Week of September 22

The Big Switch!!





 This week if your child is currently taking Science they will switch to Social Studies; if your child is currently taking Social Studies then he/she will switch to Science for the remaining portion of the 1st Quarter.   




E-Club applications are due on September 30th.  Students interested in belonging to SLE's club devoted to learning about ways to conserve and recycle should write an essay about why they should be part of the group.  (Application forms came home on bright orange paper a couple weeks ago.)  If you are interested and have misplaced your application form, ask your homeroom teacher or see E-Club advisor, Mrs. Scruby. 



Homework Reminder
Managing homework is something that 4th grade students work hard to accomplish.   Please check planner daily for homework assignments.   While most assignments are assigned weekly, some are assigned mid-week.   Mid-week assignments are usually smaller and are generally finishing up something that was not completed in class.  Students who have all homework turned in on time earn an extra recess at the end of the day on Friday; those do not, attend a study hall to finish up missing or late work.   The last two weeks, we have seen an increase in the number of students attending study hall and would like see that number decrease (hopefully zero!!) for the remainder of the quarter. 



Keep collecting and sending in pledges for the PTO Walk-A-Thon.   Pledges are collected and tallied every Thursday.  Classes compete for weekly prizes for the class that collects the most money that week.   Remember to mark your calendar for the Walk-A-Thon on Friday, October 3rd.  


Music Notes
  • Recorder money is due Monday, October 22nd.   $6 for one recorder, $12 for two (one for home and one for school so that it does not have to be transported back and forth for practice at home).
  • Chorus started this past week, however Mrs. Sherby would love to have a few more join the group.   If interested, contact Mrs. Sherby (msherby@kingslocal.net) or your child's homeroom teacher for an application form.
