Classroom Updates
Author's Tea
Students dress in their Sunday best for the Author's Tea celebration. (They are allowed to bring clothes to change into!) We will waltz into the cafeteria once all the parents have arrived in true Hollywood style down the read carpet. Parents are encouraged to take pictures of your star! We will stand as a class for a group picture, then be released to parents/friends for the "tea" part. Because all the classes' donate there will be breakfast type goodies to snack on while you mingle with others. After a while we head back to our classroom to read our published pieces of writing. We can't wait to see you to celebrate our 4th grade accomplishments!
Bizarre Bazaar
Next Tuesday is our big trade/exchange day. If students are bringing any food, please make sure the items are individually wrapped. Students will need a poster explain their good/service. I encourage the kiddos to bring a small box or tray to carry items to the other classrooms. They'll need a container or bag to bring home their new items in as well. It's a fun day! Let me know if you have any questions.
Harlem Wizards
