I Am NOT a Turkey!

Our disguises for turkeys!












4th Grade Poets!

On Tuesday, we joined Mrs. Murphy's class to read lots of different kinds of poetry books.  We then wrote our own poems in the style of the ones we read.

Teddies are on their way!

We are about to send our teddies out into the world!  How exciting!  Our official Send-Off is Thursday, November 14th at 2:30 (parents, feel free to come).  Until then, everything you need to know about the teddies is below.  A paper version is also coming home today (Tuesday).  Please let me know if you have any questions!

Dear Parents,


         As you probably know, we are beginning the fourth grade Teddy Bear project. The teddy bear send-off is Thursday, November 14th  at 2:30. Parents are welcome to attend and help the students bid their bears farewell. Below is a checklist of what your child and you need to do to prepare for the send-off:

q  Select a responsible person in another state to receive “Teddy.” Please try to let the person know in advance about the project. Also, try to keep it in this country since the purpose is to learn about the regions in our country.
q  Get a box sturdy enough for Teddy to travel in, but not too big.
q  Pack Teddy, his journal (the journal will be completed in school) and anything else you want to send along with him in the box.
q  Wrap it all up and address it.
q  Bring it to the Post Office in town and alert them that you are sending a bear as part of the Proctor Bear Project. They are aware of the Teddy Bear Project, but remind them that only stamps should be attached.
q  Prepay the postage, but don’t leave the box with the Post Office. They’ll pick it up at the send-off.
q  Bring the stamped, postmarked, wrapped box to school by November 14th.
Thank you.

Sincerely,                                                      

The Fourth Grade Teachers


We're coming!!!!!!
