Revolutionary War Museum Due March 16th

I need to have your proposal by Thursday; remember, this is the gist of what you want to do.
You will not be approved based on first come first serve, but you will be chosen to represent part of the war based on your idea for the display.
You will need to have a title, and key guides for all of the objects on display. You need a tablecloth for your display table, and if you wish a tri-fold board.
You will need to ensure that your display focuses on your title.
The look of the display items should be authentic. You can make the items, print pictures, paint your own, purchase materials, or borrow materials. I have many items you may be able to use. I do not want anyone spending a lot of money on their display.
I encourage you to be creative. You do not have to stay within the limits of the table or tri-fold. If you have a hands on activity, or different concept for your display, I am open to it. Make sure to include what you plan to do in the proposal.
The actual date of the museum will be on Friday the 17th. Parents are welcome to sign in at the office to visit our museum. It will be open to the school as a whole.
This grade for the next nine weeks.

This is the link to the new museum opening next month in Philadelphia just on the Revolutionary War.

St. Joseph's Hearts and Cards Party

🎴
Image result for casino night
This year, St. Joe will be hosting the Hearts and Cards event instead of our annual Mardi Gras. This is an adult evening out complete with dinner, casino games, dancing, silent auction, and a cash bar. Each class will be making an auction item that you are able to bid on during the silent auction. Mrs. Dempsey is hard at work helping our class to create a wall hanging out of a small pallet. I'm very excited about this unique piece, and I'm sure it would make a great addition to anyone's home! This event takes place on February 11th from 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase in the office.

Mrs. Casto's Homeroom Valentine's Day Party


       Valentine's Day falls on an awkward Tuesday this year, which is never a good day for a party, therefore we should try to keep it simple. We will likely just partake in treats, pick our favorite Valentine's Day containers, open our Valentines, and watch a Valentine's themed show. If you would like bring a Valentine's Day treat, that would be great. I have listed what you would like to eat below.  There are 15 students in our class.






 Image result for valentines memeI really want to change the grammatical errors on this meme.
Do you see what is wrong?
















Be sure to give a Valentine to each fourth grader. If you want to give Valentines to people in other classes that is fine.
** Suggested Items: plates, cups, punch, water, Jello, chocolate covered strawberries, cookie hearts, cupcakes, chocolate bacon, fruit, doughnuts, pizza or breadsticks, chips.  Please do not feel obligated, I am happy with anything.
