We hope you all had a wonderful time enjoying our unexpected 3 day weekend! While missing a day of school can throw us all off, at least we got to play in some real snow! ;) We will be making some adjustments to this week's schedule - most importantly the reading test that is now moved to Friday, 12/15. The kids did a great job getting back into the groove today though, and we know it's going to be another great week in 4th grade! Please see below for this weeks reminders, announcements, and homework schedule:
Some General Reminders and Announcements:
A Note from Student Council: We will be collecting items for the Humane Society starting Tuesday December 5th. They are in need of the following items:
-Newspapers: For shredding to put in puppy cages, admissions kennels, and puppy suites (this is a huge need–hook us up!)
-Old bath towels, hand towels and fleece make beds for sick or injured animals, to help them feel safe and warm, and for drying off after baths
-Doggy Bags: Help us keep our doggie areas clean while we run and play with our pups by donating any type of doggie poo bags.
-Laundry Detergent: Detergents that get odor and germs out are the best
- Bleach: We use bleach for some of our cleaning; any brand is fine
- Cat grooming supplies: Furminators, brushes and combs all keep our kitties happy!
- Trash bags: 45 gallon or larger
- Milk Bone Dog Biscuits: MEDIUM, SMALL or MINI size only, please! Volunteers use them to train the dogs and cannot break the big ones
-A note from AHS: We can always accept used crates, collars, leashes and other dog/cat supplies, but please note that we cannot accept pillows, opened dog or cat food, or carpet samples.
Please bring items to Miss Wilson’s room (P145-2/3rd grade hall). We will be accepting donations until Wednesday December 20th

Don't forget that students with 10 or more donors by 12/8 will get to attend a pizza party and a chance to dunk Ms. Lemons in the dunk tank! This date was extended from 11/29 so there is still time!
iReady/Redbird: Please don't forget that we have two AMAZING programs available for students to use at home for continued practice in both reading and math. iReady (reading and math practice) and Redbird (math practice) are available for students to use and practice with even when they are not assigned for homework. In 4th grade, we aim to incorporate them into our day for at least 20 minutes EVERY day - they are THAT amazing!! :)
