June 4th Update

Wow! Can you believe that we only have one week left of school? It seems like only yesterday the students came in as new fourth graders, and now they are leaving, ready for fifth grade. We have experienced an amazing journey together as a class, and I will miss everyone over the summer! Let me give you the plans for next week:

Tuesday, June 8th - 20th Century Project Presentations:
Our fourth graders invite you to come see their culminating project on conflict and change. We have a special time set up for friends and family members to stop by, between 10:20-11am. Please feel free to stay for lunch, if you'd like. From noon to about 1:15pm, we will open up our classrooms to other elementary students and teachers so that they can view our projects.


Wednesday, June 9th - Friday, June 11th: These are early release days. Dismissal begins at 12:15pm.

Thursday, June 10th - 4th Grade Celebration:
We have sent home a request for each student to bring in one selected item for the hotdog picnic. The "festivities" will begin around 11am, and parents are welcome to come, help out, and enjoy the atmosphere. Feel free to turn in your donated item anytime before Thursday. I have a refrigerator in the classroom, and there is a freezer in the teacher's lounge to keep items cold.

Friday, June 11th - Last Day of School:
Students will leave school with their belongings (journals, notebooks, etc.), their final CBM data sheet, as well as their results of the SAT-10 test they took back in March. The fourth quarter report cards will be mailed to you a couple weeks after school is out.

Also, Friday, after dismissal, there are some End-of-Year Parties to attend, if your student is interested:

  • Katherine Robinson's family is throwing a pool party at their abode beginning at 1pm
  • Heston Humphries family also invites you to their home for a pool party, from 4-6pm
