          To help the students understand our reading story for this week "Election Day" and the upcoming presidential election, the students nominated eleven classmates to be candidates for class librarians.

Six students will be elected next Friday, September 7th for this job.  The candidates will campaign Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week.  Candidates may make posters, campaign buttons, etc. to be displayed in the fourth grade room and hallway.  They will give their final speeches on Friday afternoon with the election to follow the last speech.

Each student elected will serve as class librarian for a six week period.  Their main duties will be to check out books from our class library and make sure they are all returned.

Please check the blog next week for pictures.

The fourth grade will begin A-Math next week.   Look for their work in their Tuesday folders September 4th. 

Our memory verse next week is I Corinthians 13: 4 and 5

4.  Love is patient, love is kind.  Love does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Dear Parents,

   It is good to be back.  I think everyone is glad to get back into a regular routine.  We have begun learning about subjects and predicates in language.  Last year in social studies we learned about communities.  How they are alike and different.  This year in social studies we will be learning about the regions of the United States.  How they are alike and different.  The fourth grade will begin their studies in RSVP this week. 

   I am not very good at blogging but will try to update each week or two.
