1st Quarter

I cannot believe that we are wrapping up the 1st Quarter this week!  We have already accomplished so much since the beginning of school on August 24.  We spent the first week getting to know each other!  I have quite a talented bunch this year!  Football, Soccer, Sewing, Volleyball, and Track are just a few of the after school activities that the 4th graders are involved in!  In September, we had a visit from the Windy City Players that performed the "real" story of Sleeping Beauty!  We also participated in our first Student Council elections and Tyler R. was the victor!  All of the kids did a great job with posters and speeches; it was a very close race!  Austin, Chrystian, and Gabby participated in the All School Spelling Bee.  Chrystian is moving on to the K of C Bee in November! All of the spellers did  w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!!  October 7 we had the annual Jog-A-Thon!  This is a very important fundraiser for our school!  Thank you to all of your friends and family for their generosity!!  We also had our first field trip in October.  We went to the Imagination Station (take a look at the video below this post).  The kids spent the day exploring different areas of science.  They all behaved very well and came back with many stories and information to share with the class!  We will round out the month with our Halloween Party!  Stay tuned for pics.....we are off to a great start!!!
