Hi,
We had fun this afternoon at Field Day. The kids were tired by the end. We had some rain but they were already wet so it didn't really matter. They played volleyball with beach balls, had races on the trikes, did a jump rope relay, got tattoes and popsicles, slid and climbed on the inflatables, and had a tug of war. It was great!
On Monday, we are going to visit our pen pals for our last trip of the year. If you didn't sign a permission slip, please do so and send it in on Monday or email me and let me know that your child is allowed to attend. Feel free to join us. We will be having a little talent show.
This week we have been researching bullying and are completing projects to show what we've learned. Many of the children are making slide shows, some have written and will be performing skits, a few posters were also made, and a song. We will be videotaping these performances (hopefully using the green screen) and we will also try to use our projects to teach other classes about bullying.
We created a survey this week and Mrs. Rollans, our technology teacher, came in and taught us how to use excel. It was very fun and we created some amazing graphs.
Next week we will be creating some brochures after researching some places in Texas. We will also be doing lots of problem solving and logic problems and doing a reader's theater. We started writing some fantasy stories and we will be working on those. We will do lots to stay busy and still learn some things in these last days of fourth grade.
Our end of the year party is on Friday, May 27 at about 1:50/2:00 until the end of the day.
I have had a wonderful year with your child. I am happy to have more time this summer to spend with my family but I am sad that the school year is ending. I will miss them a lot and look forward to seeing them in fifth grade!
Sincerely,
Pam Bartholomew
