Off-track activities

Hello everyone!
We have finished the first three weeks of school! I hope you get a chance to enjoy the last bit of summer. Thanksgiving Point has a great deal on Tuesday for the next couple of weeks. It is only $2.00 per person to get into the different exhibits!

The only required homework for the kids is to continue reading. Each child should read at least 100 minutes a week and write it down on the calendar. Reading calendars are due the day we get back to school, Tuesday, Sept. 7.

I would encourage everyone to practice math facts and typing. We use some of the following sites at school.



More Games - Tons of different games we use at school


This weekend I'm going to download some pictures from my camera and post them so you can see what we've been up to. Check back soon!

I'm sure you've heard lots about fourth grade. Ask your child what his or her favorite part is so far and why. If you post the answer in the comments section, your child will earn star cards when we get back. Have a great vacation!

Hello Fourth Graders and families!
I'm excited to get to know everyone and to start the school year. I will be posting information, updates and photos on this blog throughout the year. Feel free to become a "follower" and check back often. If you want a sneak-peek at some of our activities, look through the older posts.
