October 24

Parents,
We have many things happening in Fourth Grade.
You will receive an e-mail concerning our "Fly Like an Eagle" program. This is just something I thought I would try to improve our classroom behavior, especially the talking.
This week is Red Ribbon Week. Encourage your student to participate in the Healthy Calendar activities. 
Don't forget that Tuesday, tomorrow, is Slipper Day. Students need to wear shoes to school. They may wear their slippers in the classroom and school. We do have gym tomorrow, so don't forget to bring gym shoes.
Wednesday remember to wear a red shirt to Mass
Friday students are able to have free dress (especially black and orange) for $2. This money is to help Student Council with the expense of serving at Cafe on Vine. 
We are having a Halloween Party on Friday. Students may bring their costume to change into for the party after lunch. 
Our class is painting 2 boxes for the Beanbag Tournament. Mrs. Taube and I have worked out our idea and she has sketched out a plan. We are looking for some parents to help us get the boxes ready and painted. We will need some painter's tape. Mrs. Taube has brushes and Home and School is providing the paint.  If you can give some time to help and supervise the students painting on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 8:30- 9:20 we would appreciate it.
We continue to practice state and capitals.
Group 2 is ready for a math test tomorrow over chapter 4. 
Look at the pages for daily assignments.
Remember that October 31, Monday, there is no school. Also, no Bettendorf bus on Friday.

Meet Your Teacher:

Welcome to 4th grade. I am Mrs. Susan Smith. This will be my 22nd year teaching at Lourdes Catholic School! I can hardly believe it. I taught 5th grade, 1st grade, and now, this is my fifth year in 4th grade. I love teaching and every year brings new and exciting challenges.I am a graduate of Drake University with a degree in elementary education and a minor in social studies. I believe that every student is special and brings their own uniqueness to our classroom. I look forward to a great year.
