Mrs. Glackin's Notes Oct. 2 - Oct. 6

Hello parents!
Here are a few notes from my side of 4th grade:

Field Trip on Friday
Friday Oct. 6th
Landfill/Recycling Center
Meet at school 9:15am     Return to school at 2:45pm

If you are joining us please remember that you MUST ride the bus.  Please also bring a sack lunch! Please have the kids wear regular school attire (spirit shirts are fine).

Below is the list of parents I have joining us:
Stackle (one of them)
Kassaundra Schario
Kerrie Karsten
Jenni Burbank
Christy Heinlein
Ryan Brinkmeyer
Katie Clark
Please let me know ASAP if this is incorrect.  

Social Studies
We have been working on writing thank you letters to active and retired military members.  We will be sending them through an organization called Operation Gratitude that collects, screens, and includes them in care packages.   We had a couple extra days to spend so I thought this would be a good way to teach our kids the value of respecting our military while sending a little encouragement.  This letter will go in as a completion grade for Social Studies and we will be giving it a small writing grade as well.  I just expect that they can use correct grammar and letter format.  I have also read them over for basic spelling mistakes that they can fix.

Starting on Wednesday we will be back in our regular Social Studies book.

Science
We have done several experiments to watch how rocks in nature go through different types of physical weathering.  Look for our pictures on Twitter!

Now we are moving on to chemical weathering and looking at how things like acid rain can change the environment.

Be sure that you are looking at Seesaw to hear more from your kids about our experiments.
