Book Buddy Fun and Pollinating Flowers!

  How is it already SEPTEMBER???  We are breezing through the school year!  I am so proud of the hard work and dedication to doing their best that the students show on a daily basis.  They continue to amaze and impress me!!
   We have lots of important dates and events coming up!  They are:

• Grandparent's Day (Friday, September 14)-  Come and enjoy our Grandparent's Day program and stay to hear our Grandparent's Day Rap.  I have received many of the yellow forms letting me know if your child is staying or leaving with a grandparent.  If he/she is staying, please make sure he/she has a packed lunch.  Dress Code on that Friday is SCHOOL UNIFORM!
• Parent Teacher Conferences (Tuesday, September 18)-  I will have a sign up sheet on the desk out of my classroom for sign ups.  I will try to offer some times in the mornings and right after school on that week.  On Tuesday, the times available will be from 3:05-7:00.  Let me know if there is a time you need to meet, and I will do my best to fit you in.

    Today, we met with our Pre-K Book buddies in Mrs. Williams class.  This is such a special program where students of different ages may create a bond and be mentors.  My 4th graders are so good with them and show great love to each child!  Below are some pictures from today.

    In Science, we discussed pollination, fertilization, and reproduction of plants.  Today for Science, we we went to the STEM Lab and we were "bees".  Students drank "nectar" (Juice Boxes) and touched the "anthers" (Cheetos)  where they picked up "pollen" (Cheeto Dust).  They then went to flowers with letters to spell their names by touching each flower with their "pollen" fingers.  We discovered that pollen is passed from plant to plant by different animals.  The students LOVED it!  Below are pictures!

   Have a FANTASTIC weekend!
