4th grade Monday Letter
Weeks #37, #38 And #39 : June 11th – June 26th
1. Calling ALL Library Books: All books from the Driscoll Library were due back to the Library on Friday, June 8th. Please help by checking in with your child and returning all books to Ms. Reid.
2. Summer Reading: Ms. Reid met with all 4th graders last week to discuss Summer Reading. Students will be given a packet with all of the information about Driscoll summer reading, book suggestions, and other wonderful summer reading resources. Thank you for your help and support in assuring all students complete their summer reading this summer!
3. Explorer Project Update – Living History Museum: Students have been working to complete various pieces of biographical information about their explorer. In the next 2 weeks, students will create and share timelines, maps, pictures, writing samples, and even create a mixed-media presentation in art class to represent their explorer.
Also this week, as a class, we will discuss the logistics and costumes for the Living History Museum. Please work with your child to plan out what he/she will need to wear to best represent his/her explorer. Please do NOT buy anything, and use what you already have in the house. If there is a prop or item of clothing your child needs, we will ask other students to accommodate. In turn, we may ask to borrow something from your house, so stay tuned. On the morning of the Living History Museum, students should come to school fully dressed in their costume- students can bring a change of clothes for the remainder of the day. Since our classrooms can get very hot, please help your child improvise an appropriate costume if it’s a hot day (especially if he/she is an Arctic explorer)! We hope to see everyone at the Living History Museum on Thursday, June 21st at 8am!
4. Winn Dixie Movie: The 4th grade ends the year by reading Because of Winn Dixie together as a class. To celebrate finishing the book and the end of the school year, the 4th grade will watch the Winn Dixie movie together in the theatre on Monday, June 25th.
5. Tuesday, June 26th is the last day of school. Students will be dismissed at noon and lunch will NOT be served. If you are planning on leaving earlier, please let your child’s teacher know as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.
6. Bag Please: Before the end of the year, your fourth grader will come home with all of his/her hard work from this school year. In preparation for this, please send your child into school with a sturdy bag with handles (reusable brown paper grocery bags tend to work best) by Friday, June 22nd. If you are leaving earlier than this, please send your child in with a bag prior to his/her last day. Please be sure to write your last name on it clearly with a dark permanent marker.
