Reading: Our theme this week is "Our National Parks." The students will be working on main idea and supporting details.
Book Report: Our first book report will be a mystery story. Please help your child select a book that is on their readability level. No A-Z Mystery stories for the book report. They will have this week to find their book and begin reading their story. In class they will receive handouts for what they need to complete for their book report. The directions will be posted here soon.

Tuesday is our Library day. Please return all books by 8:20 a.m. Tuesday. Students may check out two books at one time.
Art: We are completing our projects on how Failure Leads to Success with an animation.
It is time to begin our Louise Nevelson project. We must have these items to create the artwork. Louise Nevelson was an artist who took items that may appear like trash to some people and created beautiful sculptures with them. Your mission is to find pieces of plastics, woods, and metals that can be painted. For example: bolts, screws, wine corks, puzzle pieces, buttons, small wooden objects, pasta, trinkets from a dollar store or garage sale are always popular. Whatever you can find that meets these needs will be greatly appreciated to begin our projects.
Christian Character Development: In our study of Christian Character Development we discussed what information is safe and unsafe to use on the Internet. This year we will have opportunities to communicate with other classes via the Internet. Students are learning about personal and private information and how we can live in a Christian Community while participating online.
Chapel Buddies: The 4th graders spent time this week reading with their chapel buddies.
