Brrr....It is cold out there!

I hope everyone survived the snow day!  My family spent it in front of a fire with no school work by any of us!  (That does not happen often here.)  We are in for a busy week, but as you have figured out they are all busy for us!  Here is what you can expect:

Monday – I would like to do the tests we missed on Friday, but I will gauge the kids and determine if that is a good idea.  If they seem to need an extra day we will review on Monday and test on Tuesday.  We will have an AimsWeb Winter Benchmark test on Monday, all grades 4-8 will be doing one on Monday and Tuesday

Tuesday – Thursday -  We will begin fractions in math and continue with meteorology and Robin Hood

Friday – We will have our regular tests and one on meteorology.  We will also be creating a poetry book.  I need your help with this one! Please see below.

Poetry Book: we are going to be creating a really cool poetry book for each child and we need your help!   Each child will be creating a 10 page book to highlight the poetry they create this year.  Each page will be decorated and then the student’s poetry will be placed on the page.  If you could send any of the following by Friday:

·         Scrapbooking paper (just your scraps will work out) If you are inclined to purchase something – JoAnn’s has a 50% off coupon and scrapbook books of paper can be purchased for $10 with that coupon.  Here is the link to that coupon:  http://www.joann.com/coupon/?cm_mmc=Bing-_-Brand+-+Coupons-_-Coupons+%28E%29-_-joann%27s+coupons_Exact&utm_source=Bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=joann's+coupons&utm_campaign=Brand+-+Coupons&002=2366114&004=875614939&005=9079001056&006=1036925590&009=e&011=joann's%20coupons

·         Ribbon – any scrap ribbon,  raffia or lace would be fun to use

·         Buttons – Do you have old shirts you are getting rid of?  Cut the buttons off, or those extra buttons that come with your clothing that you never use would be great too!

·         Cardstock straps

·         Cute cutouts or old cards we can cut up

·         Use your imagination we can use it!

As always THANK YOU for helping us make 4^th grade Fabulous!
