Dear Parents,
Hope you all enjoyed our “ice day” on Thursday spending quality time with family! Our last day of school is now June 5th. March is definitely going to be an exciting time in fourth grade with our Cruise Write Along coming up as well as Spring Break! CRUISE WRITE ALONG: The fourth grade classes are preparing for the upcoming Writing STAAR test and setting sail on our Cruise Write Along during the week of March 23-27, 2015, and we need your help! During the week of Cruise Write Along, the students will be venturing into a series of fun activities. They will learn exciting new cruise songs, rhythms, and techniques to improve their writing compositions. In order to make this a memorable experience, we will be transforming our classrooms into a cruise ship/beach theme. We need beach items such as floats and boats (already blown up), towels, low sitting beach chairs, and anything that would make our classrooms feel like we are going on a cruise or hangin' at the beach. If you are able to lend us any of these items, please send them to school by next Thursday, March 12th. Please make sure that each item is labeled so that we may return it to the rightful owners. Also, I still need a few parent volunteers to help set up our classroom Thursday afternoon at 2:45. If you are able to help, send me an email to let me know that you are coming. Each day, your child may wear: Monday, March 23: Flip Flop Day (Art) Tuesday, March 24: Sunglasses Day Wednesday, March 25: Hat Day Thursday, March 26: Lunch with the Captain-Dress nicely Evening activities will include completing any final composition that was not finished in class that day. There will not be a spelling list or spelling homework assigned for this week. Students however, will still be working to complete three activities on their reading log. We look forward to having a fantastic learning adventure with our Cruise Write Along excursion. Thank you for your continued support, and a huge thank you to our Room Moms who will be delivering delicious snacks during “cabana time”! CCE SPIRIT DAY: Show your school spirit and Wear Your Favorite Jersey on Friday, March 13th! WE’RE NOT JUST A SCHOOL, WE’RE A TEAM! ONLINE PARENT SURVEY: We want to know how you feel about the quality of the academic programs and the school environment at our school. Your input is important and completing the survey will only take a few minutes.

Look forward to seeing you all then and the warmer weather. IXL MATH: Please use the My Self-Analysis of the Grade 4 Spring 2015 STAAR Ready as your guide for practicing IXL at home. This sheet went home in your child’s Tuesday folder. Spring break would be a great time to brush up on those skills that may need extra work. Please let me know if you have any questions.
