No School on Monday, September 3rd. 

QUESTION: Why do we celebrate Labor Day?
Think about this question, we will be discussing the answers in class.

Winner !

Ethan N. was the proud winner of this adorable little monkey.  Each week, students who have perfect attendance for the week are entered into a drawing to win a stuffed animal. 

All students who have perfect attendance for the week are given an animal card to add into a collection.  This is a great way to promote the importance of being at school. 

Editable Plant Cell

 We enjoyed learning about Plant Cells this week.  So----as a special treat---Ms. Haylee sent us an editable plant cell cake. All the parts of the cell were even labeled! WOW. Thank you for this delicious treat.  I love to make learning FUN!!!.

"Good Citizens" for the month of August

 

Congratulations to Maddison M. and Hannah S. for being selected Good Citizen of the Month.  Both of these girls exhibited great respect for themselves and others, as well as, following all of the rules.  Great job girls.



We had a great first day of school! The children were very well behaved. I am so proud of them all. This morning we all enjoyed a special treat from one of our parents. We all got personalized apple cookies. YUMMY!! Thank you Ms. Haley.

First day of school is Monday, August 20th.
Remember you are late after 8!

Important Information

Parents,
This is an example of what the 3 ring binder looks like.  This binder is very important and must be looked through each night for homework assignments and study notes.

Parents,

Mrs. Wilson and I have both sent out a copy of this letter to each of you. 

Please return the enclosed Student Information sheet during open house.

     Welcome to Fourth Grade! We are excited about having you in our classes! As you can see, Fourth Grade is a little different than Third Grade, because we do many things as a team of teachers. Mrs. Lamberth teaches Math, Science, and Alabama History to all students, and Mrs. Wilson teaches Reading, Language, and Spelling to all students. We change classes in the middle of the day and at the end of the day. Fourth Grade is a time when students should be responsible for their work. Please encourage your child to keep up with his or her own work and help them get organized in order to do this. This is the time for students to take responsibility for their own behavior, actions, materials, and homework. We have set up a Fourth grade blog that you can check throughout the year for news, assignments, slide shows from special events, and more information: www.yes4thgrade.blogspot.com.

We invite you to the Meet and Greet Open House on Thursday, August 16, 2012. There will be a meeting with Mrs. Thomas at 2:30 in the auditorium, then Fourth Grade parents and students will meet in the auditorium at 4:30 for a brief meeting. We will be available from 3pm. to 4:30p.m. to meet you personally in our classrooms. We hope students and parents will enjoy the scavenger hunt we have planned. We will send a booklet with you at the meet and greet that will give more information about Fourth Grade. Please bring supplies and the $20 supply donation during this time. You may also pay for lunch money, order a school T-shirt, pay PTO dues, and tour the school.

Please complete the enclosed form and bring it with you to Meet and Greet. We look forward to meeting you and getting to know more about you this year!

Sincerely, Fourth Grade Teachers
