Students at West Grand met their goal for the Spring Reading Challenge. To celebrate, the elementary school will have a pajama day on Tuesday, May 8. As students choose their pajamas, please keep in mind we will still participate in recess and specials.<br />

Students have also been invited to a special karaoke performance by Mrs. Kelly Martin. Mrs. Martin will sing a song recommended by students (we're hoping for a Justin Bieber song) at an assembly on pajama Tuesday at 3:00.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13128204510541704934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168493525292102005.post-14789888072265107642012-04-27T10:38:00.002-06:002012-04-27T10:38:14.012-06:00Denver Field TripA brilliant pink permission slip was sent home on Thursday.

Students have earned a whole jar of marbles for their positive behavior. To celebrate, students have chosen to have a music day when they can bring in their own music to listen to and a free dress day where they can wear whatever they want as long as the outfit is not distracting to them or others.

The books she read were <i>Live Free or Die</i> which was a biography of Harriet Tubman and <i>The Boy in the Striped Pajamas</i> which was a story of a young German boy and a Jewish boy who lived in a Nazi prison camp. Below are several links to explore these topics a bit further. I will try to add more as I find them.<br />

We are selling Tuperware, and 40% of the item cost will be donated to Mrs. Nanda's. Anyone can order online; students/parents do not need to handle any money. They just need to spread the word and pass on the website link. The link is posted below. Please take a few minutes to support Mrs. Nanda.<br />

Students may wear jerseys or shirt representing a favorite team of any sport, or they may wear team's colors if, like me whose favorite sport is swimming, a jersey is not available. :)<br />
<br />
Also, on Tuesday, February 6, the elementary school will be hosting the opening ceremonies for our 2012 Winter Olympics. Our class will be representing Greece whose flag is blue and white. Please encourage your child to wear a blue or white shirt that day to add to our unified appearance.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13128204510541704934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168493525292102005.post-34140051268251892722012-01-29T14:40:00.002-07:002012-01-29T14:40:41.529-07:00Study HallRemember that our Study Hall time has been switched to Mondays after school.

To celebrate (and do more fraction work), our class will be having a fraction fiesta. We have several hands-on activities to reinforce what we have learned about fractions. Because fourth graders love to eat, students asked if we could have food. My one requirement was that the food must be fraction friendly. If you would like to send some fruit snacks, M&Ms, or a pan of breakfast bars (our fiesta will be at 8:10), please let me know by Monday or Tuesday so I can plan some food related fraction activities.

Dinner is at 5:30 in the Community Room, and the presentation begins at 6:30. The presentation gives parents information on raising adolescent children and offers support as interactions between you and your child begin to change. Please contact our school counselor, Jantrey Miller, for more information.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13128204510541704934noreply@blogger.com0
