Dear Parents,
What an amazing day of poetry. Thank you for coming to Coffee House Poetry. The children had a fabulous performance. What a joy it is to see weeks of hard work culminate into this event. Thank you to Sarah and Christi for decorating the room and for the treats for the kids’ after party.
Book Buddies
4th graders are responsible for bringing books on December 7th to share with their 1st grade Buddy. Students may bring their book in as early as Monday. If your child needs help finding books that are appropriate for their Buddy, they can ask to look through my books.
Character Counts
Our December Character Counts word is flexible. Flexible is understanding that things do not always go according to plan, and that is ok.
Robolab Sign Up
From Jenn Smith:
Welcome to a new year of Robolab! This fall, your 4th graders will learn how robots use sensors to navigate their environments - including extraterrestrial ones. We’ll use Lego EV3 kits to build, program, and customize planetary rovers, then test them in our Planetary Exploration Lab.
Parent volunteers help make Robolab even more fun for everyone. You do not need to know anything about Legos or programming; you only need to encourage the students to solve problems and supervise them while they build, program, and test their creations. Note: You will need to be registered as a volunteer through RRISD.
Mrs. Babbitt’s Robolab is Thursday, December 6th.
Follow this link to sign up to volunteer!
