January 24 Newsletter

I forgot to share this earlier! This is our JTSD 4th grade with all the wonderful donations we collected through our compassion project. The CARE Shelter in Springfield was thrilled!!

Good afternoon, Parents!

Yikes! It was so cold this week! We were stuck indoors for recess most of the week due to the cold temperatures. We're looking forward to finally getting to go outside again!

Next week I will be gone all week. I've gotten a wonderful opportunity to go to Florida with my husband. While I'm away, our class will be working with contractions and possessive nouns in writing, and they'll be identifying character traits and setting during reader's workshop. In math, they will begin our study of polygons in our geometry unit, and in science, the class will begin tackling the problem of how to attract native birds back to the Ozarks.

Reminders:
  • We are gearing up for our first FIELD TRIP! We will be going to Smallin Cave in Ozark on Tuesday, February 11. We are still working out the details of pricing, but it is looking to be about $5 per child for admission. Please look for more information coming soon!
  • Don't forget to visit McDonald's Monday night between 4pm-8pm to show support for JTSD.
