Wacky Hair Day

Here is a photo from Wacky Hair Day:

The 4th grade orchestra demonstration was a great success last week.

The students are excited to swim in P.E. this week Tuesday and Friday.

We have a field trip coming up on February 5th to Discovery World.

Our school is collecting "Pennies for Patients" to raise money for children with cancer. Each student has received a small box in which to collect coins. They can bring the money in at anytime to add to our class donation. The top class wins an Olive Garden lunch!

Have a great week!

Twin Day

We celebrated twin day a couple of weeks ago. Many students in the class decided to wear their Parkway shirts. Pictures from Wacky Hair day are coming soon.

We will be switching over to science from social studies this week. Our science unit is all about oceans. In math the students are taking their chapter 4 test tomorrow (January 20). Chapter 5 will be about measurement.

The 4th grade orchestra is tomorrow morning at 8:15 a.m. in the commons. Hope to see you there!
