4th Grade Christmas In-Class Project

Good afternoon!

What a whirlwind of a week!  Coming back from a holiday and then having a sick kid!  We did have a great class today!  Next week, fourth grade GT will meet on Thursday as I will be out on the 1st and 2nd Grade GT field trip on Tuesday.  We will begin our Christmas Card Project and participate in Hour of Code.  Below you will find the information about the Christmas Card Project.  Please don't forget to bring your items!

You'll also want to continue working on Khan Academy at home.  Remember your goal is 50% mastery to eat lunch in the classroom the last week before Christmas break.  So far one person has reached that goal and a few are following close behind.

As usual, please fee free to ask if you have any questions.

Next week in GT class, we are going to do a special Christmas card project.  In order to make your Christmas card more personal, I will need you to bring in some items from home.  You will need to bring 6 - 10 items that tell about you, your likes, your dislikes, your hobbies, your accomplishments, your family, etc.  

For example, for myself I could bring:
  • A picture of my family
  • My Coca Cola Christmas ornament to show where I went on vacation this year
  • A book because I love to read
  • One of my willow tree angels because I collect them
  • My grandmother’s Christmas ornament because I like to decorate like she did
  • A baseball because my family and I visit baseball stadiums around the country

The items you bring will need to fit in a box or bag that you can carry on your own - so they don’t need to be very big or very heavy.  Also, I wouldn’t bring anything too valuable.  If you like to play video games, I would just bring the video case or the video game controller.
It will be fun – so don’t forget!!
