Dear Parents,

We had another GREAT week in fourth grade! 

Important Information: 

• Our Field Trip to Columbia, California, is coming up on March 10. Start thinking about whether or not you will be able to come. This is a fun day trip, and the more parents who want to come, the merrier! I'll be sending out more information in the coming weeks, but start thinking about it.

  • • Chapter 6 on Monday

    • Chapter 7 on Tuesday

    • Half of ch. 8 on Wednesday

    • Half of ch. 8 on Thursday 

    • Writing on Friday

If your child misses a day of school, they will need to catch up on the missed reading on their own. Here is a playlist of read-alouds. There are chapter quizzes the day after we read the chapter in class. We read ch. 3 on Monday, so the quiz is Tuesday morning, and so on. 

• February 12 - Miner Day - This is a half-day where we plan some fun activities for the kids. 

• February 13 - As part of our deep hope, my fourth graders are learning how their unique gifts help them be co-workers of Christ with those around them. On February 13, as part of our Valentine’s Day celebration, we would love to bless the high school teachers by providing some treats in the teacher’s lounge. Some of my students have the gift of hospitality, some enjoy baking, and others are simply coming along to support the gifts of their classmates. I am intentionally trying to shape our class celebrations to be more about serving others and less about ourselves. Sign up here if you want to help with something. 

• Walk Through California - February 24th or 25th - Here is a link to the website if you're interested in learning more about it. - Your child came home with a Green Expert Word Card. They need to memorize this. 

• March 10 - We head to Columbia Gold Mining Town - All parents are welcome! More information coming later, but get this on your calendar!
