Week of May 12th


Thank you very much for all of the thoughtful gifts during the week. Everything from the flowers to to the recipes, and yummy cookies made my day/week! I cannot wait to try some of the yummy recipes! I look forward to purchasing tickets to a Brewers game and Brew Crew gear with the EXTREMELY generous gift card from the class! Thank you for such a wonderful year! I am truly blessed to have been able to work with  26 intelligent, fun, spunky, and thoughtful fourth graders. I could not have asked for a better class and families to work with this year!




 
 
Please be sure to send in a picture of your child from 4K (or around that time) to Amy Blair by Thursday, May 15th. Her email is ablair1003@gmail.com . The photo will be used for a slideshow during the Moving On Ceremony. Bring your tissues!!!

Our final MAPS testing of the year begins next week! Our class will test on Tuesday the 13th and 20th from 11-12.

On Friday we established our nonfiction book club groups. Students are responsible for finding their clubs reading materials. This may require students to bring in nonfiction reading from home or trips to the public library.

We had a fabulous trip to Lapham Peak for the all school field trip. Who would've thought students would be saying "I'm sooo hot" and "I am sweating!" this spring after the winter we had. Third and fourth graders helped with a  service project which to help fill in areas near the steps by the Lapham Peak tower with limestone. It was quite the site to see all 100 plus students working together for such a great cause! Below are a few pictures from the day. Make sure you stop by the room during the Celebration of learning on the 15th to read our classroom newspaper about the events!
