Supporting Our Troops

We collected snacks to send the U.S. Army Soldiers in Afghanistan and wrote some letters to thank them.

Some Cute Little Turkeys (and cupcakes)

A sweet treat for the sweetest fourth graders at Beauclerc Elementary School.

Beauclerc Adopts an Army Unit

Our student council service project was a super success! We have a truckload of goodies ready to mail to the soldiers in Afghanistan.

MOSH MOSH MOSH

We enjoyed the exhibits, Energize Me show and the planetarium.  Check out Gina's hair!

November Flag Raising

Even the chilly temperatures could not keep Beauclerc 4th graders from our monthly flag raising.

Brass Quintet Concert

Thanks, Mrs. Laymon for the special musical treat!

Punctuating Dialogue

Elbow macaroni quotation marks helped some fourth grade writers with the punctuation in dialogue.

Burying "Dead Words"

After finding synonyms for our overused words, we celebrated by making tombstone cookies for our dead words.

Beauclerc's Night at Pizza Palace

    Isaac - awesome job convincing Mom to bring you to Pizza Palace.

 So nice to see these beautiful Collins ladies at Pizza Palace.  Thank you for supporting Beauclerc!

   #5 and # 37 having fun at Pizza Palace (and #15 at the next table).  We missed you, Patrick!

I knew Erik and his family would be at our Beauclerc Family Night.  

They have spectacular school spirit!!!

Fourth Graders Bury DEAD Words

Today in Writers' Workshop we discussed a strategy to add concrete language to our stories.  We decided to "bury" the boring, overused words and replace them with more descriptive synonyms.  Here is our Dead Word Cemetery.  R.I.P. dead words!
