Welcome Back!

CNE fourth graders had a great first day in our new home away from home! Parents need to finish their homework (all of that paperwork) and students should choose a realistic fiction book to read for their first literature projects due on Sept. 24-only four weeks away!

Realistic Fiction is

• a form of fiction (not true)

• accurately reflects life as it could be lived today
  

• everything in the story could happen to real people living in our natural physical world
  

• the characters have normal human powers
  

• story may be set in real places, but the story is NOT based on history, nor does it contain elements of science fiction

Do NOT choose Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing or Because of Winn Dixie as we will read them in class.
Click here or here for a list of titles that fit this genre.

Getting Closer

Don't forget, Rock & Roll Forever is this Thursday at 6:30! With a dash of Ed Sullivan, a sprinkle of Elvis and a whole lot of fourth graders, we're in for a really good show (shoe)!

All library books need to be returned to school pronto!

We're still working on fractions, chemical and physical changes and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
