Welcome to Schoolnotes. Welcome to Schoolnotes.

 
 

****I just wanted to tell you this site is quite the entertainment lately, so please know I try to update it daily, but it doesn't always agree with me. I have emailed the site manager several times and they are working on the glitches. Please email me if there is something you really need and can't find it on here.

 

Hi there! 

    Welcome to the 10th week of school.  We began our new unit "Dollars and Sense."  We will be reading many different stories that focus on the art of running or creating a business. 

 

      Please visit Schoolnotes.com often. It will have helpful reminders of the week's homework as well as daily updates. Also it will have an overview of the objectives we are trying to meet for the week.  If you have questions or concerns at anytime, please feel free to email me at jmerrill@aacps.org. or call me at 410-222-6577. Also feel free to drop in to talk before or after school.

* Every week there will be a homework chart that comes home on Monday for Spelling homework. It will have the spelling words on it as well as the challenge words and the bonus word. Please keep it in a safe place such as home folder or refrigerator.

*All graded work will be coming home on Mondays. If there are assignments that need to be re-done or a test that needs to be re-taken, please ask your child to re-do it if it is classwork, and if it is a test, to sign it and then send it back to school. We will then work on it together at recess or another free time during the day to correct the mistakes or I will have your child re-take the test on another date. 
 
*Every night, please initial the assignment book noting that you are aware that all homework was completed and also if you could kindly remind your child to put their name on their paper.
 
*If you didn’t know this already, Mr. Wiles already has a walking/running club that He kicked off on Family Fitness Night. He encourages the kids to do it at recess all year. He has had it for the last couple of years and with the trail marked out, it has been really great. If anyone would like to come and walk or run, they are welcome as well. Our recess starts at 12:30 pm everyday. J 

*Treats for Mr. Pepe Pig would be most appreciated, for he loves to eat.  He loves celery, carrots and romaine lettuce. Please no ice berg, it will make him sick. Thank you for loving out pig.

* Reading logs are due in on Monday of every week. These are the logs that come home on Monday that each child has to record what they read and have signed by the parent on a daily basis. Every fourth grader is responsible for reading 20 min a night.
