Week of April 21st

Good Morning!  We hope everyone had a beautiful Easter break. Our weather that we got to enjoy on Easter Sunday can definitely stay around- it was wonderful, the sun was actually warm!

We are going to start the 4th grade Family Life this week in religion.  In 4th grade, it is very easy, we discuss good nutrition, getting a good night's sleep, feelings, emotions, obeying rules, and giving gifts to the community.  We will watch some BrainPOPs that go along with the curriculum and complete some activities.

Also if each 4th grade student could bring in an empty, any color, any kind 1 inch binder for social studies that would be most appreciated.  I have collected all of their letters and scrapbook pages and it would be a nice region tour memory to have all of them together for them to keep and look back on.  Thanks!  I will store them in the classroom until we are all done.
 
This week in...

Reading:  Dragons and Dinos.  Test will be on Friday

5th SS:  We will finish Chapter 10 and start Chapter 11.  The Chapter 10 test will be take home and will be due on Friday, they will receive the test on Wednesday.  Any late tests will lose 10% each day they are late.

Friday Video

Happy Friday!

The 4th and 5th graders watched this little video today in Social Studies.  Some of then wanted to share it at home because it has a nice message so we told them it would be on the blog.  The video is actually from a Thailand Insurance Company and takes a look at what makes you happy?

Unsung Hero

Enjoy!  Have a great weekend :)
