Wiffle Ball Anyone??

The Jacob M. Boudreau Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Jacob Boudreau.  Jacob was a former fourth grade student of mine  whom was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer, at the age of 5.  For the next 7 1/2 years, Jacob bravely fought this  disease. Sadly, Jacob lost his battle and passed away on April 13, 2010 at 12 years old.  Jacob was an inspirational young man who had a profound impact on the lives of those he touched.  I know I am a better teacher for having known Jacob. 

The Jacob M. Boudreau Memorial Scholarship Fund is holding its third annual WiffleBall Tournament  at Coolidge Elementary School .   There will be three team categories, Adult, Teen and Youth, with trophies awarded to the winners of each category. Each team is guaranteed a minimum of three games, excluding the playoffs.  There will also be a Home Run Derby! Cost to enter is going to be $5 for 10 Outs with additional prizes for the winners in each category.

Come join us for a great day in honor of Jacob!

Welcome to Fourth Grade

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  I know I'll be spending some time with family and friends, reading some recommended books from my former students, as well as spending time at the beach.   Take some time to relax and enjoy your time. 

Don't forget about the summer reading.   There is a link on this blog that will take you to the website where the information can be found.    You will need to read three books in total.  One must be from the list of require reading and the other tow can be any books from the list.   It is important that you choose a book that is at your appropriate reading level!!!   I look forward to our sharing time about these books when we return from summer vacation.  

I am looking forward meeting everyone on August 27th. 

Happy Summer!
