Dear Parents,
What a wonderful surprise that appeared at my door this morning! The kiddos, Karen, and Lori surprised me with a birthday celebration! It was such a great start to the day and your cuties enjoyed a little cupcake treat at lunch too! It meant a lot to me that they thought to celebrate my summer birthday! Although our week was a short one, we have been very busy in 4th grade! We have wrapped up both our nonfiction text structure study and our expository essay in language arts, and we have completed several activities in science all while learning about animal and plant adaptations. We have worked hard and are looking forward to this long weekend before setting sail on our Cruise Write Along week next week! CRUISE WRITE ALONG We have a fun week planned for the students. In order to make this a memorable experience, our classroom has been transformed into a cruise ship/beach theme. Thank you to Supriya, Karla, Lori, Karen, Meg, and Melissa for helping to decorate. The room looks amazing and it went up in record time. Once again, I am so blessed by the support from wonderful CCE families! Students may bring beach towels, low sitting beach chairs, and already inflated floats on Monday, April 2nd to use while participating in our ship’s activities. Please make sure everything is labeled so that it may be returned to the rightful owner. Our room mom has provided Cabana snacks for the week, but students are welcome to bring their own snacks from home. Please pack lightly during the week as we will not be sending homework folders and planners home. There is really no need to bring backpacks during Cruise Write Along. Each day will be a theme dress up day. Monday - hat day Tuesday - tropical wear day (no swimsuits) Wednesday - flip flop day (ART day) Thursday - sunglasses READING LOG The final week of our nonfiction reading logs will be due on Friday, April 6th. Students were given a second National Geographic magazine to use for their final article analysis. FIELD TRIP Our field trip to the Meadows Center will be on Friday, April 6th. Students will need to bring a completely disposable sack lunch (including drinks). Please pack snacks separately from lunch as we will have snack before we leave school at 9:30. UPCOMING DATES: April 2-5 - Crusie Write Along April 6 - Meadow’s Center Field Trip April 10 - 4th Grade Writing STAAR UNITS OF STUDY: Cruise Write Along - expository writing and revising & editing skills Have a fabulous spring holiday!
