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 4th grade) words the day before.  They will air the Pledge on the 30th, and may air the Declaration Independence on July 4th.  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.
 Science:  Keep working on those experiments!!  Remember that the complete project is due Monday morning May 6.  They need to be able to explain what they learned.
Social Studies:  The passport test is April 25th. 

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 “4th 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)

Homework for this week is:
Bible verse:  1 Corinthians 15: 2-6  (Again!)
Reading:   20 minutes per day. 
Math: Math facts:  We are concentrating on 0-5 DIVISION facts this week.
Science:  This is the last week of Science Impossibilities until after the Science Fair.
