well. If you have any concerns do not hesitate to contact me either through email or a quick phone call (sometimes a text message is easier for me to get to during the school day).<br />
<br />
RIGGS homewill will start this week. Your child will have 4-5 new words each night. Writing them three times with markings, and using them in a complete sentence that makes sense is the expectation.<br />
<br />
Our first field trip will be on Friday, October 23, 2015. We will be traveling by bus to Magness Memorial Tree Farm in Sherwood, Oregon. Rain or shine.<br />

President Barack Obama started Every Kid in a Park so children and families could discover, explore, and visit every state park in America.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fourth graders can get free admission to all parks ( I believe families are also free). I have printed a pass for you and your child and sent it home with them on Thursday, September 10. 2015.</div>

Enjoy the National Parks!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The staff of Cascade Heights invites you to our 10th annual Back to School Night on Thursday, September 10th, 2015. The evening begins at 6:00 PM with a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open our new, fully operational library! The ceremony will be followed by a short welcome and introductions in the gym at 6:30. After this is where things get weird. Instead of our usual two sessions with teachers talking too fast trying to cram everything you might need to know into your head, we will be trying something new. Parents with students in Kindergarten through 4th grade will remain in the gym while parents with students in 5th - 8th grade will move to the cafeteria. If you have students in both primary and upper grades, please go to the cafeteria. In each of these rooms teachers will spend about 20 minutes sharing ideas for ways to make the most of our partnership while focusing on the goals you have for your student this year. After the group sessions, all classrooms will be open to allow parents to get to know each other and the classroom teacher, as well as pick up syllabi and sign up for conferences and volunteering opportunities. In order to make the most of our short time together, we ask that students not attend this event.</span></div>
