It was a Magnificent Monday in room 204! We worked so hard on science experiments again. We are having the best time with magnets! We also enjoyed learning all about wildfires in language arts.

We all had mail today! Spring pictures are on Wednesday this week and the forms were in your child’s mailbox. Please have him/her bring the forms if you want to order pictures.

Spring picture day is Wednesday, April 22! Our class is scheduled from 10:00-10:15.

Our class is excited about their upcoming Reading Party with the senior citizens at BASCC, located at the Midvale Center, on Thursday, April 23 from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. We will visit BASCC to read our favorite stories and poems to the members and to share refreshments with them.

I have the following drivers and the number of student seats available for the BAASC trip:
Gardner 5, Hoppen 4, Sarkesian 5, Henninger 4, Antolin 6, Gardner 5, D Williams 6, Meier 4 and McClary 4 . Parent drivers, please come to the BCS office at 9:30 on April 23 to complete the necessary driver information. We will leave around 9:45. It is also essential that drivers remain with the students during the field trip to assist with name tags, to help pair one or two students with senior citizens and to serve the refreshments. We will return to BCS by 11:00. A note is coming home in your child’s planner with these details for you! Thanks for joining us on the exciting trip.


The third and fourth graders receive a report card at the end of the year that covers the third and fourth quarters.
