• I am working on getting pizza delivered for the fourth and fifth grade students from 11:30-12:30 this upcoming Wednesday. This is to celebrate their success with the Reading Plus Challenge. You do not need to do anything. :)
• Spring Fling will be held Friday, May 16th. Please look in your child's folder for the pre-paid order form.

We began our final class novel! Roald Dahl has written entertaining children's stories that contain morals and life lessons that even adults can appreciate. In James and the Giant Peach, he handles the themes of abandonment, abuse, and redemptive reward--with justice handed out appropriately to all concerned.  We will view the movie after finishing the novel! The students are loving it!

James and the Giant Peach, End of the Field Trip, and TCAP Celebration

Dear Parents,

Next week we will begin our final class novel! Roald Dahl has written entertaining children's stories that contain morals and life lessons that even adults can appreciate. In James and the Giant Peach, he handles the themes of abandonment, abuse, and redemptive reward--with justice meted out appropriately to all concerned. Below is a review of this classic book.

When James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree, strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. When James discovers a secret entrance way into the fruit and crawls inside, he meets wonderful new friends--the Old-Green-Grasshopper, the dainty Ladybug, and the Centipede of the multiple boots. After years of feeling like an outsider in his aunts' house, James finally found a place where he belongs. With a snip of the stem, the peach household starts rolling away--and the adventure begins!

Roald Dahl's first and most widely celebrated book for young people continues to thrill readers around the world.

"This is a stunning book to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy."--Chicago Tribune

"A beautifully written, fantastic book."--Christian Science Monitor

TCAP Pajama and movie party  

First of all, I hope that you are all enjoying your week. With all the hard work the kiddos have been doing with TCAP, I contend they should definitely be rewarded! To celebrate the students' success, the entire third and fourth grade will have our annual "Sleepover in the Classroom" Monday, May 5th. I do apologize for the late notice on this, but we had to move the celebration up due to 1st and 2nd grade testing. I am sure the students will have no problem celebrating earlier than expected. :) The students are allowed to wear their pajamas to school as well as bring in their sleeping bags, pillow, and stuffed animal of their choice. Please visit Pajama Party Wiki to sign up for drinks, popcorn, and sweet treats. Be sure the sign up for the correct class as all three classes are posted on wiki page.
