Welcome to Fourth Grade!

 

The countdown has begun! Students are working busily to be prepared on April 29th and 30th for TAKS Reading and Math. That's the day the boys and girls will show their skills on problem solving and critical thinking.

 

Ms. Pinkney's students are getting ready to research famous Black Americans!

 

 

 

 

  

 

The fourth grade always welcomes donations made to its grade level.  Some things that would be especially appreciated are used or new books, computer software, playground equipment, pencils, and paper.  Of course anything else school related would be put to good use!  If you have things that you would like to donate, contact your child's teacher, or Mrs. Betty Earl, the fourth grade chairperson.

We encourage you to take your child to the library to check out books.  The students visit the school library once a week and can choose from a wide variety of books there, as well.  Ask the librarian for additional recommended reading material!

 

The fourth Graders at Cornelius Elementary are earning money while they are learning.  This program is sponsored by the Learning of Houston.  Each book read enriches students in two ways.  First, students gain a wealth of knowledge and enjoyment by reading. Secondly, the students gain the knowledge of how one can get financial rewards by doing a good job.  The students earn $1.00 for each book read with a maximum of ten books.  In December, students enjoyed receiving their first of two checks.  Many students knew exactly what they wanted to buy with their money since Christmas was fast approaching.  All students are looking forward to receiving their next check.  Just in time for summer vacation!
