Zombie Poetry

Monday we worked on writing with details, prompted with this picture of some silly people Miss Jaster saw while on vacation in Seattle...



One of your classmates wrote this really cool poem.

Seven Freakish Zombies
Eating Brains
Having a Birthday Party
Red & Blue Mohawks in the Air

Book Orders

I sent two Scholastic book orders home today. If you want to order, they're due August, 17th, but earlier than that is okay too! You can do them the old fashioned way (send the money to school in an envelope with the order form) or try this NEW, ONLINE FAST & EASY ORDERING method!

It's so simple! Here's how it works:

• SIGN UP at www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Don't have a User Name and Password?" link, then register for your own username and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code (GKMRN) . This code ensures that your order is sent to me. **If you don't have a student in my class, this code is of no use to you, if you order with it the books get sent to my classroom.**
  


• SELECT the books you'd like to order from over 500 titles available online...and take advantage of online-only specials and discounts.


• SEND your order to me online by the due date. Books will be delivered directly to our classroom, as always

Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure. Plus our whole class benefits thanks to the FREE books we'll earn with every parent online order.

Thanks!

The Last Week of School

There will be no homework this week IF THE CLASS IS GOOD! :)

Monday & Tuesday will be like normal school days with normal work,
except maybe some extra recess time for good behavior. : )

Wednesday morning we will probably be having a First Aid class taught by my dad.
I've done this with my classes before and they have always had lots of fun
while learning a useful skill.

Wednesday Afternoon at 2pm is the Honors Assembly for the last 9 weeks.
I will also be giving prizes for accelerated math this afternoon and giving you your points to spend at the "prize store".

Thursday Morning we will be playing/watching kickball with the other 4th grade classes.
While we are already out of the tournament (from Field Day), we can stick around to see who the 4th grade champs are and maybe even play a game with the other non-qualifying team.

Thursday afternoon at 2pm we will go the the high school for a choir performance.

Friday will be spent cleaning up the classroom & desks and handing in books.
School is only half a day on Friday, students will be dismissed at 11:55.

HAVE A SAFE SUMMER ALL OF YOU!!
I can't wait to see you again in the fall.
To those of you moving I will miss you VERY VERY MUCH!
