'Twas the Day Before Winter Break ...

Today has been quite a fun day in 4th grade.  We had such a great time at Celebrate Carroll this morning.  The choir did an amazing job singing for us.  Our class also was awarded Class of the Month for Art!  I am so proud of all of the kids for earning this big accomplishment.  I may have acted a little crazy going up to get the award because I was so pumped for the students.  We also had a great time at our holiday party.  A special thanks to all the parents that were able to come and help out.  It was a HUGE success. 

I am so thankful to teach your precious children.  They are each such a precious gift!  Thanks for sharing and entrusting them to me daily.  It brings me so much joy to know, teach, and love them!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Monk

They sang beautifully! 

Spelling Bee

Today some of our students participated in the school-wide spelling bee.  They each qualified by scoring high enough on the written spelling test last week.  Each of these 4th graders did INCREDIBLE!  We are so proud of each of them.  I was able to snap a quick shot of each of the students that participated from our class.  The winner this year was also a 4th grader.  It is the 1st time in the school's history that a 4th grader has ever won the spelling bee.  Hannah Zhou we are so proud of you!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Monk

Way to go Hannah!  We are so proud of you!

December Fun

I can't believe we are already halfway through our time together in December.  Where has this month gone?!?!  The students are working SO hard in writing and reading.  I couldn't be more proud of all of their hard work.  There is a few fun things happening that you are already aware of, but I wanted to share them on the blog as well.
Dash has made his appearance in our class, and the students are loving it! Students love seeing where he ends up each day, and he has definitely helped keep our behavior great so far.
The teachers wanted to put something together for the students to let them know how much we love them and appreciate all of their hard work this year, hence the 12 Days 'Til Winter Break. The students should be coming home daily with a new surprise for the next day!
Also, if your child has not already watched the flipped video for Friday's lesson, I have added the link to the blog as well.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Monk

Dash keeps us entertained. 

Here is the link to the flipped video for Social Studies.
