Fun Run Boosterthon!

Parents,

Our school is having a blast preparing for the Roadrunner Fun Run coming up soon! Plus, we started learning how to “make a difference” through the Fun Run’s character theme, Backyard Box Office. We’re learning from REAL kids who are dedicated to making people’s lives better. From inventors, to world-class speakers, to business owners, to world-record holders, these five kid difference-makers are inspiring our students to practice five “Character Acts” so they can also make an impact in our community. 

Remember, as you connect to sponsors for the Fun Run, make sure all pledges are entered on funrun.com. The more pledges we get, the more incentives our class earns on our Pledge-O-Meter. Plus, for every $30 per lap our class pledges, three meals will be given to a local person in need through our giveback initiative, A Million Students Strong. Our students are excited to rise to the challenge and give back to our community!

Thank you for your generosity and supporting our school. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a great day!

Upcoming Science Project

Dear Families,

Students are learning about the solar system in class and will be completing  a project on the Solar System at home. In order to show what they have  learned, students will create their own 3D model of the Solar System. This will be a major grade of this unit, so students should do their best work. The fourth grade team encourages students to be creative to show what they have learned. Here are the requirements for their project:

• You must include the Sun and all 8 planets.

• You must keep all planets in proportion. For example: The Sun should be the largest object and Jupiter should be the largest planet. Mercury should not be larger than Earth. Use the Solar System Diagram on the powerpoint shared in your google classroom for help with proportion.

• The planets, sun and moon’s colors should be accurate.

For more information on the planets and to view the rubric please view the Solar System Project powerpoint found in your child’s google classroom or visit http://bit.ly/2cfDfCW. All projects are due Friday, September 23 for grading. Students will share their projects on Monday, September 26.
