Welcome to Fourth Grade!

 
Sharing is Caring Update:
 
Thank you to all the families who donated items for our Sharing is Charing drive.  Together the students at Nixon donated 9, 045 items!  All students made cards and helped put items in bags that will help out those in need in our local communities.  You are all AWESOME!

Science Chapters 5 & 1:

Computer Lab:
 
 
 
Students will continue to take quizzes in Accelerated Reader after reading books from our library.  They will also design their own pamphlets with Microsoft Word.
 
 

  Many do not know that our textbooks are available online!  We have put together a document with the web addresses and logins for each.  A copy was sent home and you can always download the pdf version at the bottom of this page.Some of our students have already taken advantage of this great resource.  On these sites you can view the text from the hardbooks.  Workbooks are not accessible to view online.  This can come in handy if someone forgot to bring a book home that they need for their homework, or to have as a study tool whenever there is spare time at home for a review.  Many of the sites also have games and study tools to help students.  We hope this will be a help to many of you!

 

***This year, the science textbook is not available online.  We are working to get this link back up and running.



 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact your child's teacher.  You can contact us by phone, by sending a note with your child, or by email.  You can find our individual email addresses on our classroom pages.
*If you send an email and do not receive a response, please contact us by phone.  Some emails have a tendency to get bounced back by our district filter.  We apologize for any inconvenience.
