Miss Zelle's Fourth Grade: May 2013

Sunday, May 19, 2013

Last week updates!

This is your child's last week in fourth grade! What a year!!! Thank you again for all of your help and support to make this a wonderful year!

We are filming book projects Monday and Tuesday this week. Make sure your child has drawn a picture from the book, written a summary, told why they recommend it, and has given it stars (1-5), and told why they gave it that many stars.

Writing projects and writer's notebooks were finished last week, and will be coming home this week with your child.

Math grades and centers have been finished up for the year also.

Report cards will be coming home in email for this quarter!

We will be having fun switches this week, where your child will have an opportunity to work with all of the fourth grade teachers.

By Wednesday at the latest all desks will be cleaned out and students will have brought home all of their belongings.

Thursday is the last day, and it is a half day. Students should not bring anything with them Thursday, this includes a back pack! We will have an awards ceremony in the gym and fly up on Thursday. Then only a short time together for a final activity in our classroom before students will be considered 5th graders!

Thanks again for a wonderful year!!!

Popcorn day

Tomorrow will be popcorn day! I will bring in cinnamon sugar popcorn, caramel popcorn, butter popcorn and plain popcorn for your child to chose from! Yum!!!

Field trip

Don't forget to pack a sack lunch, wear tennis shoes, and bring an umbrella in case of rain! We will be leaving Sappington at 9:00 a.m. We expect to be back no later than 1:30! Thank you to all of our parent chaperones! If you plan to ride the bus, come in at 8:50. If not, meet us at the first Capitol building in St. Charles. Don't forget to bring your $6 for tours if you are a parent joining us! Our tour begins at 10:00 a.m. We will leave there to take our Lewis and Clark boathouse tour at 11:00 a.m. Then the bus will come back to get us at 12:00 to eat in the open grass area by the first Capitol from 12:00-12:30. We will head back to Sappington after. If it is raining, we will return to Sappington after our second tour and eat in the classroom. Thanks so much!

Also, when we get back students may eat gum!

Writer's notebooks are due tomorrow!

No school Friday!
