Tok Fourth Grade

Greetings in 2020! Starting into the New Year, it is hard to believe our school year is now officially half over! Semester 2 and the 3rd Quarter have begun! Hopefully, everyone will start off healthy and well rested. By the time it was to start the winter break, there were only 4 out of the 14 fourth graders in attendance. Two types of flu really took its toll on every class. Those that were in attendance, finished projects for Christmas and even helped complete the projects of students at home sick. We tried some new holiday ideas, and one was a no bake fruitcake. The students had fun making it and each had a loaf to take home. We also sent a dozen loaves over to the Senior Center to be shared with the elders that eat there. Another new idea was to make seed ordainments to put out for the winter birds. We followed the directions explicitly, but they still did not firm up as they should have. Hopefully, it worked out once they got frozen. I know the one I made for the birds...

 Weekly Greetings! Before I dive into all the exciting activities that happened last week, let me fill you in on what is happening this week. First of all there are two early release days at 1:30pm this week. The first will be on Thursday the 19th,  and also Friday the 20th. Friday will be a special day for the elementary. They can wear pajamas and bring a blanket to watch a Christmas movie together in the Multi Purpose Room in the morning. Also, we will have our class party after lunch at 12pm. Please see the food sign-up at the end of the parent letter. Lastly, be aware that there will not be any homework this week, and only two days of G.A.P. on Tuesday and Wednesday. Now, to recap all the highlights from last week! Wednesday was our monthly Book Buddies visit. Ms. Deb took us on a journey to Mexico, complete with make believe passports. Then the students learned about the legend of the Poinsettia. As usual, we went to the library so that the older kids could rea...

Weekly Greetings! The countdown has begun! There are just two weeks of school left before we break for Christmas.  Thursday of this week will be a very special day with some wonderful activities planned. Starting at 2:00pm the Kindergarten through 5th grade students will be preforming in a holiday themed concert. When the concert is over at 3:00pm, a school wide Success Night will take place until 5:30pm. Student work and holiday themed door decorations will be on display in the hallways. In addition, Cookies, Carols, and Claus will be happening from 4:00pm to 5:30pm. It looks to be an incredible afternoon and evening!  I hope to see you all there! As for a few highlights from last week, each student has read a biography book and has been working on a book repot poster. Hopefully we can get them all done before the Success Night to be viewed. On Thursday, Tim Lorenzinzi was in for a visit to get the students excited about the Migratory Bird Calendar contest. Stu...
