Every Kid in a Park


Every US 4th grader is invited. By participating in the Every Kid in a Park program, you can visit and learn about your federal lands and waters right now. Ignite a passion for history and culture and spark a lifelong commitment to saving places that matter. Beginning September 1, 2015, any fourth grader can download their own voucher to gain unlimited, free access to any federal lands or waters for a year. This works really well for our class since our school is practically inside the Olympic National Park here in Port Angeles. See the link below:

Monday, September 19th, is Picture Day at Franklin. Bring your smile!

This Thursday is Open House here at Franklin. You are invited to come to Room 17 between 6 and 7 PM to see our classroom, student materials and artwork.

Your fourth-grader can show you his or her desk, self-portrait, textbooks, and a tour of our classroom.

We can also talk informally about events and projects coming up later this year. I hope you can make it!











Study Habits

Help your fourth graders succeed in school by doing the following things each day. Send them to school with some notebook paper and a few sharpened pencils. Ask them if they have turned in their assignments or have them ready to turn in before 8:10 AM. Spend a few minutes several times a week practicing subtraction facts (11-6, for example) and remind your student to read at home each day for at least fifteen minutes. These simple study habits along with good attendance are essential for your child's future in and out of school. I hope to see you on September 15th, for Open House here at Franklin.
