HEALTH ASSESSMENT - Mrs. LeMay sent home a study packet and the health papers for the health test on Tuesday.

SCIENCE ASSESSMENT - Friday November 22nd.
The students will be taking their assessment on ROCKS and MINERALS on Friday November 22nd.  As study guide was sent home on Friday.  They will also take home their SCIENCE NOTEBOOKS on Monday.  They need to return these notebooks on the day of the test.  THEY CAN USE THEIR NOTEBOOK to help on the ASSESSMENT!!

I also recommend that the students visit the blog and review the the ROCK and MINERAL sites under the SCIENCE section.  There are great reviews for the ROCK CYCLE too!!

SOCIAL STUDIES ASSESSMENT - This assessment will be given in class on Thursday.  They will use their NOTES and their social studies text book that we have been taking to help with this assessment.  There is NO STUDYING involved in this assessment this trimester!

2.  Thanksgiving Food Drive -  Coolidge and the 4^th grade student council is holding it’s annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to assist St. Anne’s Food Pantry during this holiday season.  Our class has been asked to bring in FLOUR or SUGAR.  We already have about 5 or 6 bags!  We also ask that each student / family donate $1.00.  The money will be utilized to purchase food vouchers for Turkeys.

3.  BOOK FAIR and MEDIA – We have media on Monday!  The students will be attending the book fair and creating wish lists.   If students bring in money, they may purchase books.   The book fair will be open during Parent Conferences.  Also, students may bring in money any day of the week and we will send them to the book fair at a convenient time.

I look forward to meeting with most of you on Tuesday!
