Greetings!! December is a very busy and exciting month in Parkinville! We are looking forward to our holiday break and the wreath on our classroom door tells us it's coming soon.
Friendly Reminders
There are lots of fun dates to remember in December. Mark your calendars....
Dec. 10th - 4th Grade Field Trip to the Maine Historical Society and Longfellow's House in Portland. If you volunteered to chaperone, Mrs. Parkin will be emailing you.
Dec. 13th - If you are participating in the Parkinville Charitable Giving Project, the donations are due on the 13th for Camp Sunshine, the USO and Make a Wish. Mrs. Parkin has a Donation Station set up in the classroom that is ready for business. Checks should be made out to the organization (not YES). Just a friendly reminder....this is completely optional.
The Publishing Party is also happening on Dec. 13th. It starts at 8:15am. Please let Mrs. Parkin know if you can bring a (relatively healthy) breakfast item.
Dec. 18th - 4th Grade Chorus & Orff Concert @7pm.
Dec. 20th - Last day of school before winter break.
Science
Our Lima Bean experiment is still going strong. We have learned that the lima beans can grow without soil, because they have nutrients inside the bean to help them grow. Take a look at Jack's lima bean!
Last week, we cut the leaves from our salad greens and ate them!! They were delicious and now the leaves are growing back!

Math
We took our Unit 5 Assessment today on partial products. We are math ninjas! The Unit 4 Assessment is going home today. Please review with your student. Also, at this point everyone should be close to meeting the 48 out of 50 multiplication facts. Please practice every night!
Reading
We are still enjoying The Young Man in the Sea. Skiff discovered that his lobster traps had been cut by Tyler, the bully. Skiff is trying to figure out how to handle the situation.
Writing
We are working hard on our final drafts of our fiction writing and can't wait to share them with you at our Publishing Party on Dec. 13th!
Shares
We are enjoying everyone's shares this month. It's fun learning about everyone's holiday traditions.
Thanks for reading our blog! See you next week....
