Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Families,

     The Fourth Graders have been working very hard.  We've been busily practicing our times tables, learning about decimals, reading for main idea, learning new spelling and grammar rules and reflecting on our writing skills. We've also created New Mexico travel brochures and we hope you'll come see them during our Celebration of Learning scheduled for Monday, December 2nd, from 2-3pm.  Special thanks to everyone who's helped out in the classroom this fall - your involvement and support is so valuable and I am very grateful.

     This class has grown tremendously in the last few months. Not only are they TALLER, but they have come together and are a true team.  I love working with them and I cherish how they make me laugh at least once a day!  So creative and full of wonder!  

   I wish you all a lovely Thanksgiving and safe travels during this long holiday weekend.  

Gratefully,

Ms. Kelly

Hello parents,
     The students have worked for the past month on their NM brochure's project.  Please ask them how it's going.  If the project was not finished today, it should be taken home as homework - due this Friday, Nov. 22.   This has been a great learning experience and we look forward to having you attend our Celebration of Learning on Monday, Dec. 2 from 2-3.  
     Invitations have been sent home today for the Thanksgiving Luncheon, scheduled for THIS Wednesday, at 12:30.  Please RSVP if you would like to attend.  We hope you can join us!
     Special thanks to Jim O'Donnell, Maggie Rael, Marie Engle, and Nina Silverberg for their donations of time and energy in our classroom.  It's wonderful to have your support!
Thank you,
Kelly

This week is the final week for in-class work on the New Mexico brochure project.  Ask your child about which point of interest they are researching. Thanks!

Happy Halloween!

      Thanks to everyone who helped make our Halloween celebration such a big success!  The costumes were fantastic and the kiddos really had a ball.  Ask them about the puzzle pumpkin, or the 'off limits' vocabulary game!
     We hope to see everyone again this Tuesday night, Nov. 5th from 6:30 to 7:30 for our Explora Science night, where "Hands On" is the magic word! :)
