Wonderful Week in 4th Grade

Dear Parents,

The children have adjusted to 4th grade life.  The curriculum is more in depth and the pace is faster.  Students need to keep on top of schoolwork and organization.  Please check planners and Homework folders nightly to stay on top of what we are doing in class.


Homeroom Parent
Thank you Sarah Stankes and Christi Blackley for volunteering to take on this roll.  I also truly appreciate the other parents who have offered to help our homeroom parents!  Thank you so much!!


Spelling
For the remainder of this year, we will now be conducting our spelling tests on Friday instead of Thursday.


Multiplication Facts:
It is pivotal for facts to be mastered.  Students should know 0-10 facts. If your child does not know these, please work with them nightly.  This practice can be done with flashcards, computer, you call out numbers, etc. Not knowing these well impedes our upcoming two-digit by two-digit multiplication and division units.


Back to School Night
Back to School NIght will be Tuesday, September 11 at 7pm in my classroom, room 216.  This is a very important informational meeting for parents and for that reason we ask you to make arrangements for childcare.


Breakfast
If your child is eating breakfast at school, please have your child promptly  at the cafeteria at 7:20. Your child will need to get their food, sit down to eat, clean up, and be in the classroom at 7:40.
