Good Afternoon,

Thank you to all of the 4th grade parents for providing treats during our professional development session during early dismissal this Tuesday.  The food was very yummy and very much appreciated by all of the CHE staff.

Our Friendship Thankgiving Luncheon will be on Tuesday, November the 26th.  We invite you to join your child for the feast.  The forms can be found on the CHE web page under Forms and Documents and are due back on Monday, Nov. 11th. 

Cedar Hills is excited to welcome visiting author, Judy Young on Tuesday, November 12th.  The 4th graders will be watching her presentation from 2:10-3:10 and we welcome you to come and watch as well.

Check the homework section below to see next week's homework.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Worth Repeating:

The 4^th grade curriculum plan is available each month on the CHE website under the "Monthly Curriculum Plans" tab.  

Sumdog is back again this year! 
Students will have the opportunity to play math games on this free website, as well as participate in BV District sponsored Sumdog contests throughout the year.  In the meantime, Sumdog is a great website your child can play at school and at home.  As your child answers math facts, it self-levels based on their accuracy and speed, so don't answer the problems for them.  A great feature is signing up as an adult to gain feedback on your child's weekly progress!  Bookmark Sumdog on your computers for your child:  http://www.sumdog.com  

Thank you for checking the Nut Safer List located on the CHE website under "Forms and Documents" for snacks in the classroom. We want our classroom to be a safe place for everyone!
