Colonial Day

I am excited about our upcoming Colonial Day for 4th grade. Remember that you can dress up if you would like to. Thank you to all of our volunteers. Please be at the school gym by 11:45, so we can get you set up at your station. This will be a great way to learn about the colonial times.

100 Book Challenge (updated)

I am thrilled with the reading that is happening with my 4th and 5th graders. The 100 Book Challenge program puts reading achievement at the front of your child's learning agenda. Any child who is not reading at home is academically at risk. To become great at anything, you need to practice. This program reinforces the practice necessary to become a great reader. The goal of the program is to have every child reach a minimum of 400 steps by the end of the school year. Most of my students should not have any problems achieving this goal.

Please note that I am now requiring 10 "at-home" steps to be read weekly. This will begin the week of January 14th with the new semester. I will continue to check for these steps every Monday during our ELA class.

Thank you for your support!
Mrs. Hawkesworth
