Homework for Week 11/23-11/27

_______________________________________________________

Dear Parents and Guardians,



Welcome to a brand new school year! My name is Amanda Allen and I am your child's fourth grade teacher! I would like to tell you a little about myself.



I graduated from East Carolina University in May of 2007 with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and a concentration in Child Studies. This will be my second year teaching at Wintergreen Intermediate School. During the summer I spent much of my time working on my Masters degree. I enjoy theatre, music and traveling. If you have any questions please ask!



You can contact me at school by phone at 252-355-2411 (extension 3242). You may also e-mail me at allena.wnt@pitt.k12.nc.us. I try to check my e-mail at least twice a day.



I also use new.schoolnotes.com. This website allows me to post homework assignments and any bulletins.  The address to our classroom page is http://new.schoolnotes.com/allen27858/.



I am thrilled to be working with you and your child this school year! Together we can be very successful!



Sincerely,



Ms. Amanda Allen

Our classroom treasure chest is available at the end of each nine weeks for students who have not lost any incentives.

If there are any parents who would like to donate to our class treasure box at any time we would be very thankful! : )
