Dear Parent,
Now it's easier than ever to find the perfect books for your child -- shop our NEW online Book Clubs Web site. Choose from a much-wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to me online and use your credit card to pay.
Best of all, we earn a FREE book for the classroom library every time a parent places an order online.*
It's so simple! Here's how it works:

SIGN UP at www.scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Register" button in the "First Time Here?" section. Register for your own user name and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code shown above. This unique code ensures that your order is sent to me.
SELECT the books you'd like to order -- choose from thousands of titles -- many more than in our monthly flyers.
SEND your order to me online by the due date and your child's books will be delivered directly to my classroom.
Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure.
Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer. But why not see for yourself how convenient it is to order online?
Thank you,

Tara Olshaw

1) a. In the story, Stuart creates a cape to help him be brave. Give some examples from the story of how the cape helps him face his fears…or gets him in trouble.

2.) a. Stuart has to face some tough times in the story. Give some examples of
challenges he faces in his new school.
b. Tell about a time you faced a difficult situation. What did you do? What helped you through this time?

an invention all your own. If you could invent anything (magical or not), what would it be? Use your imagination to describe your invention in enough detail that I can picture it. You may draw a picture if you would like.

Award Night

 

Congratulations to Billy and John for their chosen selections in Lahey Clinic’s Healthy Heart Calendar for 2012. Every year the fourth grade students from across Burlington submit an illustrated entry depicting what is needed for a healthy heart. The great work is then sent to Lahey Clinic where the tough decision is made, to select only twelve entries for the upcoming year’s calendar. This is no easy job and is judged by experts in the field and their patients of the Cardiac Unit.


Thank you Billy and John for helping these patients learn lifelong healthy routines through your amazing work.

What a great start to the year we have had! We spent time exploring the room and getting to know each other. Cooperative team work allowed us to successfully create guidelines for being safe, responsible learners in our classroom. To add to our great start, the student’s creative imaginations gave us plenty of opportunity to share stories from this past summer’s adventures.
