Dear Parents,

Thank you for all of your support at McTeacher night.  I have determined that I like being a princess !  I also figured out what I will be for the spirit day when we dress up as “create your own superhero”, January 16^th.  I will be a Princess/Fairy god-mother/Superhero J.  But, seriously, we do appreciate all your patience at McDonalds and contributions to our ministry here at CCA.

Homework:

Spelling: Lesson 4 workbook and test are both Friday.

Math:  3x’s - We will practice 2’s and 3’ and the reverse in class again this week.  (As an example 3x7 AND 7x3) We will add 4’s by Thursday. Quizzes on mixed facts almost daily.  When they become accustomed to the procedure they are more successful.  

Imaginary Country- Due today!!! They are turning out very well.  Look at all our creativity in the hall later this week. 

Passport: The new map went home today.  The test in October is  31^st.  We will find all these on our class atlas’s and locate them on our individual laminated maps that they keep in their AC, but the primary study time is at home. 

Science: We are learning the names of the major bones in the body- ask them to show you their phalanges, and metatarsals,  and help them see their scapula in the mirror when they are getting ready for a shower.  They should also be able to show you a pivot joint, a ball-and-socket joint, and a hinge joint.  I have attached a study sheet to this letter.

Reading- Average 20 minutes per day- Turn in the September calendar on October 1^st or 2^nd for full credit.  The Pizza Hut Read Your Heart Out campaign starts today.  I have attached the monthly calendar to this letter.

  

Bible Verse: Isaiah 40:8

October 17^th and 18^th No School (Professional Development)

Dear Parents,

We will be on the radio, KCMS 105.3,  between 6:30 and 6:45 on April 30!  We are recording the Pledge of Allegiance and the Declaration of Independence (with 4^th grade) words the day before.  They will air the Pledge on the 30^th, and may air the Declaration Independence on July 4^th.  Be sure and tune in!

A few things to remember:

Writing:  The science fair REPORT is due next Monday, April 29.  It needs to include an introductory paragraph and three to five more paragraphs with information about the student’s topic.

Mrs. Dennis and I have scheduled a trip on the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad for June 6.  We are going to ride an old fashion steam train for about 1 ¼ hours through the country side to Milburn.  Look up steamtrainride.com  for more information.  We will bring a picnic and leave CCA at about 10:30.  We need chaperones!!!  You will need to pay your own fare (to CCA) of $4.00.  Please email me if you can accompany us.

 A note from Mrs. Fennell: "The Spring Concert is Monday, May 13th, and I thought I'd give you a head start on the students CONCERT ATTIRE:

4-6 Will be wearing black on the bottom (skirts on girls) and bright colors on top (ties on the guys.)

7-8 Will be wearing ALL black (dresses or skirts on girls, no short lengths) with neon accessories, and ties on the guys.

If your child has outgrown their dress clothes and you'd like to re-purpose them, you may send them in to me, washed, on hangers, and ready to wear. If your child is in need of concert clothes, call me at (360) 493-2223 ext. 108.

Dear Parents,

Science Fair news:  We are reviewing bibliographies, topic paragraphs , paragraph structure, report structure, and  gathering facts for our research project this week.  I have told the kids that the report may be typed if they do the keyboarding,  otherwise it is to be hand written.  We also talked about using “4^th grade words”.  I told them that copying someone else’s words was called plagiarism and was illegal.  They immediately wanted to know if they would be arrested!  (Fourth graders are so literalJ)
