I hope that everyone enjoyed their Fall Break! I am excited to see everyone and get things rolling! Our class will be in charge of Family Gathering the week we return from Fall Break! We hope to see all of you Friday, October 29 at 8:00 as our class presents the life skill: Integrity! We are fortunate to have a new online reading program available to all 4-5th graders. The program is called Reading Plus. It will test your child's reading and vocabulary level and then create an intervention program to meet their needs. This program may be used at home anytime. To access it go to www.readingplus.com/users. Click on Student Login. The site code is campusschool. (You will only need to enter this code once on any computer you choose to use.) Your child's password is his/her EPGY number. This program is user friendly and will become part of our weekly homefun.

Elmwood, Brooks, and Tiger Tour!!

Tiger Tour Last Friday, the students were rewarded with a Tiger tour! Each Tiger statue, which is based off the measurements of TOM II, is made of fiberglass and stands about 6 feet high, 3 feet wide, 9 feet long and weighs about 600 pounds. Brooks Museum Last Thursday, the fourth grade classes visited the Brooks Museum. In the gallery, students practiced communication skills when they analyzed paintings and discussed narrative and story sequencing. In the studio, students experimented with crayons and watercolor to create a three-part story sequence inspired by a painting in the museum's collection. Elmwood Cemetery is a journey through the past! Last Friday your children learned the history of Memphis through the stories of Elmwood residents. Our docent explained a stunning collection of monuments. The children also met the city fathers, early mayors and every day citizens that helped shape the history of the Bluff City.
