December Updates for Miss Zelle's class
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This is a short month, so we have a lot of learning over the next few weeks. The fourth graders continue to work hard at school, and put forth their best efforts! In math students are learning about collecting and organizing data. Students will also analyze and graph data using bar graphs, double bar graphs, line graphs, and circle graphs. In communication arts, we continue to work in guided reading groups, and on making inferences. Please encourage your students to read every night for 20 minutes! In writing students will be publishing their persuasive paragraphs on computers. In science, we are learning about the changes to Earth’s surface. Students will learn about soil, Earth’s landforms, and the causes of change to Earth’s landforms.
Thanks,
Miss Zelle

Miss Zelle's Class Holiday Party
Dear Parents,
With the holidays right around the corner, please remember that there is a child(ren) with a potentially life threatening allergy to peanuts and/or tree nuts in the classroom. Any contact with or ingestion of these food items could be harmful to any child with peanut/tree nut allergies.
Due to changes in food allergy management in the Lindbergh School District, the nurse must be notified of foods that are being brought in for the party at least one week prior to the party date (or by December 11th). Foods not submitted by December 11th will not be allowed. Food items include, but are not limited to cupcakes, cookies, donuts, candy, and treat bags. A non-food item can be provided instead and is encouraged. If you have any questions regarding the safety of food items or ingredient label reading of food items please stop by or call me. ANY FOOD coming in on the day of the party will not be accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
Handwashing is not only a good way to help keep children with peanut/tree nut allergies safe, but it is also key in preventing illness such as influenza. Please review proper handwashing technique with your child(including the use of soap!) and encourage them to wash hands before and after meals.
Following a few simple guidelines can help keep everyone safe during celebrations. The Halloween parties went smoothly and were without incident. Thank you for your help!

Miss Zelle's Chapter 6 Math Quiz on Wednesday, November 30th
The students in Miss Zelle's class have their Chapter 6 math quiz.
They should study and be able to find the following in a set of data:
They should study and be able to find the following in a set of data:
- Frequency- the number of time a response occurs.
- Cumulative Frequency- the running total of frequencies.
- Mean- the average of a set of data. You find the mean by adding up the numbers and dividing by the number of addends.
- Mode- the number that occurs most often in a set of data. There may be more than one mode or no mode.
- Median- the middle number. Put the numbers in order from least to greatest, then cross them out on each end until you find the number in the middle. If there are two middle numbers, then find the middle of those numbers.
- Line Plot- a graph that shows the frequency of data along a line.
- Range- the difference between the greatest and least numbers in a set of data.
- Outlier- a value separated from the rest of the data. (Ages in our class, everyone was 9-10, and Miss Zelle's age was much further, making her an outlier)
- Scale- a series of numbers placed at fixed or equal distances. Ex: 0-20 or 0-50
- Interval- is the difference between two numbers on the scale. Ex: 2's, 5's or 10's
- Study notes and Study guides
Miss Zelle's Science Class Tests Soil
Students tested which soil would hold the most water.
They wrote a hypothesis
If I pour 200 milliliters (mL) of water into a cup of soil and sand, then I think _____ will hold the most water because _____________________.
If I pour 200 milliliters (mL) of water into a cup of soil and sand, then I think _____ will hold the most water because _____________________.
Materials:
200 ml of water 1 cup of soil 1 cup of sand
Measuring cup
Procedure:
1.Slowly pour the water into the sand. Stop when the water begins to puddle on top.
2.Calculate the amount of water the sand absorbed.
3.Slowly pour the water into the potting soil. Stop when the water begins to puddle on top.
4.Calculate the amount of water the potting soil absorbed.
Then Students drew conclusions by answering the following questions as a group:
1.Infer where the water that you poured into the potting soil and sand went
2.What do the results of the investigation tell about how the size of particles and spaces in between particles compare in the sand and soil?

Bake Sale Proceeds Go to Water Project
Sappington's Humanitarian
Lily T.
Lily raised $282.00, in a bake sale, for the Water Project.
Lily organized and carried out this amazing task, with the help of her family and friends. Lily had some baked donations from her fellow classmates, David and Olivia.
Great job, Lily!
