Dear
Students,
This week we entered the month of November, which brings even more
fun. We will discuss elections,
Veteran’s Day, OIA Olympics and Thanksgiving.
I have several exciting activities for us to complete throughout this
month; however, we need to work on our stamina. We have built great self-paced math stamina
as well as read-to-self stamina, but we are lacking with our work stamina. It seems as though you all want everything
NOW. The problem is that 4th
grade is NOT a NOW year. In fact, no
grade level from here out is a NOW year.
You have to realize the value of HARD WORK and PATIENCE. Not every problem has a quick answer, not
every assignment can be completed in 5 minutes, and not every project will be
finished the day you start. If you truly
want to be successful, not just today, but every day then we must build our hard
work and patience stamina. What do you think you need to do to build
your stamina, work ethic, and patience?
With that being said, we made great accomplishments with
week. On Monday, we presented our
Halloween Fashion Show as well as performed two Halloween readers’
theaters. Then we picked back up on our
Red Ribbon Week posters. Many of you
used all of your time wisely and were able to complete your poster entirely
during the school day…that is FABULOUS!
Others of you chose to use some time at home to complete your poster,
and that was perfectly fine as well.
While a couple of you needed to be pushed and pushed and pushed, and
redirected and redirected and redirected to complete your project on time. Which
category do you believe you fit in for this project and tell me why? I cannot wait for you all to view each other’s
posters and presentations. We will
complete that part one day next week!
Since we started a new month, we were
able to create our November calendar to begin with the end in mind. What
excites you most about November? How do
you plan to show you are a leader at NP this month? Remember that leaders do not always have to
accomplish BIG things for everyone to see.
Sometimes the best leaders do lots of small, unnoticeable tasks. We read a book about Susan B. Anthony this
week…she was ONE woman who made a BIG difference for all other women that
followed her. In fact, she died before
her big difference actually went into effect, but her hard work will never be
forgotten. How do you want to be remembered?
Thank you for being a part of my
class. Thank you for allowing me to push
you out of your comfort zone so you can be the most successful person you were
born to be!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Harrison
