Here is your second to last (!) fourth grade newsletter for the year. Time continues to fly by as we near the end of the month. There are still many exciting things to look forward to and participate in, so here are your updates: 

• Spring Concert: The spring music concert is tonight. Students left their recorders in the gym this morning, so they should be prepared for tonight. Please remind your child to wear a black shirt this evening for the concert. Students did an excellent job this morning!
• Singing in Church: Students are playing in church this Sunday for Pentecost! Please take note of the reminder that Ms. Bremer included in the Echo email today for all information regarding this Sunday.
• Picnic: Sign up forms went home this week for our end of the year school picnic. This will take place after Track and Field Day, on May 30. If you are attending Track and Field Day, you (all parents) are also encouraged to join us for our picnic! Please return all forms and payments no later than Tuesday, May 21.
• Wax Museum: Our Wax Museum date has been set for Wednesday, May 29. Please continue to practice your child's speech with them at home and encourage them to think through what they would like to wear on the day of the museum. Our "exhibit" will take place from 9-10am and families are welcome to attend!
• Math Test: Our final fourth grade test will take place next week on Wednesday. We will be taking our chapter 12 math test Wednesday morning. This test will cover decimals and money. 
• Chaperones: We have an upcoming field trip to Shalom Wildlife Center on May 28. We are allowed an unlimited number of chaperones, so if you would like to attend, please reach out and let me know! Chaperones are asked to meet us at the Wildlife Center at the start of the field trip. Our permission slips will be going home on Monday of next week.
• Port Washington Summer School: If you live in Port Washington and are looking to enroll in summer school this summer, we were given information from the school district this week to sign students up for classes. If you are interested in enrolling, please email myself or Mrs. Gieschen (denise.gieschen@splgrafton.org) to be connected.
