From Fairy Tales to Famous Figures:
Exciting Classroom Learning Ahead
Exciting Classroom Learning Ahead
Students have wrapped up their fairy tale writing and had a wonderful time sharing their stories with their Kindergarten buddies. Since returning from April break, they have been researching famous figures, selecting one person to study, and developing a claim about them. For example, a student might argue that Tom Brady is the greatest football player of all time and then use facts from their research to support that opinion.
We will continue this research and writing work for the remainder of the school year. Students will present their projects through a poster and a living wax museum on Tuesday, June 9th. Families are invited to attend between 8:15 and 9:00 AM. Please mark your calendars. If you’re unable to join us, we will take photos to share.
You’ll also notice that students are bringing home important information about upcoming field trips. Fourth graders, in particular, have several forms that need to be completed. We’re looking forward to many exciting activities as we wrap up a wonderful school year!

Remember Friday Notebooks!
Please make a note on your family calendar to send your child’s Friday notebook to school each Friday (or earlier if possible!). It means so much to your child to read your response and write back to you. They truly look forward to that connection every week.
