3rd, 4th and 5th Grade Newsletter


Bartlett River Field Trip
We had a fantastic field trip last week to the Bartlett River. Kimber Owen came with us and we would like to thank her for her time and all of her knowledge that she shared. The class worked on a field report today and posted it to our blog: http://gustavus345.blogspot.com/ Check it out!

Glen’s Ditch
We will be taking a trip to Glen’s Ditch on Wednesday! Students must have appropriate clothing (rubber boots, jacket, rain/snow pants, gloves, hat) in order to go.

Butterflies in the Classroom
Our butterflies have emerged! The first one came out of its chrysalis last Wednesday during our Morning Meeting! The second one came out on Thursday. We are hoping that they will lay eggs so that we can watch the entire process again.

Book Orders
Book orders were in last week’s Red Folder. Orders are due tomorrow and this is the last order before Christmas! Don’t forget that you can place orders online! Go to www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs. If you haven’t set up an account you will need to one-time activation code: 1DY35

Paragraph a Week
The paragraph assignment this week is, “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.” The assignment is based on a book that I am reading aloud the class. I recommended to all of the students that they get an early start on this assignment in case they have questions that they need to ask at school. I will be checking in with them each day to see if they have questions.

Word of the Week: inanimate (this word is from The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane)
