One Week From Today!

Wow! In one week we will be just about finished with our first day of school! I am working really hard to put the finishing touches on our classroom. Each year I change it just a bit and this year I think the set up is the best one yet. It makes me so excited for you to see it. As I look forward to next week I'd like to share with you three things I am looking forward to this school year and three things I am looking forward to doing during my last few days of summer! I'd love to hear from you! What are you looking forward to? What do you want to do with your last few days of summer?

Three Things I am Looking Forward to this School Year

• New books! We must have over 100 new books in our library! 
• We have a new projector in our room! No more messy cords! Hopefully I learn how to set it up and use it by the first day of school! 
• Getting to know each of you and learning with you every day! 

Three Things I Want to Do During My Last Days of Summer

• Finish the book I am reading! 
• Enjoy a beautiful day on the lake with my husband's family
• Take a hike with my husband 

You can email me at mfinnerty@cbrsd.org with your responses! See you soon! 

Love,

Mrs. Finnerty

So much to be proud of!

This morning I came in to our classroom to find this note waiting for us...

Our message to students this year is that their actions impact others. This was such a great example of how spending 1 minute picking up our classroom at the end of the day made the custodian's night easier! It was such a small action on their part but had a big impact on Jim :) I am so proud of our 4th graders and the impact they have on the people around them! We were also the proud recipients of the Dustpan Award for the cleanest classroom last week! 

What a great way to start a rainy, dreary Monday!!

Halloween

Halloween (Tuesday, October 31st) will be a pajama day in 4th grade! Students may wear their pajamas, robes and/or slippers to school. Tuesday is a P.E. day so please make sure you have appropriate sneakers with you!

Students may also choose to wear a superhero t-shirt or sweatshirt instead of pajamas.

Students may also wear a Halloween or fall themed t-shirt or sweatshirt instead of pajamas. No costumes please!

I will provided a sweet treat at the end of the day!

In keeping with our wellness policy, please do not send candy to school with your child for a snack.

*Similar to the last two years there will be no costumes worn at any grade level at Kittredge.
