Parent Letter
May 6, 2010
Dear Fourth Grade Parents:
What a busy week! The Music Man has been a wonderful experience for the children, and they have been giving it their all. Thank you for all of your support at home, helping them learn their music. They are such a great addition to the show.
Here are a few items to tell you about. We have had to postpone our play, due to the Music Man schedule. So we will not perform next Wednesday but hope to perform it either May 26 or June 2. I will let you know.
As you know, tomorrow, the 3rd and 4th grades will travel to Hamza’s house for a Jordanian/Egyptian lunch prepared by Rudi. Stephanie Cabot, Mary Osgood, and I are driving, as are several 3rd grade parents. I am still looking for one more driver if possible. Please do let me know if you can drive.
May 27th is the K-4 concert, which begins at 6:30. Students should be at school no later than 6:10 for warm ups in the 4th grade classroom. Please be sure they remember their recorders and binders.
On the academic front, students are currently learning to calculate the areas of polygons and how to make drawings to scale. Next week our Egypt unit will focus on mummy masks and a mummification experiment with zucchini. Students have finished their VT endangered species sketches and research and will continue our study of U.S. Geography with a look at the western states. A brief unit on rocks and minerals, stones and sedimentary rock will finish out our science work this year.
Next Tuesday, 4th graders will join several other TGS classes at Vermont Academy to see storyteller extraordinaire, Odds Bodkin perform his version of The Odyssey. It should be an informative and engaging event.
I hope your children stay healthy! There are some bugs going around. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to seeing you at one of the many end-of-year events.
All best,
Libby
