FIELD TRIP
You can complete it at http://www.gcisd-k12.org/page/474
Admission is $5 and will be purchased at the museum the day of the field trip. Due to limited bus space all chaperones will need to meet us at the museum. Feel free to carpool to save on parking cost:) If you plan on attending the field trip, please let me know so that I can arrange small groups. Remember this is a special day for you to spend quality time with your child. It will be best if younger siblings do not come if at all possible.
GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM
GCISD Advanced Academics is now accepting referrals for Gifted and Talented Program Services for grades 1-4. Please access the application for GT LEAD and/or ASPIRE Academy for the Highly Gifted in each campus office or on the Advanced Academics page: Please Click on the Blue Badge Applications must be returned no later than February 26 to your campus office or GT Specialist.
Testing will take place during the month of March. Results will be mailed home in early April.
4th Grade Labels for Education PBL
How can we as fourth graders encourage other grade levels to collect Labels for Education so that the winners can benefit from their participation? Our school is coming together to collect Labels for Education in partnership with 4th grade‛s math-centered PBL. Your child can participate by collecting labels from the following products: Bic , Campbell's, Pace, Prego, Pepperidge Farm, Swanson, V8, V8 Splash and V8 V-Fusion. The grade level that collects the most will win a Visa gift card to use for their classes. These labels are due by March 4th .
Thank you,
Fourth Grade
