January 18-28 

"Good morning, fourth graders!  I hope you enjoy your day off and spend LOTS of time reading!!!!!! .  Today is a great day to gain minutes for 'Ticket to Read'. Let's see how many we can read.  Please let me know on Monday!! 

I did check our apple experiment!  Last night (Thursday) the apple had lost 12 grams of water by the time I went home.  This morning (Friday) I checked the apple again - it had lost 38 more grams of water!  WOW!  I wonder how much it will weigh by the time Monday morning comes around?

Our "Trick" Day will now be next Friday, January 25.  Each student should be ready to perform a trick (of the hands to stump our eyes!).  The students may also bring in popcorn and pop on that day.   Thank you!
