11-7-12 Daily Update

 
Parents,
Thank you once again for the great conference attendance.  I truly appreciated you taking the time out of your busy schedules to meet with me to discuss your child.  Of course, the dialogue does not need to end there.  If you ever have a concern or question, please just let me know via a note, e-mail, or phone call.

The students will be starting playing the recorder in Music class soon.  A letter from Mrs. Lee went home about this asking for either money to purchase a recorder or a signed slip saying that your child can provide one of their own (possibly from an older sibling).  If your child is not able to afford the recorder, please let me know and I can see that your child has this expense covered.

The other 4th grade teachers and I were considering our Spelling list and have decided to make a change to the next two test dates to try to get to the review unit test before Thanksgiving break.  So, our next tests will be as follows:

Lesson 10  - Tues. Nov. 13
Unit 2 Review - Tues. Nov. 20



Reminders:
  • The Scholastic Book Fair is still going on - if you haven't yet, go check it out!
