Way to go, Fourth Graders!
You can order books for your child through Scholastic Book Clubs!
Last quarter the 4th grade took the USA-SOS (Safe Online Surfing) Internet challenge (http://www.usa-sos.org). In this program students take a pretest, then complete 10 scavenger hunts on online safety and cyber citizenship. After the scavenger hunts, they take a post-test. The program compares the top ten scores on the post-test with grade level teams throughout the country. Right now our 4th grade is sitting in second place nationally! -from Mrs. Willets
