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!
