4 Winds Fun with Foliage

This week our intrepid 4 Winds parent volunteers, Heidi Groff and Laura Woodard, came in to educate us on the different varieties of leaves that exist.  Our students created some beautiful leaf rubbings and went outside to try out I Spy identifying the different kinds of leaves they learned about.  

Reminder that Parent/ Student/ Teacher conferences are next week on Thursday and Friday, November 5 and 6.  This is a student led conference so make sure your student is with you!  

A Few Important Items to share!!!!

A few things I have not written about but want to make sure you are aware of:
1) Genevieve's Fundraiser forms are due on Friday, October 23.  Please send them in by that time.  The fundraiser is a great way for the Parent Group to raise money that helps our classes get supplies, go on field trips and have other learning opportunities!

2)  Here is a link to a parent coffee hour sponsored by our support staff, Chris Parker and Suzanne Francke!  Take a look and hope you can stop by!  Parent Coffee Hour flyer

Be on the lookout for a letter that went home on October 15 sharing a great website for practicing fact fluency.  Instructions on how to get on as well as a code needed are in the letters your students are bringing home.  Hope this is helpful for all!

Schedule Announcements

Hello all,
Just an update to let you know that our class schedule will be changing up a bit starting Monday, October 5.  Students will be starting up in our FIT groups.  Those who are not in groups this rotation will be staying in the classroom and working on keyboarding skills.

In other news, we do have ECO this coming Friday afternoon.  Weather is getting colder and it is important that the kids are dressing for it, as we go out in most weather conditions.  Please be sure your child is ready with appropriate clothing.  I have additional copies of the clothing list necessary if you need it.

Also, please know that parent chaperones are absolutely welcomed and appreciated at ECO.  Having smaller groups makes for a more manageable focused day!  THANK YOU!

Hello Families!  I wanted to share this video with you all.  Today our fourth grade class got to play an important role in our assembly production of Tacky the Penguin.  They did a beautiful job!  Congratulate your student on their excellent acting skills as mighty penguin hunters.
