Nice to see everyone!


It was so nice to see most of you this week and talk about the progress that your children are making. A copy of the conference notes and any additional paperwork that you wanted will be sent home on Monday.

I just wanted to give you a heads up about an interesting program taking place at Dartmouth Public Libraries on Tuesdays between October 27th and December 1st. Students between the ages of 7 and 10 are invited between the hours of 5:30 and 7:30 to read to a therapy dog. Please let me know if you want to attend and I will go, too. I hope to check it out one of these Tuesdays anyway. I have big hopes for my dog to be a therapy dog someday....but he's just a bit too "energetic".

In Social Studies we will be finishing up our whaling unit next Friday. We completed our board games and passed them along to another 4th grade group. We completed a rating scale to give feedback about the creativity of the game, clarity of directions and fairness of questions that were asked. The next time we meet in our whaling groups, we will see what our peers had to say.

Halloween is coming and with that means the annual Friends Academy parade. More information about that will be sent home at the beginning of next week.

Have a nice weekend! ~ Mrs. Lawless
