Q4- Let's finish the year strong!

Dear Fourth Grade Families,


We are into the fourth quarter of the school year.  Please help your scholar by watching for signs of "spring fever" so they can finish the year doing their best.  Checking planners and Campus shows them that education and learning are important to you.  June 6 will be here before you know it!

Boosterthon Fun Run - Friday, May 10th, noon - 1:00 p.m.

Spring Concert - May 16th - 7:15-8:15PM

Ms. Marchand:  Motion and Design - test on  Thursday, May 9th


Writing:  4th grade scholars will choose and research a notable 19th Century American.  Scholars were given the opportunity to choose a person to write a biography report on.  In addition to writing about this person, scholars will also be presenting information about them at our Biographical Gallery which you will be invited to next month (May 21).  Some of this information gathering may need to be done at home or at your local library.


Spelling:  The next spelling test will be May 10, List 28.

Ciao,

Mrs. German, mgerman@novaclassical.org

Scholastic Books has changed the ordering process.  You no longer need a code from your child's teacher.  They are using a process where you search for the school, then the teacher's name. If you would like to buy books through them, the teacher earns points which can be used for books or classroom materials.  All orders are now done online.  This is OPTIONAL, of course, and we appreciate your consideration.
