Dear Parents,
In honor of the completion of our Arawak’s and Carib’s project, I would like to extend an official invitation for you to experience the Grade 4 presentation of their masterpieces on Thursday, November 10 at approximately 12:30pm in the Grade 4 classroom. We would like to make this a grand presentation as I’m sure you have all worked tirelessly on this project.
As a fun way to merge our classroom topics, we’ve also decided to include some snacks that are mentioned in our class book Because of Winn-Dixie. A few students have volunteered to attempt to make some of these yummy treats for us. It would be lovely if you could come for a visit, if only for a few minutes.
Please let me know if you are able to make it.
Excited and anxiously waiting,
Ms. Suckoo
