On Monday, October 31st from 1:30 - 2:45 your child will be participating in a very fun and exciting activity in the classroom called Pumpkinology. Your child will be "dissecting" a pumpkin using math and science skills. We cannot do it without your help. Here is what we need:
6-8 PARENT VOLUNTEERS - will be in charge of a small group of students and in charge of cutting the pumpkin. We will need the following supplies: - PUMPKINS FOR CARVING (various sizes-we want them to be different) - PLASTIC TABLECLOTHES - we will be scooping out the insides of the pumpkins - LARGE SPOONS FOR SCOOPING - LARGE KNIVES FOR CUTTING THE PUMPKIN (PLEASE WRAP IN A KITCHEN TOWEL) - SMALL PAPER CUPS FOR SEED COUNTING - BATHROOM SCALES for weighing the pumpkins. Be on the look out from an email from your child's teacher or room parent with further information about signing up to help out. CORIs (Criminal Offender Record Information) Required It is important that EVERYONE must be CORI'd to go on field trips and/or come into the classroom to volunteer. Please go to the front office to fill out a CORI form. A government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport) must be presented with the completed form. Thank you.
We are off to a great start in Fourth Grade! Students and teachers are excited to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. Please click PARENT INFO to access the powerpoint presentation and handouts. We look forward to working with all of you this year.
Important Dates: *Picture Day - September 19th A message from Principal Harvey in regards to presidential elections and political points of view:
Parents, as you might imagine, last week’s primary presidential election evoked some strong emotions and conversations among our students. As educators, we want to encourage students to think critically about candidates’ platforms and to learn about civic responsibilities and processes such as voting. Certainly, in all our work with students, we are teaching respect for differences of opinions and consideration for others’ perspectives. Please help us in this work as you talk with your children about your political views by reminding them of the importance of responding with kindness and tolerance to viewpoints and ideas different from their own.
