We are collecting....

Our class is about to start a new unit in Science and we need the following items for some upcoming projects.

  • Empty Soda Bottles
  • Clear Glass Containers with lids
  • Clear Plastic Containers with lids
  • Plastic Ice Cream Containers with lids
Loan Our Class Your Pet (for a day or a week)

If you have a pet guinea pig, fish, turtle, or other caged animal, we would like to borrow it for a day or week.  We are studying animals, habitats, ecosystems, food chains, etc. and would like some extra HANDS-ON learning experiences with your pets.  Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to volunteer your pet (temporarily) to our class.

Sept. 24 - 28, 2012

Nerd Success

Thank you for coming out to the Nerd Prom birthday party!  I believe it is safe to say that we all had a blast!  My birthday gifts are all so beautiful and I look forward to using them all in the upcoming days!  Thank you again!

Science Test next Monday! 
The test will cover Section A, Chapter 2.  The kids will complete a study guide and a practice test this week.  Make sure to study next weekend!

Reading Party!
We are 1 week away from reaching our first reading goal!  The kids set a reading goal of 75 minutes per week per person for 5 weeks.  If we complete our reading goal next Monday, we will have a Matilda reading party.  Each child will be assigned to bring one item for the party to share with the class.

Great Job! 
I am very proud of the 3rd and 4th graders.  They are adjusting well to the new year and I am already seeing so much progress in each of them becoming more organized, responsible, and independent!  Keep up the good work!  There are quite a few well deserved holidays coming up!  Make sure to check the BIS website and see the school calendar.
