The Hermitage, Boosterthon Spring Sprint, and Famous Tennesseans!

What a FABULOUS last few weeks we have had in 4th grade!! Right before Spring Break, we went on an terrific field trip to The Hermitage, Home of Andrew Jackson! We wen t on his birthday, so we got to see lots of interesting demonstrations, a wreath laying on his tomb, and touring the house. It was wonderful and the students behaved beautifully! A few pictures are posted below! Then we had a restful week of Spring Break.
When we returned to school, we started our next fundraiser, Boosterthon Spring Sprint! This is where students get pledges from friends and family to run laps at our Spring Sprint. Every day yhere is a challenge given to the students. We won the challenge on Thursday night and got to go on a secret mission with the Boosterthon team! Be looking for the next challenge! We want to get those pledges! You can pledge per lap or pledge one flat sum. This money will help make improvements to our school. Spring Sprint will be on Friday, April 5. It will be a half day dismissal. We would love to have any and all parents at Spring Sprint to mark laps and cheer on the students!
On Thursday night, students presented their Famous Tennessean Oral Reports. They were AMAZING! I was extremely proud of every student and the hard work that each one put into their report. I learned so much and I know the students did too! A few pictures are posted below.
This week we will be preparing for Achievement tests by practicing and reviewing facts, going over testing strategies, and getting our minds set for testing. Achievement tests will be from Tuesday, April 9 to Friday, April 12. Please make sure your child is well rested, has had a nutritious breakfast, is prepared for the day, and is on time. We start tests every day by 8:00 a.m.
Below is a list of a few upcoming important dates:
