A few reminders:
Please be sure that you let us know the week before your child's birthday if you plan to send a special snack. Our days are packed full of teaching, learning, and Exploratory classes. We want to be able to schedule a special time for the birthday treat and some days work better than others due to our schedule. Also, please send napkins and plates for the treat if needed. We have limited supplies of these items in our rooms.

Remember that school starts at 8:10. The children should be unpacked and ready to begin work at that time. We change classes immediately following homeroom.

In Signed Paper folders, coming home today, there are several items for you to look over on the left-hand side. Be sure to sign the papers on the right and have your child return them on Monday. One of the grades included is the Reading Test for "The Gardener." If your child turned in his/her Summer Reading, bonus points have been added to this test.

If your child is absent, please make plans to get his/her work that day if possible. We also need a note explaining the absence.

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!
