***WELCOME TO THE FOURTH GRADE

SCHOOL NOTES PAGE***

Welcome Autumn!

Many thanks to everyone who came in for conferences.  It is always helpful to share information with parents and keep the lines of communication open.  If you did not have a conference and you would like to meet with me, do not hesitate to get in touch and we can set up an appointment

MATH NEWS:  As we continue with our Fourth Grade Math curriculum, it is becoming evident to me that some students could use extra practice in basic Math facts.  This includes addition and subtraction facts (to 20) , multiplication and division facts (through the 12 times table).  By this point in Fourth Grade all students are expected to have these facts memorized.   If your child is still using their fingers or Touch Math to do these calculations, I must ask you to review these facts nightly with them.  Success in Fourth Grade Math (and beyond) requires complete memorization of these facts.

SCIENCE NEWS:  Now that the state budget has settled, our new Science series is finally here.  We will transition to the new books at the conclusion of our Life Science Unit.  Please be sure to look for this new textbook to come home in the next few weeks.

SIGNED ASSESSMENTS:  Tests, quizzes, and class assignments that receive a grade are sent home once per week to be reviewed and signed by a parent.  I ask that a parent signs each item, and that you sign your name rather than initials.  Please be sure to do this on the first night that your child brings them home, as this is considered a homework assignment for your child.

SUPPLIES:  Please be sure that your child is coming to school with at least 3 sharpened pencils every day.  Each child should also have a ruler, red pen, highlighter, and calculator each day.

HOMEWORK:  Thanks to all who have been supervising your fourth grader's homework.  As I explained at Back-to-School Night, I do not expect or want you to sit with your child while he/she completes the assignments.  What I do ask is that you look over each assignment and sign the homework assignment book nightly.

COMMUNICATION:  If you need to contact me, the best way is by email:    hmsgr4_gullotti@hotmail.com and I will make every attempt to reply within 24 hours.  You can also send in a note with your child or leave a message at the school office.  I usually return phone calls during my prep periods or after school.

Mrs. Joan Gullotti
