We Have a Spring in Our Step!

Dear Parents,

Another week in the books!  Our class has mastered area and perimeter, and we are truly enjoying our Newbery books.  The students have also been inspired by authors Amy Rosenthal and Tim Lichtenheld to write their own version of The OK Book.  Lastly, we have learned about life cycles of plants and animals.


Please make sure to turn in both the Symphony field trip and the Bob Bullock Museum field trip permission forms by Monday, April 22nd.  Please send in $11 with the museum field trip form (exact cash or check). The purple enrollment forms are due Wednesday, April 24th.


4th Grade Showcase
Please mark you calendars for May 16th.  Our Showcase will begin at 7:20am and end at 7:45am.  Students will lead this activity. Please purchase a stiff, white 22 x 28 poster board (not foam board) by April 24th for one of our Showcase projects.  Thank you!!


Volunteer Breakfast
Mark your calendars for the CCE Volunteer Breakfast on May 7th from 7:10am to 8:00am in the library.  If you have volunteered at CCE this school year, please join the fourth grade teachers for breakfast on us!
