CCCS 4th Grade News

CCCS Fourth Grade News:  Week of 10/21-10/25/13

Thank Yous:
Thank you: to Mrs. Prinsen for providing Sharpies, Expo markers, and some new books for our library!
                  to Mrs. Chansky for much needed paper clips!
                  to my Secret Family for Fall Decorations, a hand towel, Starbuck's gift cards, and Bugles!
                  to all the families who participated in parent/teacher conferences!
                                                         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. :) 

Wishing you all a week full of Blessings!
