Dear Parents,

Welcome to a new year! I am really excited about being your child’s teacher this year. Fourth grade is going to be a year full of fun, learning, and lots of adventures and I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for us! Much of your child’s success will be determined by the communication between school and home. I would like to welcome not only your child to my class but you as well. I consider us a team in working towards a quality education for your child. I look forward to meeting each of you at our open house on September 12th.  

Homework

Each night check your child’s planner and Dojo to find out about the important events and the daily homework. Your child will receive reading homework daily. It is very important for your child to read 25 minutes each night. 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.  It is necessary for your child to complete all homework and have an adult look over the homework. Please do not do your child’s homework for them. If your child does not understand the assignment and no one at home can give them assistance, simply write a note on the homework. This will help me to know what your child may still need to work on.

Studying

Throughout the school year, I will be sending home study guides for upcoming tests.  I will also conduct review sessions with students where they will take notes and ask questions about the test.  This is a skill that they must learn to practice. It is important that they know if a test is a few days away that they begin preparing for it.  If they learn good study habits when they are young, they will carry on in life.
