I am looking forward to this new school year. There are lots of new things to be learned and new friends to be made.
My goal for this year is to help your child to be an independent and responsible learner, as well as, to show him or her how to make responsible choices. To accomplish this goal, there will be regular homework and we will be making the most of our class time. My expectations for the students this year will be high. They will need to work hard and do their best but if today is any indication, I know they are up for the challenge.
The focus this week is building a community within the classroom. An understanding that we are all different with our own strengths, weaknesses, skills, and unique qualities is key to the success of all students. Yesterday we brainstormed classroom rules and goals. It was interesting to see the variety of rules that groups came up with. Today we pared all of the rules down to a set of ten rules through compromise.

Tomorrow should not be as hot or as stifling as the past two days We will continue to run the air conditioners as needed. It is less interruptive to the day if students had a refillable water bottle. Many of the students had them today if you have not sent one in perhaps you will consider it.
Thank you all for sending your paperwork in so promptly. Now we can start to use the technology available to us. We will be using computers a lot this year. In addition to our Social Studies and Science curriculum, the computers will be handy for researching Project Based Learning activities.

Again, thank you to all of the families who generously sent in classroom supplies. It is a huge help and very much appreciated!

The students brought home A LOT of paper work today. Much of it needs to be signed and sent back to school. Please try to get it back as soon as possible. Students also brought home their homework assignment books for the first time. This is new for the students . All homework is written in the assignment books and should be checked and signed by you as an indication that you are aware that and assignment was given and that it was completed.
Tomorrow and Wednesday is going to be EXTREMELY hot. We will run the air conditioners but it would also be healthy and less interruptive to the day if students had a refillable water bottle. Many of the students had them today.
Thank you to all of the families who generously sent in classroom supplies. It is a huge help and very much appreciated!
I look forward to another successful day in 4th grade tomorrow.
Stay Cool
