Can you believe that we are already going into the fourth week of school and will be turning the calendar page over to October in less than a week?
This upcoming week will be a pretty typical week in the classroom. There will be an English test on Wednesday as well as a fourth-grade math test. Also, the students will have their usual spelling test on Friday.
In Science, we will be getting ready to do a project about habitats, ecosystems, and biomes. The students will each be given a specific animal in which they will need to create a new zoo enclosure that is ideal for that animal to thrive. This will involve some research; I will give them time to do that here. Then they will put that knowledge to use to make sure all of the basic needs for their animal are supported in their created zoo enclosure. I don’t expect the students will need much from home to complete this project. However, one item that would be necessary is if they come with a box or some type of inexpensive glad wear type container that you do not want back. If it is in the size range of a large tissue box on up to shoebox size, that would be ideal. Please have these boxes/containers at school by next Wednesday.
Reminder, October’s Hot Lunch forms are due back today, Thursday, September 24. If you choose to order Hot Lunch for your child/ren, please fill out 1 form for each student. Also, please mark if you are paying with cash/check or if it should be charged to your TADS account. If you are playing with cash/check, you may make one payment for multiple students.
