Students earned a PJ Day by completing our biggest behavior "BINGO" chart so far, and were treated to the first half of "Frozen". There was singing and dancing, and the 4th graders have the chance to earn the other half of the movie in the coming weeks! Hello Fourth Grade Families,
Thank you so much for the flowers, kind words, and goodies last week! My Friday helpers and I have already put most of the fabulous new file crates to good use, and I'm looking forward to Via- and Luna bar-fueled hiking this summer. I feel appreciated and very lucky to work with such thoughtful families. Thank you!!! I hope all you moms had a terrific Mother’s Day! I know your children were excited to shower you with gifts and love. Our goal for this week: "Study for the Government Test." Some items in this Monday's take-home folder: Sign and return: updates (teacher-assessed), Math tests, reading logs (in binders) Review and keep at home: corrected math facts and mad minutes, Economics practice pages, Economics reviews, Reading packets, Math packets, Math test work, Late notices for school library books. Helmets Required for PE during The Wheels Unit: May 19-30th No Helmet = No PE Thanks to the Turkey Trot fundraiser, we have purchased a new wheels unit for PE.
