Weekly Update 9-5-19

Hello Fourth Grade Families,
Thank you for joining us last night for Parent Information Night. I will attach the links from our classroom presentation. See the end of this email for the information that was discussed if you missed the presentation.

Tomorrow is Picture Day! We hope to have our pictures done before lunch.

I will submit the September Scholastic Book Order tomorrow! Thank you to all who have ordered! We will earn many new books for our classroom. For those last minute orders, the code is HB4N7.

Here is the link for the curriculum math support offered by Mr. Saunders. Use this awesome resource! 
We will take our Chapter 1 math test next Wednesday.

A see below for a message from the Art Room:

Dear Parents,

We are excited to announce that the third and fourth grade students have a very unique opportunity to collaborate with the city of East Grand Rapids. We will be painting the blades of three city snow plows that will be featured in the Homecoming Parade on September 27th. This is a special opportunity to share the arts with our community and we feel so honored to be part of this! On the day specified below, we will spend art class outside and students will take turns helping paint a mural on the blade of the snowplow. 

We have a special request to go along with this activity. On the day your child will be painting, please be mindful of what they wear to school. The snowplows require an oil based paint that is permanent. While we have paint shirts that we will ensure are worn, they do not cover pants or shoes. We can try our best to be cautious of our surroundings, but accidents happen! We will also be wearing gloves so that we minimize any clean up needed.

These are the dates and times we will be painting(weather permitting):

Fourth Grade: Tuesday, September 10
  • Goodman: 8:20-9:15 am
  • Saunders: 9:15 - 10:10 am
  • Tinholt: 10:25 - 11:24 am

We are looking for 1-2 volunteers for each class to assist with managing students outside in the parking lot during their art hour. You may email your homeroom teacher or Mrs. den Dulk (Pdendulk@egrps.org) directly if you are willing to assist!
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We are looking forward to sharing this project with your children and the finished product with the community!

Sincerely,
Peri den Dulk and Hillary Klopcic
Elementary Art Teachers
