Mrs. Cecil’s 4th Grade

Don’t Forget- Louisville Zoo field trip on Monday. If you are driving your child please know that we are leaving at 8:30!! We will be returning around 2:00. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, appropriate for walking and comfortable clothes. Watch the weather and be prepared in case of rain or chilly conditions.

Your child may shop at the gift shop, but they are responsible for keeping up with their own money.

Also, please remember not to pack food that will spoil without being refrigerated because we will all be eating with our groups and not be eating together, so we are not taking a cooler for everyone’s food and drinks.

No School Tuesday (Primary Elections) Don’t forget to vote!!!

Field Day is Friday, wear comfortable shoes and clothes.

Just a reminder to parents that the Louisville Zoo field Trip has been changed from Thursday to Monday, May 19th.

No School on 5/20 and 5/26.

Field Day May 23rd. Please let the office know if you plan to volunteer that day.

We had a great time at Farm Field Day this week. The students really enjoyed getting to know agricultural life.

Please remember to send in $5.00 ASAP for the Louisville Zoo field trip that is on Thursday, May 15th. Also, a BIG THANKS to all of the parents that are able to attend and drive. It will be really helpful to us because of the cost of fuel.

Monday, May 12th we will be going to the Thoughrobred Theater in Midway to watch Water Horse for CATS reward.

Remember that there is no school on Tuesday, May 20th and Monday, May 26th.

Please return the signed behavior sheet that went home today. We have been having some trouble the last week with students not following directions, unkindness toward, fighting, and stealing. Please stress to your child the importance of good behavior to finish a great year on a positive note.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Parents-Please read the newsletter that went home today, it contains very important upcoming dates.

Please remind your child that Monday we will be back to business as usual, and school is not over for 18 more days!!

Don’t forget the field trip on Wed. May 7th for Farm Field Day.

The Social Studies blank map extra credit test is scheduled for May 21st. Remember, this is just extra credit, but it is a great way to bring up low grades.

Happy Monday!!

Hope everyone had a restful weekend. We will be finishing up the CATS test this week. The students have been showing their best effort and working very hard.

Info will be coming home tomorrow on the Farm Field Day field trip and the Louisville Zoo trip. Please call if you have any questions.

We read the 1st two chapters of Hatchet today. The students seemed to really enjoy it! Please talk with your children about what they are reading, this is helpful for comprehension. We will be having a quiz after every two chapters that we read.

Students wrote their spelling lists in their planners this week. There will be no bonus words this week.

We have a very busy week ahead of us!  Hope everyone got plenty of rest over Spring Break. We will be continuing our work on our writing portfolios and testing preparations. We will begin reading the novel Hatchet this week in reading and having after-school portfolio work sessions. More info on that tomorrow…
