In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

Royalty of the Universe Week


Because I believe all boys are princes and all girls are princess, I am once again hosting a royalty of the week. Each week a student will be the prince or princess of the week. She, or he, will get the Royalty of the Universe bag on Friday. The next Monday, the student may bring photos to display in class. On Tuesday, the student may show and tell three items that are special to him or her. Wednesday, we will read a letter written by you, the parents, about how wonderful and loved your child is. I will include paper and envelope in the Royalty of the Universe bag for your use. This will also be displayed in class. On Thursday or Friday, parents are invited to have lunch with your child at school, if possible. On Friday, the prince or princess is crowned and then hands the bag to the next prince or princess. After everyone has participated, we will have a "royal ball" to celebrate all the prince and princess of our classroom. I will be sending home a schedule so you and your child know which week they are featured as the prince or princess. There is also a schedule displayed in the class.
