CCCS Fourth Grade News:  Week of 10/27-11/02/13

Thank Yous:
Thank you for letting me share the lives of  your wonderful children!  Such a gift!                                            
 God Bless you All!

I hope all the questions got answered about Reading Street online and Accelerated Reader.  If there are still questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

It might appear that I'm available for contact every afternoon while on Stop Sign Duty, but I'm asking your understanding that I'm really trying to avoid accidents.  I really can't do my duty assignment and have conversations at the same time.  One of those two things will not be getting my full attention, so in the best interests of all, I ask that you make an appointment if there are things that need to be discussed. :) 

I am available by appointment from 7:15-7:35 (except Tuesday), 9:48-10:48 (planning period), and 3:00-3:30 (except Wednesdays and Fridays.)


Please go to this week's Corpus Christi Colt (link below), find the link for the parent survey, and complete it for us!  Thank you in advance for getting that taken care of.  It is important to CCCS!

Safe Trick or Treating to All the little Ghouls and Goblins!  Wishing you all a week full of Blessings!   Check the Colt Express for other pertinent information for the week.
