Dear Families,

We will be continuing with the assignments from last week. The math test will be on Wednesday and the Social Studies First Californians will be due on Friday, November 2nd. The students will have time in class to complete the project. An updated Monday Note will be distributed tomorrow (Tuesday) with the same spelling words and memory verse. I became ill at school and left prior to distribution. I plan to return tomorrow and will answer any questions for the First Californians project.

Blessings,Miss Gast

2007-10-24T10:21:00.001-07:00

Dear Families,

Due to the local fires and air quality, school is cancelled for Wednesday, October 24. Our thoughts and prayers are with the fire fighters and families who are affected by these fires. I continue to pray for them, and I encourage you to do so as well.

Please check the school website about school tomorrow. When school resumes, we will modify the schedule as necessary. At this point, we will not have a quiz on Charlotte’s Web on Friday. If you are able to work on school work, I would recommend working on the First Californians Project. The directions are listed below.

I pray that all of you are safe and I look forward to getting back to school!

Miss Gast

First Californians Tribe Project

§ It was great seeing everyone this past week at Back to School Night! I look forward to a wonderful year with your students!

§ One of the goals of 4th grade is for the students to become more independent. As parents, you can encourage your child to be responsible for his/ her homework. In the classroom, the students know that it is their responsibility to unpack, turn in homework, sharpen pencils, and be ready for the day to begin! It’s exciting to see them become more independent!

§ The students and I chatted about turning in Spelling book pages. We decided to turn them in on Friday. Please make sure your student does the assigned Spelling pages every night and turns them in on Friday.

§ Sign up for the Hoe Down fundraiser in the classroom. We are looking for help as well as donations of root beer float supplies!
§ A message from the room parents:
o If you have not already turned in money for the class parties, please do so as soon as possible. You may either give it to Sally Warren or Miss Gast.
