Students are asked to follow the Dearborn Public School dress code. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IBlog<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please subscribe to my ibolg. &nbsp;I will be posting weekly spelling lists, weekly focus, and daily homework assignments. &nbsp;I will also post upcoming events such as test dates, late starts, etc. on the iblog. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communication: &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions or concerns about any of the work or tests, please do not hesitate to call or email me. &nbsp;I will not be able to speak during teaching time, however I would be happy to speak to you before or after school or set an appointment with you. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Snacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each day your child may bring in his\/her own healthy snack. &nbsp;Some healthy snacks ideas are: &nbsp;fruits and vegetables. &nbsp;Your child may also bring in a water bottle with a top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Studying<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the school year I will be sending home study guides for upcoming tests. &nbsp;I will also conduct review sessions with students where they will take notes and ask questions about the test. &nbsp;This is a skill that they must learn to practice. &nbsp;It is important that they know if a test is a few days away that they begin preparing for it. &nbsp;If they learn good study habits when they are young, they will carry on in life. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Homework\/Assignments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Your child will receive reading homework daily. &nbsp;It is very important for your child to read 20 minutes each night. &nbsp;In addition they may have to complete any work that was not finished during the day or complete a review assignment for something that we have already done in class. &nbsp;In science, social studies, and math, your child will have a study guide to study from before taking tests in these subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grades are not given for homework. &nbsp;However, if the homework is not completed or at least attempted the child will be penalized. &nbsp;If your child does not understand the assignment and no one at home can give them assistance, simply write a note on the homework or email me. &nbsp;This will help me to know what your child may still need to work on. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supplies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school will furnish basic school supplies. &nbsp;However, many students find it more convenient and may prefer to supply their own materials rather than share classroom supplies. &nbsp;Please label all personal items with student\u2019s names. &nbsp;These supplies will belong to your child, with exception to the boxes of Kleenex. Your support is greatly appreciated. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following items are supplies that your child should bring to school:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>2 boxes of Kleenex<\/li><li>1 box of sandwich bags, 1 box of freezer bags<\/li><li>Hand sanitizer<\/li><li>Wipes<\/li><li>1 pack of copy paper<\/li><li>Pack of pencils<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, I would like to welcome not only your child to my class, but you as well. &nbsp;I consider us a team in working towards a quality education for your child. &nbsp;I look forward to meeting each of you at our open house which will take place September 14 from 6:00-7:30. &nbsp;I encourage you to come and visit your child\u2019s school. &nbsp;Thank you in advance for being supportive and actively involved in your child\u2019s learning. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parents, Welcome to a new year! &nbsp;I am really excited about being your child\u2019s teacher this year. &nbsp;Fourth grade is an exciting year. &nbsp;Much of your child\u2019s success will be determined by the communication between school and home. &nbsp;Each night your child is expected to log onto the classroom blog where they will find [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":403,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-class-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=684"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":685,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684\/revisions\/685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/beydouns4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
