Last Minute Reminders

Dear Class,

Just a few reminders and things...

1. Congratulations on the wonderful job you did with Mrs. Mitchell on Friday!  I was so proud of the way you listened and took notes on how to "Brain Purge" as a writing technique when you have a timed writing test. 

 

2. This will be a "fun-filled, faster than the speed of light" week.  There will only be one test and that will be all about the Declaration of Independence first thing on Friday.  Stay tuned for notes and class review all week.  Parents, look for important study guides in the Social Studies section of our notebooks.  Here's the youtube video we watched in class on Friday called, "Too Late to Apologize...a Declaration."  See you if you can pick out our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock.

 

3. Dr. Patterson has set the 2014 Oakland Elementary Holiday Reading Challenge to begin after school ends on Friday!  This is an important contest between all 4th grade classes to read as much as possible over the 17 days of Winter Break.  The winning class will earn "Pancakes with the Principals," a class trophy, and bragging rights for the rest of the 2014-15 school year.  My class has won the past two years and can do it again.  Don't let Mrs. Gault's class cloud your vision.  Read first thing in the morning, in the car on the way to all your holiday fun and before bed every night. Have your parents send pictures of you reading on Facebook or Twitter #OESRead and I'll do the same.
