Fall Festival

Our Fall Festival is around the corner!

 Mrs. Price's class will be working the Bean Bag Toss booth along with Mrs. Hahn's class.

*Mrs. Hahn's class would like to take care of the afternoon shift.. so we need volunteers from 10:30am until 1pm. See the schedule below for spots that are still open**

 All we need to do is take tickets and run the game/booth.

No money will be exchanging just tickets.

I need your help volunteering for 30 minutes or longer if possible.

Here are the times. Please let me know what works for you.

I know we are all busy but please try to give us 30 minutes of your day.

You and your kids will have a blast!

September 15th

We are half way through the first nine weeks and are off to a great start!  Progress reports will go home next Wednesday.

Reading:  Continue to read every night for at least 30 minutes and complete the reading log.

Science:  We are studying weather forecasting, weather instruments, and clouds. 

Spelling:  Next week we will be on Sort 6.  The spelling contract is a great way to practice writing the words.  This is to be completed every week and the students should be earning 100 points each week.  Your child may work on this at home if needed.  If they do not have their spelling folder, the words are on the Fourth Grade Blog and there is a link below for the list of spelling assignments.

Reminders:

**Please initial your child's reading log and sign the planner nightly.
