Thank you, Open House, and TUSS!

First, allow me to thank you for the multitude of treats I received for Teacher Appreciation Day!  You all turned it into Teacher Appreciation WEEK, and Mrs. Rafferty, Miss O, and I greatly appreciated the extra lunch you generously gave us, along with the other unexpected treats throughout the week.  We feel so lucky to have such a terrific class!

Tonight is the spring concert and open house for grade 4.  Students are asked to arrive at 6:30pm.  The concert begins at 7:00 and should run for about 30 minutes.  You’ll have a 10 minute buffer (more or less) to make your way through the art show (remember to pick up clay pieces tonight in the art studio!) before coming upstairs at around 7:40.

Our classroom is being transformed into the Teach Us Something, Somehow Student Research Colloquium!  I’ve LOVED seeing the kids’ presentations this week, and they’re excited to share their work with all the families in class!  While you’re here, be sure to check out your student’s other work that we’re showcasing:

• Timeline posters (partner-created, self-researched, 100% awesome!)
• Daffodil dissections (the final activity from our cool new science unit about plants and animals!)
• Photo Stories (showing us what characters in a situation SAY and what they THINK – The kids worked hard to pull off this sophisticated bit of technology work!)
• Room designs (hot off the presses!  We’re learning about area and perimeter and had some fun designing new rooms in the process.)

Then, at 8:00pm, families are invited to the cafeteria for a popsicle social!  I look forward to seeing you this evening!
