What a great first week. Students are getting adjusted to fourth grade beautifully and we have our curriculum ready to start Math on Monday. I have added a Weekly Slide 2021-2022 on the classroom blog. This is if your student is out then they can always see what we are doing to stay caught up! They also are coming home with their books in the binder. Many have a 1 inch binder and the books do not fit in a one inch binder. Please if you are able to get a 2 inch binder so they can be organized. If you cannot they will just be loose in their backpacks.
Friday Folders and Weekly Reports are starting today. This will come home every Friday and need to be returned on Monday. (Tuesday is fine as well as I know weekends and Mondays are a little crazy.) Please take out all papers and just return the folder and yellow sheet that will need your signature! When we start taking assessments I will paperclip assessments for you to go over and they will be signed and returned. (No assessments this week)
Ask students about their islands they created this week. We will be presenting them next week and they will have time in class to write their speech as well as practice. Some may want to bring it home next week to practice. Encourage them to practice so you can hear about their islands they created!
We just got word from the district that the Art Docent program is up and running so I am looking for at least one parent to be the lead Art Docent for us as well as a couple parents that can come assist the day we do the lesson and art. I will not know the days until I hear from the Art Docent!
Lastly, the blog is something for you to check as often as you want. I will put a daily post describing what needs to be done or what we are doing in class.
As usual do not hesitate if you have any questions or concerns as I am happy to chat! Have a great weekend!
