Hello Roughnecks!

Here are some things coming up:

Next week, (February 1 -5) three week progress reports will be going home with your child.  

Possibly, in the month of February, the 4th grade students may get to go to the symphony at LeTourneau.  More to come later.

Also, for February you can’t forget Valentine’s Day.   A list will be coming home soon with the students’ names.  Please start  buying your valentine’s now.  

For the month of March, be on the look-out for Texas Day in 4th grade.   Mrs. Z is working very hard to plan many activities that will be a lot of fun for the students.

Also, in the month of March, the students will be taking the Writing Practice Taks test.    Be on the look out for that date and make sure your son/daughter is ready to go on that day.

It is so strange how things can change so quickly in our lives.  But, I do know the blessings we are given are countless!

To my family I want to say I love you and God has truly blessed me!

To my coworkers (also known as family); Thank you for giving me the blessing of working with such wonderful, caring, people. 

To my kids parents:  Thank you for giving me the blessing to teach your child this year.

To my kiddos!!  Don’t eat too much turkey!!

I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!   Take the time to tell others you care about them, and you are thankful for them.   After all, the greatest blessing in life are the people  you love.

                                                       HAPPY  THANKSGIVING!!!!

Today marked the last day of Red Ribbon Week. Intermediate students brought the house down during the morning talent show. In the afternoon the fourth graders had another chance to show even more talent. Each student was furnished a pumpkin and paints. Please view our showcase of the creative results.

Well HOMECOMING 2009 is here and it will be a very exciting day!!!    It will be wonderful to see the exes of White Oak come back to the school to visit the campuses.    There are so many activities planned, along with the football game and the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, and don’t forget the parade on Saturday.    I am looking forward to seeing all of you there.   How many of you have parents that graduated from White Oak?  How about grandparents?    That would be awesome, to be a generation of Roughnecks!!!

Have a great HOMECOMING weekend!!!

Dear Parents,

Just a note to let you know you should have seen you child’s homework binder.  It will come home several times for you to review the students papers before reports go out.    Right now in math we are working on decimals, with tenths and hundredths, and numeration.  

Please look at your child’s planner daily so you can see any notes and homework, tests, etc.

Thanks!!!!

School is back in session, and we are starting off with a blast!!!
I have a great group of kids that I want to welcome to 4th grade this year. We will be doing many exciting things.

We are starting our novel, A Paradise in Texas. This is about a family that moves from Germany to Texas. Do you have any one in your family from another country? If so, let me know. We are going to be studying about Germany, and learning some of the different language as we are reading!

Also, we are working hard on numeration and place value in math. The students are learning to write numbers in standard form, word form, and expanded form up through the millions place.
We are looking forward to a wonderful year!!

Last Tuesday night the baseball boys were recognized by the Mayor and the City of White Oak.   It was a great ceremony with each boy receiving a proclomation.  The board also elected to have a sign made in recognition of the hard work and making it to state for the first time in White Oak Baseball history.   Congratulations to the the boys for a great season!  Looking forward to another one.

This is a message for all of the Roughneck Baseball Players.  What an awesome job you did last Thursday, June 11th at Disch Faulk Field in Austin.   We are all so proud of you!!!  Also, to all of the fans that came to Austin, THANKS!!!  It is great to see so much support for the boys.

If you don’t know there will be a special ceremony for the boys this coming Tuesday, June 15th at City Hall at 6:00 p.m.   The Mayor has gone to a lot of trouble for the boys so come out and support them and let them know how proud of them you are!!!
