December 4th

Good Afternoon,

We have made it to December and can't complain to much about the weather! The students have been working very hard this quarter on many different activities. The next few weeks will be very busy in the 4th grade. The students will continue working on their literature circles with the 5th graders and begin researching their author to develop a powerpoint presentation. This past week we began reading Mr. Popper's Penguins in class. The students are enjoying this book along with the activities that come with it! Friday I sent home a Reader's Theater Script for the students that we will present the last week before Christmas break. We are continuing our normal studies focusing on Kids At Work this week in reading. This unit relates to students doing their part to see our environment continues to stay clean. The students will continue working on the SE Region brochures as well. Each week during December we will work on different Christmas related activities to prepare for the holiday!! Just a reminder to make sure your child is bringing proper clothing for the cooler weather. Also, the Christmas concert is slated for this coming Thursday at 7pm!

Happy Holidays!!

Ms. Knudson
