for our troops

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING REALLY NICE

If you go to this website, http://www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It's FREE and it only takes a second.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's!

mitten sewing

I'm so proud of the wonderful job the students did sewing their big mittens today! The kids were able to sew on two buttons and they learned the whip stitch. Most students had time to learn how to thread a needle today as well.
A huge thanks to Dylan and Nicolette's grandmom, Eliza's mom, Ben's mom, and Thomas's mom for coming in and assisting the students. Thanks to all the 'at home' helpers and those of you that sent in supplies. Check out these mittens!

December 13-17

This week we have many exciting events in fourth grade.

Wednesday is the holiday concert - the students have been practicing their songs and are ready to perform! Students should arrive to school at 5:30 (no earlier), and come to the fourth grade classroom. Students should be dressed nicely and may wear Santa or Elf hats. The concert starts at 6pm. On Thursday, the students will be sewing a big holiday mitten in class. This has been a fourth grade tradition for 10 years now! Students will get to sew on a button and learn the whip stitch. The students will each bring 17 little items (due Friday) that I will 'stuff' into their mittens and they will bring home a mitten-full of little trinkets on Thursday, Dec. 23.

Wednesday - Science test-Chapter 4 Ecosystems
Thursday - Reading test -"Komodo Dragons"
