Landform Landscapes

The fourth grade class has been working on a mural for social studies of the different types of land forms.  They completed  the project this week and it is now displayed in the hallway outside our room.  The students did a wonderful job.

We had a awesome time at the Body Walk on Thursday.  We walked through the brain, mouth, stomach, small intestine, heart, lungs, muscles, bones and skin.  There were presenters that explained and demonstrated the functions of each of these body parts.  The students were impressed by the display. 

I want to send a public thank you to the parents that drove and to Mrs. McGarrh who stayed and took the tour with us.  You are greatly appreciated. 

We are excited about our Thanksgiving Holiday.  We prayed in teacher devotion this morning for every one that will be traveling.  Travel safe and see you on November 28th.

     The Book Fair is next week.  The students are excited about all the books and things they anticipate getting.  I want to thank you in advance for the books that are purchased from my wish list.  I still think I died and went to teacher heaven.  All of you are so generous. 

     The Veterans Day program was wonderful this morning.  I was so proud of the third and fourth graders standing when the anthems were played for each branch of service.  I personally want to thank all of you who are veterans and were not able to come to the service today.  Your courage and service are appreciated more than a one day ceremony can express.

     Please check the assignment page to see the test schedule for next week.  It seems like a lot of testing for one week, but most of them are short skill tests.
