Good Ole Fashioned Hoedown!

For the past to weeks, our 4th graders have been practicing Sqaure Dancing for our upcoming PDS Hoedown! The kids have been working really hard on the routine and doing a wonderful job! We are quite impressed with their dancing skills!  :)   The PDS Hoedown is scheduled for October 19th at 6:00.
  
   Please come to the hoedown and support your kids and our school! It is a fun event for the whole family, and it is neat to see the different grade levels do their own routines! Mr. Burd will be doing BBQ for after the Hoedown! If you havent purchased your dinner yet, please send $6.00 (for each meal) with your child. Checks can be made out to PDS/PTF. So come on down, and DoSiDo with us! 

Here are some pictures from the week! Have a wonderful weekend! Also, please check our Bible Verse section for next week's verse.

Birthdays & Crystal Trees!

We have had a fun and busy week, last week! We celebrated birthdays, and grew crystal trees in Science Lab with the help of Mrs. Whalen! We love going to Science Lab to learn many new, and interesting things! This week in lab, we talked about crystals, and how they form. As an activity, we made crystal trees! Both 4th grade classes participated in this and had so much fun! We also started reading, Tales of the 4th Grade Nothing by Judy Blume. Here are some pictures of our week! Enjoy!


                                                           Happy Birthday David Austin!

Happy Friday!

Here are some pictures from our week! In Math, we are learning about units of measurement. We measured the length of the 4th grade hallway! On Friday, we enjoyed our time at Chapel, Mr. Norman gave the homily  and visited our fourth grade classes! We went to Music class, where we played with rhythm sticks and hand bells!
     Next week, we will begin reading the book, Tales of the 4th Grade Nothing.  We are looking forward to reading the book together! Also, remember to work on your Trash Art Project for Science that is due next Friday. Details about the project can be found in the Project section of our website. Have a safe and wonderful weekend!
