Dear Students and parents:
So far the 4th graders are working very hard. They have welcomed the challenges of 4th grade with open minds! I am so proud of them, too. We need to work on not chatting during transition time. Changing tasks quickly will ensure that we have the required time for each subject. When this happens we can get more time in to complete work so that it does not have to go home! I know that students AND parents will like that !
Saints: This year our school is focusing on Saints as Prayer Partners. Each class will choose a saint for their class. We will also be choosing a Saint for each student in my class. If your child's name is a Saint name they should choose that saint. If not they can choose a saint of their choice. Start looking now.
ITBS Testing will be starting in two weeks. PLEASE make sure your child gets to bed early to get a good nights sleep. Also, make sure they have a full breakfast. Thank you!
Upcoming dates:
