HAPPY SOLAR ECLIPSE DAY!! (8/21/17)

We had a great day of fun and learning all about the solar eclipse. Everyone kept their 

glasses on as they looked up at the sun. Your student has brought home their work. They 

also have a reflection to share with you about their feelings during the eclipse today. 

Reminder: the Narrative On-Demand is tomorrow. Have a great evening!

Good Afternoon 4C Families,

This is the final 4C Update for the school year, and for the next two years. It will be changing to 3C. I am so happy to have had each one of your children in my class this year. I appreciate all the love and support you have given us this year. The cards and thoughtful gifts are so heartfelt and personal. Thank you. (You all will receive individual thank you's in the mail soon.) 

I have attached the final picture of the kiddos. Have a great summer!

4C Update - Spring Break Edition

Good Morning 4C Families,

Can you believe we are almost at Spring Break? That means the end of the school year is just right around the corner! #timeflies 

In 4th Grade, it's exciting because we are finishing our last couple months as OB students, and there's lot going on from here until May 19. So, let's look at a few of those things. 

Jefferson City Trip

Thank you for turning in the Jefferson City field trip form and money so quickly. If you haven't done so already it's okay; you have until next Thursday, March 16. If you have any questions about cost you may email me directly. We have our 4 chaperones for the bus - Michael and Matthew's moms, Braylon's grandmother, and Grisham's dad. Parents are welcome to drive and meet us there. 

As a reminder, the trip is on Thursday, March 30 (the week we come back from Spring Break). Please arrive at school by 7:30 am. We depart promptly at 8:00 am. We will arrive back at OB at 5:00-5:30.
