Welcome Back!

I would like to welcome you to fourth grade!  I am very excited to see you at Open House on August 23rd!  My room number is 402.  I would like to let you know that we have fun and exciting things planned this year!  I expect that you work hard, be responsible for your work and become a strong independent learner.  Below is a list of other items we will need to make this year successful.  If you can donate any of these items it is greatly appreciated. I am also including classroom rules and other critical information about your school year.

Items for Donation

Index cards 3 x 5

Equate Baby Wipes

Kleenex

Gallon Size Zip Lock Bags as well as Sandwich size

Games/Gameboards/Cards (UNO)/Kickballs

Classroom Rules:

In fourth grade we follow a "strike" system.  If the student displays inappropriate behavior or is irresponsible, they are given a strike.  The consequences are as followed:

1 Strike-Warning

2 Strikes-Silent Lunch

3 Strikes-Phone call or note home

4 Strikes-Conferences with parent, student and/or principal

5 Strike- Immediate Office Referral

(These "Strikes" may change throughout the year)

Rewards:  Verbal praise, positive note or phone call home, coupons for good behavior (lunch with a friend, extra computer time, etc) and Fun Friday or Marvelous Monday.

A final note:  Thursday Folders and Agendas:  We will send home folders every Thursday.  This folder will contain your child's work for the week as well as other important information.  Please look over the work, sign that you have seen it and return only the folder on Friday.  Your child's agenda is a very important tool for them.  Please review it each and every evening and initial it.  I will contact you often through the agenda.

Thank you for taking the time to review some of the beginning of the year information.  At Open House, your child will receive this information again as well as our class schedule.  Have a wonderful remainder of your summer!
