A Big Bite

 

Good afternoon!

MCAS is done and the final countdown is on!  What a year it has been. :)

We will be starting some enrichment math projects for the last few weeks of school.  Nightly homework will contain a review of the skills that we have learned this year.  The children are LOVING Charlotte’s Web!  They especially enjoy “reader’s theater.”  Ask your child all about it! Writer’s workshop involves individual writing projects and completing some final poems.  We have been studying the southeast and will move on to the Midwest next week. 

Stay tuned for details about the “Fourth Grade Country Fair Week,” which will include daily spirit days and fair events for the week of June 14-18.  We have been taking suggestions and ideas from the students and are developing a plan to have the end of this incredible year be memorable for the students. We have requested a donation of individual pies from Table Talk pies, in Worcester, MA.  We are hopeful that this will happen, but if it does not, there will be a day when students can have a pie (any kind: fruit, Whoopie, pizza, etc.) as an additional snack in the afternoon. In lieu of the traditional Tie Dye Tuesday celebration, we are going to have the students decorate a t-shirt for the fair and we are asking that you provide your cold with a t-shirt for this activity.  It does not need to be a new t-shirt as the students will be drawing on them with Sharpies.  Also, we are in need of a few supplies to borrow for the fair activities.  If you have any of these items and would be willing to let us borrow them, we promise that you will get the items back at the end of the week. 

 Here are our requests:

Plastic eggs-10

Wooden/Flat  Spoons (to carry the eggs)-5

A Hobby Horse or two 

A rocking sheep

Burlap Sacks-4

Thank you in advance for any help that you can give.
