Third and
Fourth Grade News
December 13,
2013
Hello, Parents! This week has been a fun
one! We had a blast today at the School
of Economics. Thank you for all the
parental help we received. I will post
pictures next week! The kiddos have learned SO much!
Basketball games for tonight are canceled
because of inclement weather.
The students have Christmas musical
practice this Saturday from 9-11 a.m. The performance will be this
Sunday, December 15 at 6 p.m. Students are asked to meet in their
homerooms at 5:30.
Next Thursday is our FUN day! All
students in grades K-8 (home-school included) will head to Lunar Bowl for a
Christmas Party! If your child is interested in attending, they will need
to wear tennis shoes (in lieu of getting bowling shoes) and bring in $4.
You’re welcome to come and bowl, too! Each bowler just pays $4. Students
may bring money to purchase snacks, but we’ll leave that up to your discretion.
Thursday afternoon, students in grades
1-6 will head out to area nursing homes and sing Christmas carols to their
residents. Grades 3 and 4 are headed to Waterford Nursing Home by Railroad
Park. We need drivers for both events,
so if you are able to help out, please email me. Thank you!
On Friday, please have your child wear
PJs to school (and tennis shoes). Your
child may also bring a pillow and/or blanket, and we will be having our Polar
Express party. There will be snacks and
hot chocolate…and the movie Polar Express.
Christmas break begins at 1:00
next Friday! Don’t forget to pick up your child early!
Here is what we have been up to this
week:
Religion-This week, we found out who Gideon was and talked
about how God sent many prophecies that foretold Jesus birth.
Language Arts-Third graders read a story about a science fair and fourth graders read a true story about the 1906 San Francisco earthquakes called, “The Earth Dragon Awakes.” In English, we talked more about adjectives. We began cursive too: “e” and “l”.
Math-This week, the third graders continued to work with money and
time. Fourth graders finished up their unit about graphs and will test on
Tuesday. Next week, we will get caught
up on math. We spend several of our math
periods this week getting ready for School of Economics, which is quite a bit
of math too!
P.E.-We are continuing to learn basketball skills. We
scrimmaged this week and had some fun putting our skills to work!
Music- We are working on songs for the Christmas Pageant
and they sound great!!!
Art-using our writing prompts from last week, we are now taking those
words we wrote down about ourselves and using them to decorate a silhouette of
ourselves. These are beautiful! These will be coming home soon for
you to enjoy!
