Mythology Plays

           The talented students of 4A will be performing three Reader’s Theater plays on Thursday, May 24, and we would love to have you join our audience. These performances will begin at 2:30pm in the Community Room (next to District Office). Students will share information they learned about Greek mythology before performing Theseus and the Minotaur, Medusa and Athena, and King Midas.

Students are encouraged to bring sheets or long pieces of cloth to wear as costume togas.

South Park City

Our classroom has been transformed into a small city to allow students to explore economy and civics in a meaningful way. Check out our 4A Student Updates for more information.

Mythology Performances

To wrap up our Greek mythology studies, students will be performing three classic myths: Theseus and the Minotaur, Athena and Medusa, and King Midas. Any parents who are available would be welcome audience members on Thursday, May 24 at 2:30 in the Community Room (by the district office and the bus loop).

Book Reviews

For the next month, we will be working on an author study of Chris Van Allsburg and writing book reviews. Check out some of the reviews written by students on this site.

Reading Challenge

We did it! 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.

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.

Denver Field Trip

A brilliant pink permission slip was sent home on Thursday. This slip has information about our plans for the day and dress and food requirements. Please read over the information, and send a signed permission slip back to school on Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks!

Music & Free Dress Day- Tuesday, April 24

We’ve done it again! 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. Please keep in mind that music and clothing must be appropriate for school (and weather).
