Progress reports go home this week!

We are in our 5th week of school and I can't believe it. We're moving right along with our learning and this week will be no different. If you didn't catch the shout out for our 4th graders on the news last week, be sure to look at the blog post right before this one for the link.

Reminders:

- Progress Reports go home on Thursday. Please remember that these are not final grades. This is a notice so that your children can correct any grades below a 70, turn in any missing work, and work harder to improve their grades before the end of the 9 weeks.

- The 2nd Annual WBE 4th Grade Multiplication Bee is quickly approaching. Every class will have a Multiplication Bee on Thursday, September 29th. The two winners from each class will face off against the winners from the other classes on Friday, September 30th. Bragging rights are on the line!!!!

- Please sign up for a Fall Conference using this form. All conferences will be held on Monday, October 10th, unless you are unable to make it that day. I will work with you to find a time that better suits you, if needed.

- We are in need of hand sanitizer. Any donations are appreciated.

- Snack donations are appreciated as well. Not all students are able to bring a snack and I have found that students who are hungry, aren't learning. Good snack donations include goldfish, graham crackers, or any other crackers that are easy to pass out. Snacks may not include peanuts or peanut butter of any kind.

- This week we will be visiting the Science Lab on Friday from 9-9:40. We will also be visiting the Computer Lab on Friday from 1:45-2:30. If you would like to come and assist us during either of those times, please let me know. We have been visiting the Science Lab every week and I usually know by Tuesday the plan for the following week. If you are unable to help this week but might want to help in either the Computer Lab or Science Lab in the future, let me know and I will keep you informed.
