Week 3-8 to 3-12

Hey 4th graders and parents:

Well, It's that time again-Conferences! Please remember that each conference is 15 min. and I have to keep to a tight schedule because of the number of conferences I have each day. I am glad that we have a second set of conferences towards the end of the year, so that we can discuss your child's growth and what they can work on over the summer to be ready for 5th grade. If you have questions or concerns this is the time to discuss them. I also appreciate constructive criticism, so I can learn or improve my teaching strategies. See you soon!
12:30 dismissal Tuesday- Friday!

THIS WEEK IS ALSO THE BOOK FAIR!!!!!! PLEASE VISIT THE BOOK FAIR TO SEE ALL THE GREAT BOOKS BEING OFFERED. THERE WILL BE A NUMBER OF CLASSICS AND AWARD WINNING TITLES, AS WELL AS, EXCITING NEW TITLES! REMEMBER, THE SCHOOL GETS A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS TO HELP IMPROVE OUR LIBRARY!!!!!!
