oh heeeeeeyyyyyy there!

Wow!  I have really been slacking on the ole blog, huh?  I apologize for my absence, but it's with good reason, I promise.  One reason involves giving a crash course on 4th grade life to our new student teacher, Ms. Heather Sothen.  We are so excited to have an extra helper for our students, and she has certainly jumped right in to our SGE family.  So if you see a new face in our class, please feel free to say hi!

We currently have lots going on (as if you're surprised!).  We are continuing to collect pop can pull tabs, and also gently used books to donate to our pen pal school in Nigeria.  Please send in donations any time.  Thanks in advance!  Next week, we will also need household items that we could use to create a space craft.  PLEASE do not purchase anything--just things around the house will do.  A list of ideas is coming home with your child tomorrow. 

Tonight's homework is light--in honor of the SUPER Social Studies test tomorrow!  A study guide came home on Monday, and we have reviewed in class all week.  I even suggested to students to Google "US States blank map," print it, and practice labeling it.  Also, don't forget to read the chapters about farming and life in midwest states in the SS book.  Happy Studying!

The only other homework tonight is the usual stuff-- reading log, study spelling words for a few minutes, and don't forget about the quiz over My Brother Martin on Friday.  Also, planet reports are due on Tuesday (and there's no school on Monday--wahoo!). 

Have a wonderful evening!
SJP
