4th Grade Teacher

Conference Time
9:20-10:10
Meet your teachers Monday, August 11th!
Each week Mrs. Hawkins sends a "Lykins Links" newsletter out via email to our campus' parents. You will also find a weekly link on our facebook page. This newsletter is THE best source of information for you! Current events/calendars, policies/procedures for reporting absences, sign ups for visitors, menus, extra extension activities/groups, counselor news, and more are addressed. The grade level newsletters are linked each week - so you can get specifics on what our student(s) are doing. In addition, I send a personalized newsletter inside my weekly email so you know details for our class/rotation.
Communication
This year our class will be using the ClassDojo App. This will be another way for me to communicate with parents, in addition to emails and our weekly Newsletter. Please download the ClassDojo app before August 12th. I will send home a link via email or text message within the first few weeks of school for you to join.
We will be sending home ‘Thursday Folders’ each week. Please check these folders for notes from the office, graded work, and any other communication.
Students also have a 'Daily Folder', which travels with them and contains class planners/"to do" lists, unfinished work or work in progress.
The Parent Guide is an all inclusive, one stop resource for parents. Check it out - click the "Home" button at the bottom of this page, then scroll down to find answers to questions you may have on specific topics!

CLASS DAILY SCHEDULE
Snacks: Students may bring a snack each day. The snack should not require a spoon or be in liquid form, and easy to eat. Examples of suggested snacks are Cheezits, goldfish, granola bars, and pretzels. No candy/sugar please. Students may eat during morning meeting/WIN or save for dismissal time. Water bottles should contain only water. Please no stanleys, as they can get spilled very easily!
Birthdays: You may drop off store bought treats in the office. We will celebrate at the end of the day. Please check with me on class size as it changes throughout the year.
Homework: Regular homework is not sent home. Things you can do at home to help support your child are reading each night, practicing math facts using flashcards or online apps, or CISD approved websites.
Breakfast and Lunch: Served daily at 7:20 and 12:30. You will need to add funds to student ‘School Cafe’ account. Please note that students may also purchase snacks and ice cream, as you may want to discuss appropriate charging limits. Parents must sign up on the Lykins Links SignUpGenius prior to eating with their student at school (due to limited seating). If you are interested in volunteering for lunch duty, please reach out with dates available at any point during the school year!
Specials: Specials are on a six day rotation. Please make sure students wear tennis shoes on PE days, or stash a pair in their backpack for easy changing. *You may also want to pack a labeled ziplock with change of clothes as a "just in case"!
Label all student belongings, such as jackets, water bottles, lunchboxes, and etc.
Restaurant: I love all the things local! Papa Gs, Tender, Celina Asian Bistro, OMG Tacos, Simply Pho, Wing stop, and more.
Color: pink and leopard print
Store: Hobby Lobby, Lululemon, and Amazon
Snack: Dill pickles and white cheddar popcorn
Beverage: Skinny vanilla latte
Sonic drink: Sprite zero with cranberry & vanilla or a Dirty Diet DP
Hobby: Crafting, doing puzzles with my kiddos, working out, and going to the movies

Something to Note: I'm a pretty picky eater and typically don't eat anything that is a nut or taste similar. However, I do love candles and all things that smell good.
