Greetings Parents,

Students today worked on a book looking back on fourth grade. We will be meeting with third graders and offering advice to these incoming fourth graders.

Students will get YEARBOOKS on Friday. If you did not order pictures in the Fall there will be some for sale in the office.

Monday is our end of the year picnic at Levagood Park. Please turn in the permission slip by Friday.

I hope you can stop by and visit during the picnic on Monday. We will be there from 9:30 until 2:30.

Hope  to see you there!

Students were able to use aqua nets to scoop off the top of  the pond. They emptied their nets into a large, deep tray. They examined what was in the tray-lots of living things!!! Tadpoles, water bugs, plants and more!

Wow! What a fabulous day! Students were treated to a guided nature walk and an incredible pond investigation. I am going to load the pictures in sections; the first is our guided nature walk. Check out the animals we saw: bull frog, turtles and little garter snakes.

Hello All!

We had a wonderful day! I think we will all sleep well tonight. Lunch, recess and nine different stations to experience. Ask your student-it was a blast!

Tomorrow is our field trip to the University of Michigan Dearborn’s Campus. We will NOT leave school until 10:30! So if you are one of our PARENT DRIVERS please come to Haigh at 10:30, not at 9:00. We still need YOU! We only have one bus for all fourth grades.

Once we arrive at U of M we will be divided into two groups. One group will start with a POND STUDY and the other group will be be on a guided nature walk. We will eat our lunch and then the groups will switch activities.

Please  send your student with a paper bag lunch. Also, I think long pants, long sleeve shirts, and good walking shoes (Please NO sandals) are a must! I also recommend a hat! I am spraying my hat and shoes with bug spray.

Thanks again for your support and your cooperation.

sincerely,

Good evening friends,

Our field is tomorrow. Students are encouraged to wear clothing for outdoor play. Hats, sunglasses, sun block and a water bottle are in order. There will be a water station outside for students to fill their own bottles.

We will also be eating outside. Lunch is from 11:30-12:30. So kids can bring towels or blankets along with their bagged lunch. The cafeteria will also have a sack lunch available.

The FIELD DAY will start for us at 1:00. There are nine stations. Bounce house, froggy relay, sack races, basketball, tug-o-war, soccer kick, obstacle course and parachutes. Each activity will be about 12-15 minutes.

Please join us for part of our fun day!

sincerely, a. cronin

Greetings!

Another beautiful day…

Please send in permission slips for our trip to the University of Michigan Dearborn.

Many thanks-here are a few pictures of some of our lockers…it’s time to empty them out!

Good Evening Everyone!

We had a wonderful day! Our picnic and play time was absolutely FABULOUS!

The fourth grades ate together on the playground. Everyone brought a little something to share-either blankets, food or fun play things. The weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed playing or visiting with kids from other classes. Our class even got to spend some time with our kindergarten buddies.

When we came back to our classroom we worked on a social studies project. Enjoy the pictures!

Greetings Everyone!

Tomorrow is the last PBIS celebration. We will celebrate positive behaviors with an all school picnic from 11:30 until 1:00. Students are encouraged to bring a blanket, or towel to sit on-a bagged lunch if possible-the cafeteria will also have sack-n-go carry outs, and some fun play equipment-like hula hoops, jump ropes, balls, etc. the weather forecast looks wonderful too. Please join us if you can stop by for part of our fun day.

NEXT MONDAY is the rescheduled FIELD DAY. More information will follow when the schedule is worked out.

NEXT TUESDAY is the 4th Grade Field Trip to the University of Michigan/Dearborn . Our class needs parent volunteers. If you can join us please let me know!

Thanks for your support and cooperation,

A. Cronin

Greetings Everyone!

I hope all is well with all of you! Memorial Day is tomorrow. This day honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It was originally known as Decoration Day and originated in the years following the Civil War. It became a federal holiday in 1971.

Dearborn is host to one of the largest and oldest parades in Michigan. This will be year 93! Wow!

The theme this year is “women in the military”. The parade will feature more than 60 marching bands, hundreds of veterans and flyovers from a Coast Guard helicopter, and a historic aircraft and military jets.
