SHORT WEEK DEC 17-20

Just a reminder that next week is the last school days of the year. It has flown by and we are so amazed at how quick it went.

There will be a spelling test on L15, Thursday, Dec 20th in the morning.

The SONG OF THE BROOK book reports should all have been handed in today but if your child hasn't completed his/hers make sure it is turned in on Monday.

Character Suitcase book report will be due on Jan 4th, 2008. The kids brought home the instruction sheet today, Friday, and know the requirements. If you have any questions feel free to email me at victorialhess@yahoo.com and I will be glad to explain the project in detail. I will also post a blog that goes into more depth next week.

Wednesday Mrs. Harris will be delivering the gifts to our "adopted family" so please bring in items by Tuesday so they can be wrapped. As a reminder the girl is seven years old and the boy is nine. Thanks for all that has been donated already...what a blessing this class will bestow on this precious family.

The History test that covered 3 chapters has been graded and everyone in the class received an A. Awesome job!!! Please ask you child how they did because they were so proud of their accomplishment, it was a long test. (5 pages). The tests have been returned to the students.

30 minutes a night

Just a reminder:

Your child is suppose to read 30 minutes a night. Each student has been assigned a historical novel and will be doing a "report" about their person which will be due after returning from Christmas break.

They can read this assigned book or another of their choice for their required 30 minutes per night.

Please check your child's reading progress on the Historical person book...it is important that they feel it is as important to you that they read as it is to us.

Thanks for all your help and support.

Christmas Family

The fourth grade is gathering gifts for a family of 3.

The girl is 7 and the boy is 9. The mom is a size 6.

If you would like to make any donations please feel free to drop them off at the classroom.

The class will also be preparing a meal to deliver to this family next week. They are so excited to be able to help and share the spirit of the true meaning of Christmas.

Ask your child about this family. I am sure if they haven't shared with you already, they will be more than happy to talk about them and what they would like to do to help them out. Their enthusiasm is contagious.
