9-4-12-  Hello.  The Entertainment books or the money for purchased books is due tomorrow.  I did not get all the Friday folders back today.  Please initial and send back tomorrow, if you have not done so.  I am giving students one more day on Scholastic book orders.  Some of the students told me they had orders but forgot to bring them today.  Long weekends are hard!  Please make sure your child is doing the required reading for their reading calendar and it is being logged and turned in.  Have a good week.

8-28-12  Hello.  Please remind your child that we have a Spelling test over Unit 1 tomorrow.  I gave students Scholastic book order forms for September.  Orders are due next Tuesday, September 4th.  We are still finishing up Chapter 1 in Religion.  There will be a take home quiz over the chapter after we finish our study of The Creation.  I am still waiting on $5 for planners from some of the students.  Please send that in if you haven't done so.  Also, please make sure your child is doing the required reading and logging it on their Reading calendars.  Thanks.

Welcome to the new school year.  This is my first chance I have had to blog.  These are busy times.  I am enjoying getting to know your children.  I think they are all meeting new friends and adapting to the changes 4th grade brings.  We are starting the year off in Religion with The Creation.  I am teaching the students how to use the Bibles to do searches.  They have been shown how the Bible is divided into the Old and New Testaments.  They have also been shown all the books of each part.  They now understand how the numbers stand for Chapters and Verses.  We opened our Religion books and started reading Chapter 1.  There will be a short quiz over Chapter 1 when we finish our study of it.
