Walk-A-Thon Friday!

Quote: "Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence -- is the key to unlocking our potential."
Winston Churchill


Tomorrow is our Walk-A-Thon and everyone is ready to walk our way through each country learning and excersing!  Thank you to everyone who participated in raising money for our school. 

Next week we will be completing SAT testing.  Parents can help by making sure children get a good night sleep and eat breakfast before school.  We will have a spelling quiz next Thursday, so continue to work on those words I sent home today. 

Have a great weekend!

Week Three Here We Come!

Quote of the Week
"Children are our most valuable natural resources."  Herbert Hoover

This week we are going to focus on questioning and author's purpose.  Please check the Family Letter that will come home on Monday or Day One of a new unit.   Here you will find vocabulary and spelling words for the week along with the target skills we use to improve comprehension.  We hope you find this letter helpful as we work through our new reading series.  Have a great weekend.  Ms. Davis :)

What a week!

This week was fabulous!  I am very impressed with my students and how excited they are to get started with their fourth grade year.  We spent time reuniting with old friends and meeting new ones.  This year we have students new to Merwin so we made sure to make them feel comfortable with routines and the ins and outs of our school.  I look forward to week two and introducing Reading Street to everyone.

Welcome to Fourth Grade!

Welcome!
I am very excited to get this  year off to a great start.  I want to thank all parents who were able to attend Open House.  It was a great turn out.  I look forward to meeting everyone on Tuesday and we plan to be busy getting to know each other the first few days.  Have a great Holiday Weekend.  Happy Reading!
