Dear Parents,

Blood Drive: Also, mark the date!!! We will be hosting a blood drive on December 20th. We know it is a very late date, but it was the only date that the gym was available in Dec. The hospitals in the area depend on Shrine's "Pint Size " Blood Drive. We are usually able to give them close to 70 pints!! Plan to sign up or get additional information from our information table during conferences. 

We will take a religion test Tuesday. It covers ch 2,4,virtues, and the Pentateuch. The study guide went home last Wednesday. We will review Monday with classroom Jeopardy and partner study. We are also reviewing the Act of Contrition.  They will have an oral test on that before reconciliation on Dec. 1^st

English :

We will be reviewing possessives , common abbreviations, and combining sentences. For fun we will write some tongue twisters (alliteration) or and ode to a turkey.  On our return from vacation, we will begin preparing for the chapter test.

Math:  For our 2-day week, we are going to practice all of our math skills by working on "MAYFLOWER MATH"! SOS.....Many students are all out of graph paper.  WE NEED IT! Please check with your child as to whether or not they need graph paper.

Social Studies: We'll look at the real story of the Pilgrims and Squanto and discuss what Thanksgiving is REALLY all about.

Science:  On December 9, Dr. Franklin will be coming in the guide us through a pulmonary dissection.  We will need PARENT VOLUNTEERS from each class to help with the dissections.  Rooms 208 & 214 will be dissecting in the morning and Room 213 will be in the afternoon.  If you can help, please email me at morrison@shrineschools.com. 

Have a great week!

Your 4th grade teachers
