December 20

Just a few updates for you. This week we have been reading A Christmas Carol by Dickens. We are reading the Great Illustrated Classics version, so it is easier to understand. The students are doing a small project with each section. Today we read about the ghost of Christmas Past. 
We have been working on the chapter covering measurement in Math. We have been working through a packet on this, and most of the work has been completed in class by most students.
We do not have a spelling unit this week. 
Since we are finished with the last unit in science we will not begin another one until we return from our break. 
We have been continuing our work on adjectives in Language. 
So when you have been told there is no homework, that is true for anyone who has completed their work in class. 
All Dodgeball money must be in and the slip by tomorrow- NO EXCEPTIONS!
Tomorrow is a Thursday schedule, since Mass is Thursday this week.
FYI- Our class is leading the Mass on January 4. All students with speaking parts took them home last week. Please practice over break.

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.
