In order to celebrate Constitution Day we have studied the various parts of the document and attempted to write a classroom constitution in small groups.  You might want to check on the book by Jean Fritz called Shh! We’re Writing the Constitution to share with your child.

We look great!

Wear red, white, and blue to celebrate Constitution Day!

The test will be on Monday, September 21st.

The class went to the library yesterday to pick out books. Monday afternoon will be our library day each week.  Please encourage them to read 20 minutes every night.  It makes a world of difference.

The activity was to make the tallest tower using toothpicks and marshmallows.  The underlying goal was to learn to work as a team.  Some were successful at teamwork even if their tower wasn’t the tallest and some groups need continued work on team skills.

There is no “I” in team.

Tomorrow is gym day.  Please remember to wear your gym shoes and have the appropriate clothes for class.

I hope everyone had a fantastic summer. I am so excited to have you in my class. It is going to be a great year in fourth grade.
