To the Amazing Families of the Fourth Grade...

To the generous families of Room 308, I would like to send a warm holiday greeting to the students and the families who make teaching fun this year.  Thank you all for allowing me to share in the special moments that make the season bright.  I look forward to a new year filled with exciting challenges and adventures in learning.  Have a wonderful break.  Thank you again for including me in your holiday spirit.

Sincerely,

Mr. Crame

Circumstantial Evidence...

Kindle Classroom

Today and yesterday we got to use the kindles to read books associated with social studies. The 2 books we could read are Indian Captive or Pilgrim's Landing. I'm reading Indian Captive. The chapters in Indian Captive are SUPER long. I've only finished a little bit more than a chapter. The kindles are really fun to use. There are page switching buttons on each side. Also, these kindles are tricky. I accidentally clicked on the sample of Indian Captive, but I couldn't get to how far I was. Then, Mr. Crame told me it was the sample. Oops! Okay, I gotta go and do my work. Bye!

It's that time of year again.  We'll be making the list and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty not nice.  We have reflected on a year full of mistakes and missteps and have decided to write about the most dastardly deed of the year.
We have invited some Evil Elves from the South Pole to help determine whose deed is worthy of the coveted Coal Confessions Award.  Take the time to publish your writing and be prepared to present your best, I mean your worst this Thursday.

Barnes and Noble Book Fair Tomorrow

Please support the school by attending the Barnes and Noble Book Fair.  Just mention ERGC Bookfair at checkout to ensure that the school gets the appropriate benefit of the proceeds.  Give the gift of reading this holiday season and benefit the school  at the same time.

I'll be a guest reader at 5:15 PM. From the schedule it looks like I will be opening for the Zumbatomic group.  I'll be sure to launder my leotard. I will also be introducing a new novel to the fourth graders.  A novel that just might become... The Next Big Thing in Fourth Grade.
I hope to see you all there.
