Announcements week of 10/7:

Hi all, 

Ms. Trahan and I hope you are off to a good start in the week. Below are a few announcements. 

• Take Home Tuesdays
  • Include: Photo orders, scholastic book fair information, Grandparent breakfast order forms, and many corrected math and ELA worksheets and tests.
• Tomorrow 10/9: 
  • 5th Grade Bake sale... please send in money if you would like to support the 5th grade and have a nice mid-week treat for your students.
• Math Test 
  • 10/10 for both 4G and 4T. Ms. Trahan will be doing a review in class tomorrow to prepare!
• Grammar Unit Test
  • 4G; Wednesday, the packet went home yesterday for review however I am confident that they are all well prepared. The topics in this unit were primarily review (capitalization, punctuation ect.). 
  • 4T: Thursday (See note above- packet went home tonight!)
• Being a good friend in 4th Grade: 
  • Unfortunately, last week Ms. Trahan and I noticed that many students were not being kind to each other in the lunchroom and on the playground. More importantly some of this 'drama' has bled into the classroom which is why we need to address this. Please know that Ms. Trahan and I believe that all students should feel accepted and cared for as a student and classmate at St. Joseph School. To deal with these issues we have started to teach social rules for  being a nice friend, and explicitly teach positive language we can use when we disagree with each other. 
  • We ask that you as parents/guardians take some extra time this week to mention the importance of kindness and how important it is even if we are not best friends with each other. 

Have a great rest of your week and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! 

Best, 

​Ms. G and Ms. Trahan
