week 2-8 - short week

4th grade Jungle News

International Night- 6 to 8 PM Please come and enjoy the evening!

Service porject- trip to visit our pen pal class in Los Banos - possibly in March- drivers needed! A letter will be sent home ASAP when I get a date approved!

Mariposa Trip- possible trip in April. If parents want to go they need to have been fingerprinted and have gone through safe environment training to go- even if you want to go and not chaperone or drive---- no EXCEPTIONS! The cost for parents will be $8 . I will send a letter as soon as I get the date approved!

Relay for Life- We will be participating in a coin drive Please give to this wonderful cause!

Progress reports- They will go this Thursday. There should be no surprises if you check OptionC regularly. Grades have gone down which they typically do this Quarter. This is due to the transition for 5th grade. I am encouraging independent learners, and this can be difficult at first.

CSW Mass- I am so impressed with the behavior of my students! They make me so proud- I can see the maturity in them!!!!!

Valentine's day Party- Our party will be Thursday afternoon- Please contact Kirsten Parolini if you would like to help or provide something for the class!
