Skeleton Book Report
Last week I assigned the students in my Reading class a skeleton book report. The students have chosen the books they would like to read for their book report. After reading their books, they will fill in the required information on their skeleton template. The parts of the skeleton will be assembled with string or yarn. The book reports are due October 20th. Please talk to your child about the book they are reading, and encourage them to be working on their report. This is an important reading project that should not be put off until the last minute. I look forward to reading their skeleton book reports.

PA Trivia Contest
Each year 4th grade does a Pennsylvania Trivia Contest. Our trivia contest is similar to a spelling bee. Today the students received a list of Pennsylvania trivia questions. On May 13th we will hold a classroom competition to narrow it down to the top 10 students in Room 202. On May 26th those students will compete against students from the other 4th grade classrooms. Please encourage your child to spend a little time each day studying the questions.
Animal Reports
Just a reminder that animal reports are due Tuesday, May 3rd. The books seem to be coming along nicely, and I am very excited to see the final results.

Turn Off TV Week
Just a reminder that Keystone is celebrating TV Turnoff Week from April 11 to April 17. I encourage you to have your child participate. Now that the weather is finally getting a bit more spring-like, please encourage your child to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Remember that board games are great for rainy days. A favorite that I like to play with my children is Skip-bo. My students love to play Apples to Apples when we have inside recess. Please have your child return the form that was sent home. One winner will be selected per grade level.
Animal Reports
The students are off to a great start with their animal research. We have finished up the research, and now students are working on their rough drafts. The rough drafts are due on Friday, April 15th. Today, I handed out the blank books that students will use to publish their report. The final project is due on May 3rd. I am very anxious to see the final product. The students have really been doing a great job with their research.

Sandwich Book Reports
On Monday, I assigned students a sandwich book report. The students chose their books and have been reading them through out the week. I gave them a packet of directions and sandwich pieces to complete their book report. Book reports are due on January 26. I encourage you to have your child tell you about the book they are reading. You might even want to read a couple of chapters together. Happy reading!
