Reflections:
We had a very busy week. We are learning about teeth in Science, and government during Social Studies.
Important Dates:
4-28-10 3rd and 4th grade Olympics
5-03 to 5-07 Book Fair: buy one, get one free
5-05-10 $1.00 Dress Down Day
5-07-10 Pancake Breakfast with Principal
5-26-10 Yearbook signing party
5-28-10 Last day of school
New Info:
Our classroom desperately needs pencils, facial tissue, and disinfectant wipes. We do NOT have enough of these items to last for the rest of the year. Please send these items to school as soon as possible. Thank you to those of you who have already helped us.
The Book Fair will soon be here. It is a wonderful even! For every book purchased, students and parents can get another one free.
Students should wear athletic shoes on Wednesday for the Olympics.
Reminders:
As we have studied ancient Rome and Greece, and we are currently studying American government, we will use our new knowledge to establish our own country within our classroom. When this is complete, we will are having a 3rd and 4th grade Olympics on 4-28-10. Students in each class will compete against the other classes in events. Students may win medals for their “country”. Unfortunately, there is not sufficient room for parents to attend. This is a student event only.
As the weather is getting warmer, I recommend that all students bring a water bottle to school. They may keep it on their desk.
Spelling list schedule:
Week: 4-05-10 list 26
4-12 10 no list due to AIMS testing
4-19-10 list 27
4-26-10 list 28
Students should be reading a minimum of 1 hour a week. Each reading session should be recorded on the reading log, and submitted to me on Friday.
I encourage you to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. You may call the school to set up an appointment, or email me at mpelchy@cox.net. View my blog at http:mrspelchy.blogspot.com/ for
