4th Grade Science with Mr. McIntosh
A great big WELCOME to our new TOPS students! I am so happy to have you 4th graders in Science, and I just want to give you some idea of what next week will look like for us. We started the year by looking at the scientific method and what that means as we are doing science all year long. This week you won’t need anything except your working headset, a science journal/notebook, pencil, and your imagination.
You will have one OLS assessment that goes with next week’s lesson (listed below), and we will discuss what that assessment will look like as well as how we will use USATestPrep. This lesson is a way for you to get familiar with the OLS and the online assessments. DON’T WORRY, we’re going to make sure that you can understand what we have been studying and where we are going from here. Remember that you can always reach out to me with any questions that you may have about science or anything else. See you in our orientation session on Tuesday, Oct. 16th at 9am!

Welcome to 4th grade Music! This week we will learn how to navigate the music program, Music Studio. Check your email for a PDF file from me about Music Studio (it will also be available in the file share in the OLS). There are also some directions and helpful hints in the Music Reference Guide book you received in the mail with your materials.
Every week you will check the grade level newsletter to see which Music Studio lessons to complete. Just open Unit 1, Lesson 1 in the OLS and click the link to take you to Music Studio! (I marked everything else as skipped in the OLS because there isn't any content in those lessons. You can just ignore the skipped ones.)
