I just wanted to let you know that I will be flying to Florida to spend the holidays with my family. My parents and my husband’s parents are in Florida and Georgia during the holidays. We will fly into Tampa and enjoy a few days. We will then drive to St. Simons Island, GA to visit with my parents! We are so fortunate to have this special family time! I will not be at school on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Mrs. Robinson will be here with the children during my absence.
Our amazing parents have planned a great party for the kids on Friday. It is from 12:30-1:30pm and all are welcome to join and help out! I will look forward to seeing everyone after the break!
Have a wonderful holiday with your family!
I handed out the Environmental Center Permission slip this week. We go to the Environmental Center on Tuesday, January 6th and it is one of my favorite trips! I take the kids for the morning and we always learn so much and have the best time. Mrs. Pepper directly relates everything we do to our science curriculum. The permission slips are due ASAP. We are only missing a few!!!

We had a Terrific Tuesday in room 204! After working really hard on our cursive writing, we read and discussed Sing to the Stars. During third grade math, we performed a coin-toss experiment to confirm that some outcomes are equally likely. Enjoy the video of our coin-toss experiments. This afternoon we applied the map skills that we learned using a physical map of the United States. Today we investigated longitude, latitude and the compass rose. At the end of the day we went to Gym and Eng. Tech. Have a great evening!

We all voted today on Moodle in our 3/4 Presidential Election. Everyone had to register and show their voter identification card to enter the polling precinct. IT was fun! This morning the fourth graders learned all about Battle of the Books…ask your child to share all of the details with you tonight. Most 4th graders checked out Battle books an d already love them! Tomorrow is the Presidential Election…go with your parents to vote and learn about the process! I will miss you tomorrow and will be working hard on your report cards.

Please email me to let me know if you are available for any portion of the time! Thanks, Scarlet sb07bps@birmingham.k12.mi.us

Social Studies: Today we learned about the election process. I have done a lot to explain to the kids that we will not share who we want to vote for because everyone’s vote is private and we never want to make someone feel bad about their choice. However, we will use various sources to educate ourselves about both candidates. I want them to understand how important it is not only to vote, but to make an informed choice. On Monday, the entire 3/4 will vote online and we will see who our president would be if our third and fourth graders had the choice!!!

This morning we spent some time going over the “BCS Halloween Rules.” Everyone was interested to know. The kids can tell you everything, but here are the basic rules: costumes cannot include anything that resembles a weapon, blood, or guts. Also, the 3/4 team does not allow students to wear their costumes all day. We will all (including me) change into our costumes at 1:20pm before the parade. The parade is at 1:45pm and everyone is welcome to attend. Everyone is also welcome to attend our party right after! The parents are working hard on it and I know it will be a lot of fun!!!!
