Don’t forget to work on you March is Reading Month calendars! We will be doing lots of fun activities this year like the wear a word Wednesdays and door decorating competition. Our class has picked Cornelia Funke as our author for the door decorating contest. And don’t forget that the S’more you Read, the S’more you learn!

Wow, God has really blessed each student at Borculo Christian with some creative juices! All of the Creative Juice Projects have been turned in and they are awesome! We have some really neat projects to show off! The projects are on display this week in the front lobby. Come check them out!

The fourth graders are in charge of January’s chapel and we are planning to do an Old Year, New Year Chapel. We will be reflecting on the ways that God has blessed us in 2009 as well as looking forward to the new year. We will be putting on a skit as well as singing some songs. Please join us on Friday, Jan. 15 at 9:30am if you are able to.

Our all school musical is just around the corner! It is scheduled for Thursday, December 10.

Hope to see you there!

Parent-Teacher Conferences are right around the corner (Nov. 23 & 24 from 4-8pm each day). Please sign-up now. I would love to meet with each one of you to give you an update on how things are going at school. Hope to see you then!

The fourth and fifth graders have begun their swimming lessons. Don’t forget to send along a bathing suit and towel each day with your child for the next two weeks. Swimming lessons are from 11-12pm each day. This week we will also be finishing up the MEAP tests! Please make sure your child eats a good breakfast each day so that they can do their very best on the tests:)

We will be having our first science test on seeds tomorrow. Students should study their science journals as well as their yellow review sheet. We will have our first English test on Wednesday on sentences. A review sheet will come home on Tuesday.

That is the name of our newsletter! Congratulations to Riley for coming up with the winning name. This week we will have our first reading test on “The Gardner” on Tuesday. Students will not have review sheets for these reading tests as they are short stories that we review in class. They may however, bring their books home to reread the story (which I encourage all of them to do!). Please be sure to check your child’s planner each day to make sure they keep up on their homework.

I  am really enjoying this class so far!!!

The first week of school has gone by quickly! We are all adjusting to 4th grade and enjoying it so far. I am sure we will have a great year together! If you were unable to attend the Back-to-School (parent info) night I will be sending home a packet with your child today. Please be sure to read through all the papers carefully and return those that require information. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call or email me. Also, look for our first newsletter on Monday!

Blessings,

Mrs. Studebaker
