Welcome to 4C!

WE ARE 4C

Dear 4C Parents,

Welcome to a new and exciting grade! Fourth grade is an intermediate grade and is very different than the primary grades. You’ll soon see why!

            I am excited to be your child’s teacher and look forward to working with you. I’d like to give you a few tidbits of information that will help make everyone’s transition to school a little easier.

The Planner

Each day your child will bring home their planner (assignment book), where they are responsible for writing the daily assignments in the planner and keeping it in their binders. I will initial each student’s planner after they have written down the assignments, and I ask that you initial each evening when they have completed their assignments. It’s inevitable that as the school year gets along you may not initial each evening, but it’s important to start the first semester doing this to help the kids establish strong study and organizational habits.

Friday Folder

Each Friday the children will bring home a blue plastic folder with graded work, notices and other important information. There is a pocket for papers that are to stay home and a pocket for papers that are to be returned to school. Folders are to be returned to school on Mondays.

 Open House

The OB Curriculum Night is Tuesday, August 26, 6:30 – 8:00 pm. At that time I will discuss curriculum and expectations in 4^th grade. You will also be able to sign up for the first Parent/Teacher Conferences @ signuupgenius.com

Me Bags

This weekend students are to work on their “ME BAGS”. The instructions are inside the bag and are really easy. They fill the bag with 5 items that help describe them and what’s important to them. If an item is too big to fit in the bag they can put a picture (photo, drawing, cut-out) of the item in the bag. We ‘ll be sharing bags all of next week.
