Open House, Freaky Friday, Colonial Day

Hi All,

This is just a reminder that students will be conducting their conferences on Monday, October 12th from 1-2 PM in our classrooms. This is an opportunity for your student to share their progress and goals they are going to work on. Our students are creating slideshows to guide their conference with you. They will have samples of their classwork to share with you. If you are unable to attend, they will be able to share their slideshow with you at home through their Google Drive after the Open House. If you are not going to be in school next week, we ask that you let the front office know you will be out of town. If you are scheduled for an additional conference, please check in PTCfast for your date and time. 

We are going to do a Freaky Friday Day for our Fall Celebration. During the day, our classes will rotate through each 4th grade class. In one rotation we will do Math, another will be Science/STEM, Language Arts, and Social Studies. We will need one chaperone to move with the class for each rotation. We will end in our homeroom class. For the morning snack, we want to do the Halloween Goldfish with water. The goldfish needs to be in their own sealed bags. They have them on sale right now at Target, Walmart, and Sprouts. I have also seen Annie's goldfish packs for class sets which is also ok. We need 28 students bags and waters. For afternoon snack, I would like to do Halloween Oreos and Capri Suns. We will need three packages of Oreos and 3 cases of Capri Suns. If you can assist, please sign up on our sign up list.


Also, Colonial Day is quickly approaching. This event allows our students to experience some parts of daily life during Colonial Times. There will be 13 colonial groups that travel through the centers. This year the kids will experience pie, soap making, games, minuet dancing, silhouette portraits, and candles (weather permitting). Colonial Day will be November 4th from 8:00-11:25 AM. We are in need of volunteers to run the centers (directions and materials provided) and donations of supplies to make this event possible for our students. We also need some volunteers that come early or stay afterwards to help with set up and clean up. If you are unable to work the whole time, sign up under additional volunteers and put the time you are available in the comment slot. We need all volunteer slots need to be signed up for by Wednesday, October 28th so we can get information to you about the center you are helping with. Some centers will have teachers assisting with the start up and others can be started with just volunteers. We are asking that craft and non perishable supplies be sent in by Friday, October 30th. Food supplies should be sent in on Monday and Tuesday, Novemeber 1st and 2nd. The link to sign up can be found below or by clicking on the page on our classroom website: 4th Grade Treasure Hunters.


If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks for all your help and support....we greatly appreciate it!
