Pictures...FINALLY!

We've had a super first week of school. We have taken some pictures, but the computer is not cooperating with our attempts to post them on the blog. We will keep working on this!

Next week we will begin changing classes. The test and quiz schedule is:

Thursday- Reading Test over "The Gardener"

Friday- Spelling Test: Wordly Wise Lesson 1 words and Bible verse
            Math Quiz: Place Value; Students are expected to spell the
            place value names correctly. They will have a practice sheet
            in class on Monday that may be used for studying purposes.

Our Fourth Grade Moms who will serve as room mothers are April Beasley, Michelle Bridgeman, Candace Brown, Linda Bush, Amy Ethridge, Deborah Kelley, Kenya Owens, Charity Roberts, and Amie Robinson. We will be meeting with these moms in September to plan class parties. Thank you in advance!

Thank you to all of you who have sent in needed classroom items requested at Orientation. They will be put to good use this year!

A few reminders:

     ~ Boys shirts should be tucked in throughout the school day and they should have on a belt if the pants have belt loops.

     ~ The magazine sale began yesterday. Post card booklets may be turned in up to next Wednesday, August 24th.The first turn-in day is also Wednesday. The other turn-in dates are Wednesday, August 31st and September 7th. Let's all work together and reach the goal!!

Thank you! Thank you for using the carpool signs. It really helps us and makes the carpool line move quicker!

If you are available to help count magazine sales on Wednesdays and/or Fridays, please contact Jenny Stubbs at jmjstubbs@cox.net. It would just be a couple of hours ~ the more the merrier!

It's been a good Monday here in 4th Grade, and that is a great way to start our first full week of school.

Please continue working to make sure that books and workbooks are covered by Friday, August 19th.

Our email is still hit and miss. If you email us and don't receive a response, we may not have received it. You may still call the school, 477-6760, and Mrs. Cheek or Mrs. Joyner will relay any messages you have.

Thank you!!

We have had a super first two days of school. We are enjoying the children and look forward to a great year!

~ Carpool tags should be attached to the front visor or held up for us to see. These really help us to learn to identify you and your car from a distance. Thanks for your help with this.

~We worked on covering hardback books today. Unfortunately some of the book covers would not fit. If your child has any books that we were not able to cover today, we will send one or two books home each night to be covered.

Workbooks will need to be covered with clear contact paper. We are sending them home today. Please cover them this weekend if possible. Books and workbooks must be at school each day, so be sure they are sent back daily. Please have them all covered by Friday, August 19.

~All students need to have a chair bag. All of our books, workbooks, and other supplies will not fit in the desk. Please be sure your child has a bag by Monday.

~Students may have a water bottle if they would like one. Please send one with a sport top or some other top that will prevent spills. We will also have a time set aside each day for an afternoon snack. Your child may bring something that is quick and easy. Please do not send anything that will spoil if left overnight in the trash. Thanks!

~If you send lunch money for your child’s account in the lunchroom, please be sure it is in a labeled envelope or baggie. If part of the money is for a sibling in another class, the envelope should be labeled with the children’s names, the homeroom teacher’s name, and the amount that goes into each account.
