Our 4th graders did such a wonderful job leading chapel this morning! Below are just a few pictures of our morning service. Enjoy...

   

   

Getting Ready for Chapel....

We are so excited about leading chapel this Monday morning, 12/9/13!  Parents, please remember that you are invited to join us for chapel that morning at 8:30 in the Fine Arts auditorium.  Also, it's not too late for your child to bring in his/her chore money for our Flint River ministry project.  We will be collecting money until Monday.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Science Reminders

Hi, parents!  This is a reminder that our Science Unit Test will be tomorrow, December 4th.  Students received their study guides before Thanksgiving break, and I know that they are going to do a great job! Our test will cover digestion vocabulary and labeling, reading food labels, the food guide pyramid, and manners basics.

Students are also bringing home information today about a Borax crystals project they will be completing and returning to school on Thursday, December 12th.  Thanks so much for all that you do!

Manners' Lunch

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving break with your families!  Below are just a few photos from our recent Manners Lunch.  Thank you to all of our host homes, drivers, and parent volunteers for helping to make this day so special for our students!

 SAVE THE DATE!  Fourth graders will lead chapel on Monday, December 9th at 8:30 a.m..   Make plans now to attend- you'll be glad you did!

Science Vocabulary Quiz on Tuesday...

This is just a reminder that we will have a science vocabulary quiz on Tuesday, November 19th.  All students should have a study guide in their 4th grade binders.  We will have our unit test following the Thanksgiving break.  Thanks so much for your help at home!  These are the words that will be on our quiz:

Tablet Fun with Fifth Grade

For math today we visited Mrs. Murnan's fifth grade math classes and enjoyed working out some problems with our new buddies on tablets. We definitely were bitten by the technology bug and can't wait to have our own tablets next year!!!
