Sorry for the delay!

It has been a while since my last post.  Life has been fast and furious lately, but also pretty fantastic! 

Mrs. Lee came into our classroom and taught us a lesson using the Dr. Seuss book The Sneetches.  She also challenged the students to say something to nice to someone every single day.  I have noticed many students being kind to one another and I think it's great! 

We finished learning about all of our different body systems and drawing in our bodies.  The kids had a lot of fun with this project and learned all sorts of different things about how our bodies work.  I encourage you to ask them about their body systems and see what they can tell you.

 

 

The kids also enjoyed an awesome concert by Morgan Frazier.  It was so kind of her to take her time to come to our school and talk to our students about the dangers of bullying and how deep bullying can hurt another person.  The kids sang her songs loudly with her and it was so neat to hear all of their voices together.  Below is a short video clip from our concert.

 

This week we are celebrating Red Ribbon Week.  We are proud to be a drug-free school and encourage all of our students to just say "no" to drugs.  Wednesday is hat day, Thursday is costume day (remember, no gory costumes or face paint that can be easily smeared please), and Friday is RED day instead of our usual Black and Gold day.  Next Friday, November 8th there will be a school-wide contest to see which room has the most students wearing Black and Gold.

Important Notes:

*Our Halloween party will be this Thursday morning from 10:30-11:40.  Ashton, Erin, Gretta, and Alexis all signed up to bring treats.  Elijah signed up to bring cups and beverages and Reese signed up to bring paper plates.  I am looking forward to a fun morning with our students.

*All Veteran's Day essays are due on Friday of this week.  Please help to ensure your child will have them ready to turn in on November 1!

*Next week, all students will need to come to school with a great breakfast because it is WKCE testing.  The fourth grade is a big year for students and WKCE testing scores because the state takes an extra close look at the knowledge of fourth graders.  Our students will have more testing than the third and fifth grade students.  This is true every year.  Please encourage your son or daughter to do their best and to take these tests seriously.  Also, please do everything you can in your power to make sure your son or daughter stays healthy and is in the building for these tests.  Attendance is of the utmost importance!  Because of all of the testing next week, the teachers are putting some extra efforts into making our afternoons fun for kids.  The mornings will be for testing, but the afternoons will be for fun or enrichment type activities. 

*Book orders are due on Friday, November 8.

Have an awesome rest of the week!
