Hello Parents,
     Our Halloween party was a huge success! Thank you to the Halloween committee and families who helped put together such a fun afternoon. The students played bingo, decorated cookies, made a beautiful fall wreath and of course, all the delicious and creative treats were gobbled up! It really was a relaxing afternoon and all of the students were engaged and well mannered!
     The  READ-IN was wonderful on Friday! The entire class came walking through the doors, some of them in their pajamas holding tightly to stuffed animals, pillows and snacks and drinks. There was lots of chatter and excitement from everyone. Once the READ-IN began, the students found their cozy corners and perfect reading spots and quickly got situated. Many of them carefully stacking their books and organizing snacks and items. It didn't take long before the room quieted and everyone was still reading their favorites books. It was a delightful morning and as a teacher of reading, nothing is more beautiful than the sound and sight of students reading.

Mrs. Abbott's Dream Team Dear Families,      I hope everyone enjoyed spring break! We have an important program coming up in April. In support of our social studies curriculum, our 4th-grade students have studied the main regions of the U.S. Students selected a famous person from the region and will be presenting a biography. We welcome families to come on April 24th from 1:00-3:00 to see all of the many different presentations! More information will be coming.      Below are the important testing dates coming up in May for NWEA and M-Step. Please mark your calendars and try to have your child in school on these days. We are allowing shorter testing times and more breaks along with gum chewing:) When students are absent it is more difficult to give them the same breaks and students do not get the same quiet areas because everyone else could be finished. It's more difficult and could effe...

  Welcome to Mrs. Abbott’s Dream Team! Dear Parent or Guadian, We had a wonderful first week back! This next week on Thurs. Jan. 16th our class will be taking the NWEA reading assessment. We will begin promptly at 8:45. Please consider not making appointments and being on-time for school. Thank you:) The 4th graders will be embarking on a social studies/research/technology assignment that will have many layers to it. In social studies, we have been reading stories that have had a historical impact on the U.S. i.e. dust bowl, orphan trains,  immigration, Oregon Trail, Underground Railroad to name a few. Most of these events took place because of either positive or negative "push & pull" factors. Now that our 4th graders have some schema as to the when, why and how's of these events, they are going to get the opportunity to choose an event of interest, research and write an informational piece, as well as present ...
