Happy Thursday!

Today the children helped with a communion service.  We were supposed to have a full mass, but Fr. Rock (who was filling in for Fr. Tom) had something come up and could not make it.  The children did a fabulous job.  You all would be very proud!

A permission slip for our Art Prize field trip went home earlier in the week.  Most if not all of the children have returned theirs.  Our trip will be next Thursday October 4th.  We will eat lunch prior to our departure.  Mrs. Renee in the lunch room will make sure hot lunch is available early to the children who would like to order it.  Can you please let us know if your child will be ordering hot lunch ahead of time?  That way we can let Renee know how many lunches we will need.

On October 11th the 4th grade will be going on our annual Capitol Trip.  This is a trip many incoming 4th graders look forward to!  We will arrive at the Capitol around 9:30 AM.  We will tour the museum and then the Capitol building.  Children will be asked to bring bagged lunches and a drink (no soda please).  They will also have an opportunity to shop in the museum gift shop.  If you would like to send money along for shopping, please feel free to do so, however, the children will be responsible to keep track of their own money as well as any purchases.  Finally, we are hoping to take a bus to Lansing this year, but we will still need chaperones.  Let us know if you are interested.  Keep an eye out for permission slips which will be coming home next week!
Don't forget, casual day tomorrow!!!

Have a fabulous evening!

Happy Wednesday.  My apologies for not having the blog up to date!  I have been running into some "technical difficulties" but am fairly certain all of the "bugs" have been worked out. 
Here are some upcoming events:

• Tomorrow, Thursday September 27th, the 4th grade will be assisting Father with Mass.  If your child has a part he/she should be practicing any readings they might have.  Mass is at 8:30 tomorrow.  Please feel free to join us.
• Friday is casual day (the first of the year)!
• Next week Thursday (October 4th) the 4th grade will be going downtown to Art Prize.  Permission slips went home yesterday.  Please sign and return them to school as soon as possible.  This is a free field trip with bus transportation.  If you are interested in chaperoning, please fill out the bottom of the permission slip.
• Just a reminder, please make certain your child's hotlunch account has $$ in it.  If you would like, there is an option on the hotlunch website to have recurring deposits if the dollar amount you choose gets low, texts that can be sent to your phone as a reminder, and much more. 
• Please work on multiplication tables/facts on a regular basis with your child...it will make their math class so much easier.

Homework
Spelling- Packets are due Friday.  Spelling test this Friday.

Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday! We hope you had a great weekend!

What a great day to be in the fourth grade! We are busy learning how to be 4th graders, meeting new classmates, and getting used to our new surroundings! This summer our classroom was lucky to have a “make-over!” We have new carpet and fresh paint! Feel free to stop in and see the great changes.
This site will be used to keep you updated on fun and exciting things happening in the fourth grade as well as daily updates and homework!

I hope you find this site helpful!

Have a great day!
Mrs. Gage
