Dear Families, September 2017

Welcome to the four grade!  I am looking forward to an exciting year.   I hope to work closely with each family.  

Communication –It is important that we keep the lines of communication open.  Please check your child’s planner everyday, in the planner you will find a list of ALL the work we did that day. If it is not complete it will have the initials H/W with a circle around it for homework. By listing ALL the assignments that we did in class allows you to have a general idea of what we are studying or working on so you can ask your student specific questions about it. I will check planners before students leave each day.  I ask you to look at and sign your child’s planner every day too. Feel free to write notes in the planner if you have questions. You may also email me any time!

I will encourage you and your child to log onto the classroom blog and Class Dojo. I will have students begin logging on in class and learning how to navigate the sites so they can show you at home.  We will be using google classroom and drive, both are an application that can be used anywhere in the world on any device. It will be helpful to dowload the app on your device and then have your student’s school gmail account to get it working from home. On the app you will have information on assignments and classroom news. Students can even get copies of assignments and see the daily planner snapshot!

Homework – Please have your child read for 40 minutes and practice math facts using flashcards for 15 minutes every evening. Your child will sometimes have homework outside of reading and math facts. Please stress the importance of completing homework assignments neatly, carefully, and turning them when they are due.  Again, look for an H/W in the planner.

Snack – It is essential to keep your child alert and motivated throughout the school day. Students will be encouraged to have a healthy snack (fruit, vegetables, crackers, cheese, dry cereal, etc.)  The opportunity to eat snack will be given while we are still learning and working so there is no time to stop to wash, peel, or prepare snacks.  Please DO NOT send cookies, cupcakes, fruit snacks, or fruit drinks.  Your child may bring a refillable water bottle to school each day fill with water only.

→ Please see the orange Week at a Glance for students – Google Docs that is in your child’s binder. I tried to list out and organize as many of the weekly assignments as possible to help keep students (and families) organized.

Finally, thank you for your support.  I am looking forward to a fun-filled year of learning with your child(ren). My goal is to help each child work their way to fifth grade, I know that if we all work together, we can achieve that goal!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Brady

Wow! It’s been an interesting few days. I hope that you and your family are safe and warm! 

We have quiet a few things that we need to move around and make sure we get done next week. Here are some updates:

1. Spelling Word Work– please complete as much as you can by Monday. I will collect whatever you have done on Monday. I will add whatever is completed correctly to your grade as extra credit.
2. Spelling test– we will not be having a spelling text for Week 25 (this past week).
3. Social Studies assessment– We will review and practice for our Federal Government test Monday and Tuesday of next week. Our test will be rescheduled for Wednesday 3/15. If you are able, studying over the weekend would be very beneficial. Use Google Classroom (if you can) to go over the slides 🙂
4. Science quiz– Mrs. Shupe has pushed the science quiz  back to Monday, don’t forget it’s open notes, so have your notes ready!
5. Final Draft of weekly writing– Please try to complete a final draft and I will collect it on Monday. I will add it to your grade as extra credit if you are able to complete the 3 paragraph final draft.
6. Task cards– students who have completed task cards for this past week will receive extra credit toward their math grade.
7. Holes– If you are able, please read up to chapter 48. I’m hoping we can finish the book & a writing assignment next week so we can have a Holes reward celebration on Friday.

Please know that I know not everyone is able to be at home and there are a lot of extenuating circumstances. We’re going to make the best of this unusual situation. Do what you can and bring what you can on Monday.

I would like to give a huge shout out to our Mid-Winter Break Assignment Champions! These students completed all of their Mid-Winter Break assignments in full and on time! Nice work!
