Parents -
Thank you to all who attended the last PTO meeting. Because we had so many representatives from our class, I won the Coins for Classrooms, again! It was such a surprise to win the first time, and to win again was a shock! I used the money from the first win to purchase supplementary math materials and some cute stickers for the kids' papers. This month I plan to buy some materials for a bulletin board we will create to celebrate the upcoming election. Thank you!
The fourth grade teachers sent home a note yesterday, Wednesday, to request a large white poster board and two brown paper bags from each student. Please send these items with your child to school tomorrow, Friday. We will be using these materials to prepare for our Informance.
If you have not already requested a time for conferences, please do so. I am assigning times on a "first to turn in their form" basis.
Mrs. Thomas, the music teacher, has asked us to inform her of any students who are not going to participate in singing holiday songs. She would like to start singing holiday songs soon, but needs to know who will not participate. If you would like your child to refrain from singing such songs, please let me know.
Thank you!

Our school fundraiser is approaching quickly! The students have brought home information regarding the fundraiser, as well as collection envelopes for donations. In addition to donations, each grade level is collecting items for theme boxes that will be sold to the highest bidder on Family Fun Night. Our two themes are GOLF and FESTIVE FALL. Boxes have been placed at the end of the fourth grade hall to collect donations. If you would rather bring your donations to our classroom, please feel free!
Thank you,

Thank you to all parents who helped with Grandparent's Day today. It was a huge success! I really appreciate all of the help. The snacks were terrific! Having the digital camera to take pictures of the kiddos with their special family member was a great idea! Thank you, thank you thank you!

Parents,
On Family Fun Night each grade will be selling 2 theme baskets that evening.
The five 4th grade classrooms will be responsible for (1) GOLF basket and
(1) FESTIVE FALL basket, (two baskets total for the 4th grade).
The Fun Night committee will be placing 2 boxes in the 4th grade hall next week labeled with our grade and theme and are asking 4th grade parents to donate items for these boxes. You can also donate gift cards if you choose. Please have your donations in the boxes by September 19. Anything to do with GOLF or FALL can be donated to the box.
Thanks for your help!

Thank you to all who had an opportunity to respond to the last School Notes message. I received several questions regarding differences in fourth and third grades. In fourth grade, we provide the children with one recess, before lunch. We know this is a difference that is difficult and disappointing to the students. We are assigned an extra recess time in the afternoon. We will definately keep this in mind and use it if we feel the children need a break. So far, we have used it twice - once on the first day of school and once on Friday! The second question I received was regarding our late lunch. The fourth graders eat lunch at 12:50. Because lunch is late compared to what the children ate last year, and probably throughout the summer, please consider packing a snack for your child. We will allow the children time to eat their snack between 11:00-11:30. I do have extra goodies in my room if needed.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

We had a terrific first day of school yesterday! I am very excited to be back to school with such a great group of students. To make certain I have each email address correct, please respond to this email. I look forward to hearing from you.
