~Expect homework nightly. Please look at your child's planner to see what homework they have and sign that they have completed it. 

~Fourth grade is a year in which we encourage responsibility and independence. Hold your children accountable for listing homework in their agenda and having all the materials they need to do work at home and at school.

~Ways to help your student at home:

 Have them work on any of the digital platforms that we use during the school day. This includes: Reflex, Readworks, Moby Max, and Epic.  Ms. Hennessey provided some math websites during open house that can also be used.

Study nightly with spelling and vocabulary words.

Make sure your child completes all homework and any other incomplete work in their  green homework folders nightly.
