Week of May 13

Hi, families!

We are well on our way to completing our final round of PASS testing!  Thank you so much for writing a wish on our class wall.  The students have really enjoyed reading all of your notes.  You really have cheered them on this week!

Looking ahead:  Students will complete Everyday Math lessons, which focus on fourth grade standards.  It will be a great introduction to next year's skills!  We will also continue practicing our multiplication, addition and subtraction facts.  As historians, students will learn about famous South Carolinians, by doing a little research and creating a product.  As readers, the children will enjoy reading Palmetto Roots, which will integrate what they've learned about the Great Depression and its effects on the south.  Students will kick off Project-Based Learning.  They will begin collaborating with other third graders to prepare something special for our Beacons, which will be presented to them at the end of the school year.

On a personal note, I would like to thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes, gifts and notes of kindness on Teacher Appreciation Day.  It means more to me than you know and made me feel so special!

We will have an author's visit on Tuesday, May 14.  If you would like to purchase an autographed book, please send in the paperwork and a check by Tuesday morning.  The information went home in last week's communication folder.  If you have any questions, please contact our media specialist, Ms. Sease.

The Bookman Blast is Friday, May 17!  Students brought home flyers on Monday, with a ton of information regarding stations and ticket sales.

Please continue to remind your child to do his/her personal best these last few weeks of school!  I know summer fever is setting in, but everyday here, at BRES, counts!

Thank you again for your endless support!  Enjoy the remainder of your week and have a great weekend!

Enjoy some of our photographs from our last "Being There Experience" to the State Museum!  Students enjoyed the cultural history tour and spent time in the military relic room.
