4th Grade Biography Day
Fourth grade has traditionally had a "Biography Day", where students dressed up as an important person from history. This year we are going to do things a little bit differently (I did give the kids a little sneak peek)! Specific information and dates will be coming home after Spring Break...follow this blog to get the scoop!
I just wanted to give you a heads up, so if your child is inclined to read over the break (they should because they enjoy reading!), he/she may want to choose a simple biography to read. The "Who Is ___?" or "Who Was ___?" series are good ones to use for the project. We will be doing most of the project in class, starting in mid-April.

Third Trimester
It's hard to believe we are already in the last trimester of this year...where has the time gone?!!? Please keep in mind...this trimester is far shorter than the second--roughly 2.5 months vs. 4 months!! We've got a lot planned for the last part of the year. With the shorter trimester [& throw state testing in...], it's important for your child to stay focused--in class & on doing quality work--until the very end.
AR goals are set and due May 24th.
State Testing
State testing will be coming up in late April/early May. Please try not to schedule any appointments or family vacations during the last week of April and the first two weeks in May. It really makes it difficult for the kids to make up their tests.
