Mrs. Perry's Fourth Grade
Hello, November!
We've had a wonderful week of learning and the essays on animal adaptations are coming along beautifully! This week, graded work and a weekly progress report will come home! Already, students are working harder on their work, the first time because they can see the relationship with their progress report grade!
We are beginning fossil unit in Science, once the animal adaptation essays are complete! I would really like to transform the classroom to a geological dig site in November! Do you have any resources that would help with this? Could you help me transform one day after school? Please contact me if yes!
Thank you, Mrs. Mertz, for the copy paper! It was very appreciated!
A Note from Mrs. Goodman!
We are having our Thanksgiving breakfast on Friday, November 22nd, from 8:30-9:30 at school in the gym, and all of you are invited to join us! Please click on the link below (or copy & paste into your browser...I can't seem to make things go through the same way twice) to sign up to bring food or drinks. If you have a special breakfast dish that you would like to make in addition to what's on the list, that's great too!
