We have been working very hard getting ready for our programs today. We will be performing for the other classes at school and of course the grandparents! I hope everyone can attend the evening performance. We have asked the students to look their best, so everyone can take great pictures to remember one part of their fourth grade year.

In math class we have completed and tested on chapter 2. Some of the students are still struggling with addition and subtraction with regrouping. Please continue to work on this at home in the evening. If you can only spend 15 minutes it still will help! We will be moving on to multiplication next week, but will review other concepts frequently.

This week in reading we have been incorporating a bit of Spanish with a historical fiction story entitled Coyote School News. The students have enjoyed listening, reading and learning a little bit of Spanish every day!

Reminders!

*Market Day orders have to be placed by this Saturday at noon. All profit will go directly to the fourth grade classrooms. This is one of the best ways you could help out our classrooms and you don't have to do anything, but order great food to eat! We can also use parent volunteers to help unload the trucks and sort the food:-)

*We are beginning to finalize pricing for the extended day trip to Camp Campbell Gard on May 20, 2009. The estimated cost of the trip is $50.00. This includes lunch and dinner. We will leave at approximately 8:45 and return that same evening at approximately 8:00.

*Washington D.C. deposits are due to Crosswell by December 1!
