December 16

Today we watched the movie, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. This is after we read and studied the book this week. 
The students all brought home (should have) a list of the states from the Southern Region, and a map for practicing. They also have the rubric for the next National Park project. This will be due the week of January 30. The quiz over the capitals will be January 30. This should give everyone plenty of time 
to complete this project and study these states. 
It is hard to believe that there are only 4 school days left, not only until Christmas break, but also until the end of the semester. 
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

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.
