Grade 4 Newsletter

v     Next Tuesday we will have an assembly to kick off our annual school-wide magazine drive fundraiser. Look for your child’s packet explaining the details. Please participate if possible. Students have fun earning prizes for magazine subscriptions sold, and our school earns a profit for each one. This money is used to fund special events such as field trips.

v     PCMS participates in the Boxtops for Education program. Call all your relatives, neighbors, and friends and ask them to save these labels from food products they use. Each one earns 10 cents. This money is used to fund new playground balls, jump ropes, sleds, etc.

v     Math classes will be having their first assessment next Friday. Extra practice at home on addition and subtraction facts will be a big help! A review sheet will go home on Thursday. 

v     Science classes are working on animals and food chains.

v     In social studies students will be learning about the geography of the United States and the work of geographers.

v     Students are enjoying their library times and the opportunity to check out books to read. Please help ensure these are returned to school on your child’s library class days.

v     Want to improve your child’s reading and writing abilities? Start writing him/her notes each day, leaving them on the pillow, beside the bathroom mirror, etc. Have colorful paper and fancy pens or pencils available and encourage your child to write back to you. It’s fun!
