May 29, 2012 Dear parents and students, Before summer gets into full swing, I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you. All sorts of treats, surprises, and little treasures have been finding their way to me ever since my birthday. On Wednesday, Mrs. Hurst presented a beautiful Hydrangea plant blooming with gift certificates to me from the class. What a perfect way to kick-start the Memorial Day weekend. I’ve enjoyed a Coolatta from Dunkin Donuts, dinner at Marlow’s Tavern, saw a great movie, (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), went shoe shopping, filled my gas tank, and even did some damage at The DeKalb Arts Festival. All of this compliments of my class, and I’ve only just begun to enjoy my many gifts. As you can tell, my summer is off to a great start, and I can’t thank you enough for your generosity. I have really enjoyed working with such a great group of students this year and getting to know their wonderful families as well. Thank you again and have a fantastic summer, Mrs. Pernaci
May 21, 2012 Hi Parents, Just wanted you to know that student workbooks went home today. These books were only partially completed, and the remaining pages would provide an excellent review for the summer, especially the grammar. Have a good afternoon, Mrs. Pernaci March 26, 2012 Hi parents, I've got 2 quick memos for you. First, registration forms for next year went home today. They are partially filled out and need to be revised, completed, signed, and returned. Next, a reminder about Technology night. Technology Resource Night is finally here. Technology Resource Night is THIS Thursday, March 29th from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
We will have 3 sessions running approximately every 25 minutes to learn
about different technology used in the classroom and how you can use it
at home. We will have 11 classrooms open with various software
presentations for you to choose from. We hope to see you Thursday.
Have a good night,

Dear Parents,
Teacher Appreciation Week was a big success. We were treated like royalty with breakfast on Monday, snacks on Tuesday, lunch from Panera on Wednesday, supplies for the classroom on Thursday, and a faculty luncheon on Friday. The surprises and treats just seemed to keep coming, and I'd like to thank all my parents for a truly memorable week.
With Much Appreciation,

Morning parents,
Before I forget, some information about Valentine's Day...
Students may decorate Valentine boxes or bags at home and bring to school on Valentine's Day. They are also asked to include everyone in our class when handing out cards. I have included our recent class list on this Webpage. We will take some time in the afternoon to exchange cards, no party is allowed, however if someone would like to send in cookies or a treat for the class that would be OK. Just let know.
Have a great day,
Mrs. Pernaci

Just wanted everyone to know that we are participating in the Six Flags Read to Succeed program. A parent letter and a student reading log was sent home today with all the information. Students are reading daily, so tracking it for the contest should not be a problem.

Mrs. Pernaci

Hooray! We made it through the first day, and what a great group of 4th graders I have this year. Everything went very smoothly with all students arriving on time, with a plan for lunch and for their transportation home. I have added a homework page to my Site, and unfortunately their is homework for parents. Sorry, this doesn't happen very often.
