This Week in LL38....

Image result for summer sunI hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful and warm sunshine this weekend!  

Field Trip
We had a lot of fun on our field trip to the Hudson Public Library and Wood Park on Friday.  Thank you to the volunteers that took time out of their day to spend with our class.  We were pleasantly surprised that the sun decided to make a visit.  We learned all about Summer Reading at the Library and even got to sign up for it.  Then we were able to spend some time eating lunch and playing with our classmates at Wood Park.  It was a great way to end the week!

Farley Fun Day
We had lots of fun at Farley Fun Day on Thursday as well.  The kids did a great job working together as a team at a lot of the activities.  We had a friendly tug of war competition, played volleyball, went to the dunk tank, and played many water games.  Here are a few pictures from the fun we had that day....


 






Farley Regional Games
As an end to our school year, and to go along with our regions project in writing, we decided to hold Farley Regional Games.  The kids worked in regions groups to create a game that incorporated either measurement conversions or decimals and connected to something that they have learned about their region.  Each group needed to determine the math/region connection, the materials needed, specific directions, and a recording sheet for the game.  It was a lot of fun to see how creative this group is!  I am hoping that we will get a chance to play some of the games this week!

Last Day Dismissal
Your child came home with a notice last week about dismissal after the Time Capsule Ceremony.  If you plan on dismissing your child after the ceremony on the last day of school, please send that back in with your child this week!

Have a great week!

This Week in LL38....

I can't believe that the school year is almost over! It is going to be a busy 2 and a half weeks!

Here are a few reminders:

Farley Fun Day- Thursday (Rain Date: Friday)
  • Please apply sunscreen before sending your child to school.
  • Pack a labeled water bottle 
  • There are water activities, so your child will probably want a change of clothes and shoes.
Fourth Grade Field Trip to Hudson Public Library and Wood Park- This Friday
  • IF, Farley Fun Day is postponed due to rain, our field trip will not be on Friday.
  • Please encourage your child to wear sneakers.
  • Pack a bag lunch for your child.  Please label with your child's name.
  • Apply sunscreen at home.
  • If your child has a Library card, please have him/her bring it to school on Friday.
Time Capsules- Bring to school Wednesday, June 13th.  We will add some things to the Time Capsule in school and then we will prepare them for our Time Capsule Closing Ceremony on the last day of school.

Region Research
  • We will be starting to work on the second part of the Region Research project.  Many students will need to do some research at home this week, so that they will be able to get to the Chapter 2 project.  Working at home to gather research will help your child be more successful during Writing Workshop in school.  
Please let me know if you have any questions!  Have a great week!
