Believe it or not, we are almost 3/4 of the way the way through 4th grade!

Here are a few updates and reminders for our last week before Spring Break.

As I mentioned in the last update, we will celebrate the end of our integrated reading/writing/social studies unit with a student created Civil Rights Museum. Students have chosen topics or questions to study and create a museum display to teach others about their topic. The museum will be Thursday March 14th from 10-11:30. We hope you can join us!

Thank to the generosity of our PTA we will have an in school field trip to wrap up our rocks and minerals unit, at NO COST TO STUDENTS. Students will get to see lots of geodes and fossils and crack their own geodes to keep.

If we get word that the trip has been approved before break we will send home more info, including final cost. If not, please look for it soon after we come back. If you are interested in chaperoning this trip you may go ahead and complete the background check.

Also, many students headphones haven't made it this far in the year. If your child needs a new set, Mrs. Lovingood has earbuds available at the school store for $1.
