We are working on self-management in 4th grade. We have a social contract that the students wrote in the fall, and we readdressed the contract last week. Students understand the expectations and consequences. Please ask your child about the contract.
We are spreading love, not germs in 4th grade. We appreciate any donations of Clorox wipes during the flu season. We have discussed with students the importance of washing hands and covering mouths and noses when coughing and sneezing. If your child does become sick, please notify Mrs. Quesnel in the front office. I will put any missed work in the office by 2:00 pm for you to pick up each day.
SCIENCE FAIR: For students who chose to do individual projects- Science Fair boards are due to the library by 9:00am on Tuesday morning, January 19th.
READING LOG LETTER: Students will complete one letter per week (3 paragraphs in letter format) as their reading log. Each paragraph should include a 2-3 general summary of what was read, tic tac toe topic discussion, and a closing sentence. Students have two examples of what is expected in the letter log in their homework folder. Letters are due on Friday.
PENNIES FOR SCIENCE: We will be conducting a science experiment the week of January 18, 2016 that requires pennies. Every fourth grade student will need to bring 100 pennies in a plastic baggie, labeled with their name, by January 19, 2016. After the experiment, the pennies will be returned home to you. Thank you for your help!
FOURTH GRADE MUSICAL: Fourth grade students will be presenting the musical "Go West" February 16, 2016 at 6:30 PM. "Go West" packets will be sent home today with your student so they can begin practicing their part at home.
CHARACTER: Our character word for January is SELF-DISCIPLINE!
