Valentine's Party

Thanks to all who helped plan and supervise the party and also to those who sent in treats. The class had a fun afternoon!

Conferences

It's that time of the year again! Attached to today's paper copy of the HH is the conference times for the week of March 11. Many of you signed up for a time slot back in August. I understand a lot can change between then and now so please let me know as soon as possible if you need to change your time. For those who were not able to sign up at Open House you can choose any of the empty spots. A reminder will be sent again next week and the final schedule will go home on Wednesday, March 6.

Thanks for your time this time. Until next time..........

XtraMath

I want to thank those of you who have gone through the set up with your child for XtraMath at home. According to the students who did try it at home, the letter I sent home last week didn't need to be sent. The students can use the same login at home as they use at school. If your child doesn't remember their login number at home let me know and I'll send it home. XtraMath seems to be an enjoyable way for the students to practice their basic facts at home. I am able to monitor progress being made both at school and home. Thanks for supporting this alternative to old fashioned flash cards!

Ecology Center

Included in today's Wednesday envelope is a flyer from the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center. The flyer is about an opportunity for your child to attend a free camp during Spring Break.

Thanks for your time this time. Until next time..........

It was great to see so many of you at Math Night last night. Thanks for showing your support for fun Hudson events!

Pancake Breakfast

Speaking of fun events, please remember this Saturday, January 19, is the Hudson pancake breakfast from 8:00 - 11:00am. There are many raffle items in which can purchase tickets during this week. You do not need to attend the breakfast to buy the raffle tickets. I hope to see you there Saturday morning.

Book Orders

With the December book order, Scholastic Books sent us a certificate for each child to get a free book worth up to $5. I am sending home the order forms today. You can help your child choose a book from either order form. In the column marked "Amt Due" please write "FREE" next to the book your child chooses. If they don't find a book this month they can wait until the February order comes home. Orders for this month are due next Wednesday, January 23.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Thanks for your time this time. Until next time..........

Dear Parents/Guardians,

To find the "Hudson Students ROCK It" page, click on the specialists tab, then go to math resources, and 'ROCK It" will be one of your choices. If you need a paper copy, one is stapled to this newsletter going home today.. The dates for fourth grade are as follows

The Wheels on the Bus

Our next trip is an all school trip for a program at Steger. That trip will take place on January 9, 2013. It seems like a long time away, but it's not that many school days and only 2 days after we return from Winter Break. Therefore I am including the permission sheet for this trip in today's Wednesday envelope. Please try to return this sheet by next Thursday, December 20. More information about the trip will come from Mrs. Hilpert through the Wednesday envelope.

School Service Project

This Friday, December 14, is the end of the school service project of collecting money for service dog training. Students are being asked to bring in coins for this project. If you have not heard about this project ask your child about the visit we had from the dogs!

I hope you and your family have a wonerful holiday season!

Thanks for your time this time. Until next time..........

The Wheels on the Bus

It's time for our next journey(s), this time to the Art Museum. We will be going twice in the next couple of weeks on Wednesday, December 5 and 12. For those trips we will leave school at 12:15 and will be returning to school around 2:20. The permission sheet for the trips is attached to the paper copy of this letter coming home in the Wednesday envelope.

Popsicle Saver

We had some very successful "savers" yesterday. Some popsicles were still frozen solid, others a little soft, but most importantly was the learning that took place. The students figured out how to make adjustments to their savers and made them work. Thanks for your help in the success of the popsicle savers.

Book Orders

In a few days I will be sending home 3 or 4 different book orders. With the holiday season approaching Scholastic book orders are an inexpensive way to buy books as presents. If you would like to purchase books as a present for your child you can write "SURPRISE" or "PRESENT" on the order and I will be sure to keep the books aside. I will then contact you when the books arrive so we can arrange for you to pick up the books.

School Service Project

During the next few weeks the school service project is collecting money for service dog training. Students are being asked to bring in coins for this project. If you have not heard about this project ask your child about the visit we had from the dogs!

Thanks for your time this time. Until next time..........

Conferences

I enjoyed talking with most of you during the first part of the week and look forward to seeing the rest of you tonight and tomorrow. If you think of something you forgot to bring up during the conference please know I am available to discuss your child's progress anytime.

Popsicle Saver

Tomorrow the students will come home with directions for making a popsicle saver for our heat unit in science. A popsicle saver is basically a homemade cooler that will need to keep a popsicle solid for about 3 hours. Items purchased as a cooler are NOT allowed to be used. The popsicle saver will be used on Tuesday, November 27. However we will do a practice run with ice cubes on Wednesday, November 21. That gives you and your child this weekend to create the popsicle saver and Thanksgiving weekend to make any changes your child learns about during the test run on the 21st.

Thanks for your time this time. Until next time..........

Conferences

Thank you all for returning your conference request forms. I am looking forward to see everyone next week to discuss your child's progress. As the next week goes by please start thinking about any questions you may have about 4th grade and your child's progress. If you do have questions or comments be sure to write them down and bring them to the conference. I am attaching the final conference schedule to the paper copy of this newsletter. If something comes up between now and then that won't allow you to keep your scheduled time please let me know so we can reschedule.

Thanks for your time this time. Until next time..........

Halloween

Thanks for all of the planning and preparation to make sure your child had a costume for the parade. A special thanks to the parents who put together the food and activities for the party.

Conferences

It's hard to believe but conferences are only a few weeks away, the week of November 12. Back in August at Open House many of you signed up for a conference time. I am including that schedule in today's Wednesday envelope. I know that schedules can change over the course of a couple of months and the time you signed up for that may not still work for your family. I have also added some before and after school times if that would work better for you. Please let me know of any changes as soon as possible so that I can open up your time slot to others. I'm looking forward to talking with you about your child's progress. I will assign times to those not returning their request next Wednesday, November 7.

Thanks for your time this time. Until next time..........

Halloween

Next Wednesday will be the school's fall parade and party. The students are allowed to dress in their costumes for the parade. As a school we ask that costumes are "school friendly" meaning no blood, weapons (even fake weapons), or costumes that may frighten some of the younger students. Students do not have to be in a costume to participate in the parade.

Conferences

Kazoos

In music class Mrs. Mosley will be making kazoo with the students to use for a song when we take a trip to Powell Symphony Hall in the spring. To make the kazoos empty toilet paper rolls are needed. Please send one or two with your child sometime in the near future.
