Dear Families,
Thank you for your ongoing support of your child and me, as their teacher, this year! I have felt so blessed to have worked with all of your children and families throughtout this year, and will truly miss you all next year! As I reflect on the past year, I am so proud of the growth each student has made academically and socially. Many times throughout the year, our group of students were given compliments by specials teachers, administrators and fellow fourth grade teachers. I could not be more proud of the students in our classroom! I hope you all enjoy the break and find time to reflect on your child's school year as well. Thank you again for all you do!

Update
Dear Families,
This week we will begin our conferences. I have included the link if you would like to double check your time. I will have the students' ROCK binders at school for the conferences, and I will have them put their ROCK sheets in their homework folders.
www.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F054EA9A623A57-february
We will begin CSAP testing next Tuesday. Most students will be testing at 9:00, but some students will be testing at 11:00. All students in fourth grade should be done with testing by 1:00 each day.
If you are donating snacks, I will e-mail you later this week with more details.
Important Notes:
Yearbook Order Forms Due February 29th!
Money for Auction due March 23rd!
If you are interested in donating PACK store items, our next PACK store will be March 16th. The students mentioned that these items would be enjoyable in the pack store: bookmarks, puzzle books, slinkys, puzzles, sock monkeys, hext bugs, squinkies, and bade blades. :)
Thank you for all of your support!

Newsletter Update
CSAP now called TCAP: We are beginning some practice to help students become familiar with the format of the test that they will be taking in March.

Please don’t schedule dental or medical appointments during the testing time.

Dear Families,
It is almost Ameritowne time! We will be going on our field trip Wednesday. We will be leaving school as close to 9:00 as possible. Please be sure your child is at school on time and has a sack lunch with them. This will be a very memorable experience for all students, and we are looking forward to having an awesome day!
