Dear Parents,

In academic news: We will be having our first quiz on Prince Caspian on Thursday. We will also being having our weekly spelling quiz on Friday.

In Health News: We had four students home today, and another two sent home during the day due to illness. I am sending home a reminder of all things to be aware of and reasons why it might be best to keep your children at home. We do not want others getting sick as well. Please use your best judgement.

In related news, we are in  desperate need of Kleenex. Any and all willing to donate would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,

That is all,

Mr. Leonard

Hello Again!

Math Test this Thursday. It will be on units of measure. Your students have already received their study guides. Please have them memorize the conversions provided. Thank you,

Mr. Leonard

Please bring a paper bag lunch tomorrow with your student's name on it! Everything should be disposable.

Cheers!

Mr. Leonard

Quick Reminders!

Field Trip this Friday! We have enough chaperones, but we need everyone to pay the $20 for busing. If the cost is too much, please send me an email and I will forward the information on to Rachel in the front office.

On Friday, please have the children pack a paper bag lunch with their name on it.

There will be no homework on Friday because of the MLK holiday. No school next week Monday, the 18th.

Cheers!

Mr. Leonard

Welcome Back!

Hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable break.

We will be reciting “Paul Revere’s Ride” the 7^th and 8^th of January. We will discuss delivery and expectations on Wednesday. This is the fourth grade project and is for a grade. Please work on articulation, fluency and expression. Welcome Back!

We will be going to the MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) on Friday, January 15^th.

Most of you already signed up for the field trip at the beginning of the year but I know we have some newer students who may not have and it may have gone under the radar for others. Please make sure you sign up, at https://archwaylincoln.mycustomevent.com/ShoppingCart.aspx?com=detailview&iid=38&&returncom=productlist&source=search

It is a $20 charge, which accommodates for busing. This serves as a permission slip. We look forward to everyone’s attendance. We are still looking for three volunteer chaperons, as these spots will be filled on a first come bases. Please email me at jleonard@archwaylincoln.org if you are interested. Chaperons must have fingerprint clearance by Great Hearts. 

This quarter in literature we will start off reading Prince Caspian by C. S. Lewis. It is a popular story and should be easy to obtain if you have not yet done so. Please bring the book in by Monday the 11^th.

Dear Parents,

In our final week before Winter Break I have a few updates to give.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are all half days.

Thursday is the read-a-thon, and if your child wishes to dress up, they must have their purple sheets signed by Wednesday for my approval. Students are allowed to bring a blanket, a stuffed animal, a flashlight, and their favorite book for their personal reading pleasure. Please make sure the book is 4th grade appropriate.

Friday is our Robin Hood Party. Links to the sign up genius are below on the previous post. All help is greatly appreciated.

The students will have a final math assessment as well as a science assessment on Thursday.

The students will have their Spalding and Robin Hood Final on Friday.

Please continue to practice the Paul Revere's Ride Poem each night. We recommend going through the poem three times, once with the paper in front of them, once where you give the necessary cues, and once more without any assistance. They should have the entire poem memorized by the start of the 3rd quarter during project week (the week after we get back)

Grades will be posted December 30th. I will request Parent Teacher conferences as needed. Parent Teacher Conferences are by invitation only.

Thank you,

Mr Leonard

Hello Parents,

 

In order to celebrate all that our students have learned about the Middle Ages this term, the fourth grade classes will be having a Robin Hood Feast (party) on Friday, December 18 from 10:00-12:30 p.m. (set-up will begin at 9:15). Activities will include crafts and games, as well as foods that were eaten during that time. We will need a number of volunteers to make this event a success. 

 

Please have a look at the Sign-Up Genius--we are looking for parents to help set-up/clean-up, help out in the classrooms during the party, donate game and craft materials, and provide food. Let's work together to make this a memorable and enjoyable morning for our students! 

 

(Please note: the quantities are for all 3 classes, about 90 children).
