It's going to be a great year! Use this page to keep up on what's happening in our classroom. Remind will be updated more than this page, so it is important that you sign up for the remind app or check back on this page often as the Remind feed is attached here too.
Supplies: Our supply list is long in 4th grade. Over the course of the next few weeks, please don't stress over more than the basics. In our classroom; we use flexible seating which means storage of extra materials is difficult. Your student may come home with some of their extra materials. Please tuck these supplies away for later. I apologize for any inconvenience.
This website will be updated on occasion but generally monthly. Again, the remind is used more often.
Topics listed on this page serve as a general outline of things we will be learning over the course of the month. Students are expected to complete assignment notebooks everyday. That is the most up-to-date list of daily activities.
I will do my best to give at least 2 days notice of a test unless it is a check-up. Study guides may be given in some areas but not all and not for every assessment. Assessments are used to see how much information a student is retaining from instruction and practice. I am hoping we can, parents and teachers, instill upon students early that learning is something that takes place with active participation and attention, not by memorizing a study guide to forget the next day. Ideally, students will begin self-assessing as the year continues so that they can begin to understand their own level of understanding. Let's get them away from the mindset of "I have to have an A." Instead, let's teach them to strive for the best grade that represents what they really understand and teach them to reach for understanding and the ability to use the information being learned.
4th grade is a big year for kiddos and for parents. These young ones will be expected to be big kids. Together, we will work on accountability and perseverance. There will be success and remediations. The great thing is we will have fun doing it too.
Thank you for being supportive. I look forward to working with you all.
