Fourth Grade Free Press Mr. Fox’s Class Friday, November 12th, 2010 Hi Families, We had a great week in here filled with stories about Chinese culture and adding numbers in to the millions. I want to let you all know how great it was to get a chance to talk with you at conferences. It is always fun for a teacher to learn a little bit about how a student is outside of the classroom! Our class has started a book buddies program with Ms. Hanson’s second grade class. Each student in Ms. Hanson’s class is paired up with a student in our class. Our first couple of visits with our new second grade friends went very well! We will continue to have book buddies every other week for the rest of the year. Zach J. will be our Star of the Week person next week! Thank you very much for everything you do for your kids! If you have any questions for me please don’t hesitate to e-mail or call. -Mr. Fox Upcoming Dates: November: Friday 12th– School Wide Pajama Day!
