Special Gym note!

The 4th graders will be starting a softball unit in PE next week.  We'll be going outside each day that the weather permits.  The students should wear appropriate shoes for outside (not their gym shoes) and bring a baseball glove if they have one.  If anyone has an extra glove (or two) that they are willing to bring to share with a classmate, that would be really great!

Thanks, 

Mrs. Page

Attention St John GR. 4 Students and Parents

We are starting our new Science Unit titled “Structure of Life.”  Part of this unit consists of looking at the life cycle of a plant.  An introductory activity to this unit includes taking a look at “Fruit.”  I am asking each student to bring in at least one piece of fresh fruit or vegetable.  This is preferably a fruit or vegetable that has a seed or seeds.  All fresh “fruit” should be brought to school on Wednesday April 9, 2014.

Some Suggestions include: apple, oranges with seeds, pears, melon, kiwi, green beans, pea pods, cucumbers, tomato, corn on the cob, peanuts in the shell, green peppers, strawberries, other berries with seeds, or any other type of fruit or vegetable with a seed(s).

Thank you! Mr. Breitwisch
