Teacher's note October 24, 2011

I thought the BioBlitz field trip went very well.  We learned a great deal of information about the plants and animals in the desert.  Thank you to Mr. Molina and Mr. McClain for chaperoning for us.  Hopefully your son or daughter told you all about the field trip.  

Monday at  8:15 is the first quarter Strive for Excellence Assembly for the fourth grade.  The life skills for first quarter were friendship and responsibility.  Six of our students will receive  an award at this assembly.  Every member of our class will receive one Strive for Excellence Award during the skill year. 

We have a busy schedule with wonderful events this week.  On Wednesday we will have Jimmy Stewart's Weather Bus parked at Soleng Tom for the fourth graders to learn about weather.  Thursday an expert from the Tucson Museum of Art is going to do an art project with us.  Then Friday is the Literacy Parade,  one of Soleng Tom's wonderful traditions!  Kids will dress as a character from a book and march in and out of the classrooms carrying that book.  It is very organized and fun to watch.  I would like to invite each student to participate.  No masks, blood or items that will scare younger children are allowed. 

The final copy of the animal report will be due on Friday.  I expect the final to be typed or written in cursive.  Students may add pictures if they wish.  I have read very interesting paragraphs and look forward to seeing the final copy. 

Take care,
Mrs. Figueroa
