This is a very short week due to Ascension Thursday and a day off on Friday. I wanted to express my gratitude for the beautiful orchid sent to my room from the lovely parents and wonderful children of Gr. 4. I am truly blessed to be with them at this time.
Tuesday: Our students can celebrate book week by bringing in something that is reminiscent of one of their favorite books, preferably a 4th grade book. They can use an accessory from their book talk. Uniforms are preferred, but if there is a shirt that is symbolic of one of their books, they may wear that.
N. B. Students should not be using calculators for math homework.
