Happy Holidays! I hope that you are enjoying time with family and friends and are having a safe and relaxing break.
We will be back in school on Tuesday, January 3, 2012! I am enjoying my break but miss the kids and are anxious to get back to learning with them.
Reading logs will be due on Tuesday, January 3. Your child is required to read 200 minutes over the break however students who read more than 200 minutes will be receiving a prize. The students who have read the most, get to choose their prize first. I've received a few emails from students who have already read over 400 minutes! Wow!!!!! Great job and keep up the hard work.
Don't forget to practice math facts and some problem solving over the break as well. Firstinmath.com is a great way to practice. The kids need to keep challenging themselves!
Students also need to begin planning their science projects. They will be graded on checkpoints to help keep us all on track to complete the project and make some amazing scientific discoveries. Checkpoint #1 is due on Thursday, January 5. Here are some sites that could be helpful: http://school.discoveryeducation.com/sciencefaircentral/

Have a wonderful week! I will see all of you soon. Keep safe and keep your kids using their brains. Be sure to stay up late and enjoy this time off. Now that the first half of 4th grade is over, we will be starting 2012 in full swing. Expectations will be higher and they are ready to meet them. They need to be ready to focus and put forth their best effort everyday! I am so excited to see their progress as the year continues!
Sincerely,
Pam Bartholomew
