Mrs. Gallagher showed the 4th grade the quilt.. She is asking if some students
could stay after school tomorrow (Thursday, 1/21/2010) until 3:30 p.m. to help her put on the finishing touches on the quilt. If your child could help, please write a note giving your permission to work with Mrs. Gallagher. Thank You. Mrs. Schifferdecker
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to review the directions on how to do this month's book report. First, the students
need an empty Kleenex box. It doesn't matter what size it is. Next, students will use construction paper to cover the 4 sides of the box. The top and bottom don't need to be covered. If your child needs construction paper, I will give it to them. Lastly, on the 4 sides of the box, they may draw anything that's related to the story. For example, characters, setting,
what they liked about the book, or any scene they'd like to draw. I hope this helps.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank You and have a good rest of the week.
Mrs. Schifferdecker
