Welcome back! We hope everyone had a nice and relaxing break! And now we brace for the cold weather this week!
Mr. Baldwin is teaching a tennis unit for the next couple of weeks and if the students would like to bring in their tennis racket from home that would be fine. If there is a way to put a piece of masking tape or initials on the racket that would be most helpful- they will stay in the classrooms but sometimes we end up with some at the end that no longer have a home and it's like they walked in to the classroom themselves!
Mrs. Porcelli, our picture mom, has done a fabulous job with the 4th grade bulletin board outside of the gym! If you get a chance stop by and see the 4th graders "TOASTin" in the new year!
We are going to begin a vocabulary program with the 4th graders. They will need a folder- any color, design, pattern. Some have extra folders here so we will check and then they will know what they need.
