Weekly Update

 Hello Parents,

How are we down to our final two weeks together?! I cannot believe the amount of growth I have seen in your children. This year has been challenging at times with 30 students, but your children made the best of it! They are extraordinary young adults and made coming into school this year easy for me! I am looking forward to a fun filled last 10 days! 

End of Year Activities:

Fourth grade will be having “theme days” for the month of June. There will be various activities and events to make the end of the year memorable and exciting. Please be sure to read the email I sent on May 17th for more information! Thank you everyone for donating to our wishlist! We have received everything! 

End the the Year Party:

Mrs. Jones is at work planning our end of the year Hollywood themed party. She has put together a permission slip for you to sign to give your child permission to eat the food that will be served at the party. Mrs. Jones will be serving cheese pizza from Dominos and cupcakes from Giant. If you do not fill out the permission slip, your child will be able to participate in the party, but will not be able to eat any of the food. If you would rather provide your child a lunch or have them purchase a school lunch, they can do that instead. Here is the permission slip for you to fill out:

June Days:

This coming week begins the fun and exciting events of our June days! We will reveal each afternoon with the class what the next day's special activity is. As a reminder this is a surprise so please do not tell your child! If you did tell your child, please remind them not to ruin the surprise for the others. Unfortunately, I have had to have this conversation with several students already. The element of surprise is part of the fun! 

Capstone Student:

This Monday, June 3rd is our last day with our Capstone Student Ms. Balaji. The class has enjoyed working with her and having her as a part of our class family! Ms. Balaji will be attending Virginia Tech this Fall. I have invited the students to make cards and notes for her as a way to show our appreciation. If your child would like to make her a card or letter, please make sure they bring that with them on Monday. 

The Duck Challenge:

We are earning our ducks and the class is loving the challenge! 

Focus Areas for Next Week:

•  Writing: We will wrap up poetry. 

• Math:  We will begin our Geometry Unit.

• VA Studies: We will continue quickly working through the final chapter,  Chapter 8- Reconstruction!

I hope you are able to enjoy your weekend and get some much needed time with your child! I will be on the ball field and trying to find some time to take my kiddos to the pool!
