Secret Santa on December 16th

On December 16^th the boys and girls of fourth grade will exchange brand new books with their Secret Santa. On December 5^th we will conduct a drawing to determine each child’s Secret Santa. They will purchase a book in the amount of $5.00 during the school’s book fair or from an independent retailer. If you are interested in having your child participate in this activity please sign the form that will be sent home with you child granting permission.  In addition, you may also access the 'Secret Santa Permission Slip' on this blog.

Holiday Study Packets & Progress Reports

Hello Everyone!  I hope all is well for everyone.

Today the girls will come home with their progress reports cards attached to a work packet.  Please review the progress report cards, sign them and have the girls return them on Monday, November 28th. The work packets consist of reading and math review. In addition to the packets the girls can utilize this time to work on First in Math, Study Island, Fun Brain, or any other educational program.

 I am very fortunate to have such wonderful parents and parental support. Thank you to all the parents that sent in items for our feast and those that gave of their time to help make this a great celebration.

 Upon our return from Thanksgiving break we will have only three weeks until the end of the quarter. It will be very important for the girls to stay on track and not lose focus.  We are all excited about the upcoming holiday break; it is very easy to lose focus (even for me) and only concentrate on fun times but we must remember that learning must continue everyday.

Please have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
