Sept 1st

Happy September everyone!!

Don't forget book orders are due this Friday.

PTA has a meeting tomorrow night at 7.

Spelling test is this Friday.  Spelling homework is due tomorrow.  This includes the bottom section about sorting into the different categories.

This Friday is the kick off assembly for fundraising!

In math we have been learning about rays, lines, line segments, concave and convex polygons, and parallelograms.  Ask your child to explain what these are!

In reading we have been learning about the life of Peter Hatcher in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.  The kids seem to really enjoy it.  Today we read about Fudge's birthday party.  Ask your child why Peter calls Fudge Fang now!  

I am going to be sending a survey home soon about fundraising and going to Earthworks.  This is a field trip that we have gone on for several years now.  The cost is $20 per student.  I personally do not feel comfortable asking a parent to pay $20 for a field trip no matter how educational and important it is.  I know that budgets are tight for several parents, myself included.  Any ideas for fundraisers to pay for EarthWorks would be greatly appreciated.  Please feel free to email me or leave comments so other parents can chime in!  http://www.lx.org/ is the website for EarthWorks.  There is tons of information there about the program.

Thank you for being such a great group of parents to work with!!!
