They were issued books from the library today that they may take home, however every student must have their book in class everyday. We will be using them everyday!!! There are several vocab words for these books but most of them are words they are familiar with, you are only responsible for learning the vocab for the story you are reading in your class.

Homecoming Friday Reminders:

Please remember to dress for the wagon parade.

Also, even though tomorrow is a very fun day, we still have to take our Spelling and Reading Tests and VOCAB Quiz. Remember - the faster everyone comes in and gets to work, the faster we will be done and can get ready for the parade.

Wagon Parade


4th Grade Wagon Parade Theme will by "Party at PLA" based on the song "Party in the USA." We are going to decorate our wagon for a Pike Lib Tailgate. We have a wagon but we do need a few other supplies donated:

• A red and white checked tablecloth
• Red and White shakers or Poms (Please let me know if you have any of these or where to find them)
• A large box; preferably a large thin box.
• Pringles cans and empty bottles for shakers
• Red and White Ribbon (The red ribbon with white polka dots is so cute!)
• Food that we can use to decorate the day of for the tailgate wagon and to put in the cooler
• Anything else that would go with a tailgate party!

Since 4th graders are the oldest in the wagon parade, they are going to dress like the "big kids." Girls wear red, white, or blue dresses or outfits and Boys wear khakis, button ups and ties, or polos.
