Crickets, Insects, and Spelling Words

Today we are working on some insect research to get to know more about our friend Chester the Cricket in The Cricket in Times Square.  Our class enjoyed this fantasy story about Chester and his friends this week, but here are some factual videos about our insect friends.

We also completed our practice pages in our spelling pages to prepare for tomorrow's test.  Please continue to practice Unit 23 Spelling words for Friday's test.   They are NOT easy.  Words end with -ation, -ition, -al, and -ial.  Please study at home.   I accidentally flip-flopped the Unit 23 and Unit 22 Spelling CHALLENGE words.  Please study the CHALLENGE WORDS on the REVISED newsletter.

As the second trimester celebration, our fourth grade students will have a reward on Friday.  For the last hour of the school day, they will be allowed to bring in a board game to play with their classmates. (Please note that this does NOT include ELECTRONICS).

Filed trip permission slips were sent home today for the Joliet Agriculture Expo on March 23. There is a $2.00 transportation fee.  Pizza and pop are provided to the students as a snack.  We will return in time for lunch.
