Dear Parents,
We've enjoyed another week of learning! We spent time in the library with Ms. Bamford refining our iPad skills to support our learning of nonfiction text features. A huge thank you to the 5th grade parents for providing lunch for all the staff at our Friday Feast. It was delicious as always and such a treat!
DENIM DRIVE: Fourth grade kicks off Denim Drive on Monday! All items collected will go to the RRISD Clothes Closet. We are hoping to collect a least 300 items this year. A BIG thank you to Julie May for her presentation of how the Clothes Closet provides clothing for the less fortunate. At CCE, we care deeply, give generously, and help willingly. I am so proud of my students for all the work they have done to promote the Denim Drive. Many students made posters or created slide shows to show on the morning broadcast. Others have written little pep talks and are going to different classrooms to get other students excited about the Denim Drive. I'm excited to see how involved they are with this service project.
LIBRARY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM: The fall library enrichment program has begun! Again this week, students will show their progress toward reading all the required books. Just like last week, students must show me their library form on Friday.
LOOK FOR IT: Thank you to Ms. Zhao for volunteering to be our HR Parent this year. She will ensure a fun-filled, rich, and educational experience for your child. A letter came home in the Tuesday folder regarding our 4th grade events and activities. Please remember that your donations help provide supplies for our special events. We appreciate your support!
