Day Two

Families of Room 31 ~

We had another WONDERFUL day in fourth grade.  We accomplished quite a bit today.  We completed the first of our spelling inventories, our multiplication fact quizzes, our Hopes and Dreams (student goal setting for the first part of the year) and started working on our All About Me Bags.

A few important homeworking pieces for you to know:

1.  Please check to see that your child has completed their homework and SIGN their planner. Your child's planner needs to be signed EVERYNIGHT throughout the school year.  It is okay to initial if you prefer.  You will see that either I or Mrs. Grout, our fourth grade classroom aide, will initial each child's planner each day.

2.  Tonight your child will need to discuss with you a HOMEWORK PLAN.  Please review this with them and SIGN it.  Students are to bring this back to school TOMORROW.

3.  PARENTS HOPES and DREAMS -  Today your child will bring home a reflection paper for your to fill out.  This paper will help me get a better sense of your child through your eyes. Please take the time to fill it out and send it back.  If you need MORE TIME than tonight, please take your time, yet make sure you send it back to school with your child on Tuesday of next week.  If any of you prefer to type your responses, I can send it to your electronically. Please just email me and let me know.

4.  SNEAKERS - tomorrow the students have PE / GYM.  They will need to wear their sneakers EVERY THURSDAY.

Lastly, just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL for students this FRIDAY or the following MONDAY. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email or by a note.

Thanks for your support!

FIRST DAY - August 30, 2016

Families of Room 31!!

What a wonderful first day we all experienced!!!   I was so excited to have my room filled with eager and excited students!  

Today we spent some time with Miss Fallis – our music teacher.  We spent some time unpacking and labeling our supplies.   Some supplies  -  the extras we did not ask for, were sent home (or to be kept in their backpacks) as we don’t have room to store them in our small buckets. 

Today the children will come home with their planners and homework folders. The homework folder and planner are to travel between home and school on a daily basis.   In their homework folder are three forms that need to be signed and returned tomorrow.

    •  Fair Play Slip
    •  Nature Trail Form
    •  Bullying Pledge

Please review these forms tonight and send them back with your child in the morning.   I also ask that you:

    •  send your child to school each day with a WATERBOTTLE and SNACK. 
           Remember to be allergy aware!
    •  sign your child’s planner EVERY NIGHT throughout the school year.

Please clean out the blue communication folder and send it back to school tomorrow!

Tomorrow the students will have ART.   Our PE class will be on Thursday. Just a reminders - Friday is a day off for students as teachers attend a professional development training.

I look forward to a GREAT YEAR!   Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
