Please mark your calendars for Clovis Math Night on Tuesday, February 5 starting at 5:30 pm with dinner to follow.  There was a brief description of the activities in the January Communicator.  More information will be coming home soon.


There is No School on Monday, January 21 due to Teacher Inservice.


Book Orders are coming home today.  If there is anything you would like to purchase, please do so by Friday, January 25.  Here is a copy of what Scholastic Book Orders sent me in my email this morning.  It is about changes to the pricing of books.

From Scholastic

Following a recent Supreme Court ruling, most states now require retailers to pay state and local sales tax where applicable. Below is important information on how this may impact your classroom ordering process.

Online Orders

Parent online orders will be charged applicable sales tax. The amount will be automatically calculated and applied at checkout.

To help reduce the burden of this additional expense, we have lowered the prices of all items online (with the exception of $1 books, which will remain the same price). We hope this will encourage families to order online and benefit from these savings!

Paper Flyer Orders

There are no additional charges for paper flyer orders and nothing extra for you to collect or calculate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Homework: Reading - read 20 minutes Math - practice flashcards

My class has earned the most Cougar Paws of any fourth grade, so they received a Sky-Ticket from Sky Zone for 30 minutes of free jumping and a chocolate chip cookie.

Please mark your calendars - the 4th grade field trip to the Milwaukee Brewers game will be on May 8.  Each class will be able to take 8 chaperones.  In order to chaperone you MUST have a Volunteer Background Check done.  I put a copy of the procedures in your child's mailbox today.  If you are thinking of volunteering, please get that background check done so you don't forget.  If you have already done a background check, it is good for 3 years - so please just check the expiration date to make sure you are current.


Please continue to play the working memory games that you were given at Parent/Teacher conferences.  Ms. Scott and I have seen an improvement, but the more your child can play these games the better for their working memory which is linked to concentration, focus and stamina. A strong working memory also helps with Math and Reading.

Welcome Back to everyone and Happy New Year.


We are beginning our Mythology Unit this week.  We will be studying Mythology for 3 weeks.  To end the unit we would like to show the movie Percy Jackson.  Since this is a PG rated movie we will need your permission for your child to see the movie. A permission slip went home today.  If you do not want your child to watch PG movies at school, there is a spot for that on the permission slip also.


I will accept December Reading Minutes until Friday this week.


A letter will be going home tomorrow about a Sledding Acknowledgement on Friday.  Any student who has all their assignments turned in by Friday will be able to spend our TGIF time on Friday sledding down Clovis Hill.
