Dear Families,
It's hard to believe that after two school years with your students, we will be sending them off to fifth grade!  This is a very exciting time for fourth graders.  There is already a lot of buzz about possible Capstone topics and other special 'fifth grade' activities!  While we are sad to have them leave, we know they are ready for this exciting year!  With field trips and Capstone projects we did not have much class time with fourth grade.  Here is their high/low list and pic :)

Dear Families,
It is hard to believe that we are moving into the final days of the school year!  Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the end of the year BBQ.  It was so nice to see so many families celebrating all of the learning that has occured this school year. 

Humanities: This week was mostly a catch up week preparing for the Celebration of Learning.  Students used a lot of their ELA time to write science reports and finish math ABC books.  We did finish Track My Progress testing and are starting a quick unit on mystery books.

6/14 - Wellness Day
6/19 - Last Student Day (Noon Dismissal)
