4th Grade

Dear 4th Grade Families,

I hope you all are doing well and taking care of yourself! I have truly missed each of the students and their smiling faces. Here are some bullet points of what is coming after Easter Break. At the bottom, you will see multiple ways to get in touch with me. Some of the work that will be assigned (starting 4/14) will be review; but, some will be new content.

Students - starting Tuesday 4/14 -

• I will begin posting on my Google Classroom, work that should be completed and turned in (online) by each Friday.
• There will be paper packets available. Please contact the school if you need a paper packet vs online assignments.
• If you need a paper packet, please pick up all 6 weeks at the same time (at HRMS). Below are the due dates for the work to be returned to school for me to grade.
  • Due Dates
    • Packet 1 - due back to HRMS by April 24th
    • Packet 2 - due back to HRMS by May 8th
    • Packet 3 - due back to HRMS by May 22nd

• Students, you will see a checklist, like normal, to help keep you on track for each day. Please do NOT wait until the last day to work on everything. This can be very overwhelming and will cause extra stress on you and I do not want that to happen.

• Spiral Review - Reading Comprehension - You will have a passage for each day. With questions to answer (like you have seen already this year).

• NEW - Word Study - I have given you the word study chart at the top, with the features (and what they mean). You will have 1 activity to complete each day.
  • Videos will be posted to help explain this.
  • Paper packets - may call me - for me to help with explanation of these word features (see below for phone #).

Daily virtual office hours

• Monday 1:00pm - 3:00pm
• Tuesday 3:00pm - 5:00pm
• Wednesday 5:00pm - 7:00pm
• Thursday 9:00am - 12:00pm
• Friday 9:00am - 12:00pm

• Ways to get in touch with me -

  • Phone calls 540-307-0994 (this is a # through Google Voice - it will show up as a # from “Dublin, VA”)

Please take care of yourself. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with me. I miss y’all like CrAzY!

Love y’all!

LET’S STAY ON TARGET!

Dear Students and Parents,

I am extremely saddened by the events taking place in our country at this moment, but I am very confident that our students have been prepared to take on this task of distance learning. Since we already use Google Classroom very frequently they should be aware of how to interact with me on a daily basis after Easter Break when class begins.

Learning will be offered via Google Classroom or through printed packets that will be available for you upon pick-up at the school. Whether you decide to continue learning virtually or in paper form all assignments will be due every two-weeks. Students will have an opportunity to work on these assignments at their own pace, but I advise working on small amounts daily in order to prevent procrastination and falling behind.

WEEKLY WORK WILL INCLUDE

• Spiral Review Sheet Monday - Thursday
• multiplication/division facts review (3 times a week)
• Current Unit of Study notes, guided practice, independent practice, study guides, quizzes and tests.

I am offering office hours for students and parents throughout the week Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. During these times parents or students may call or text to speak with me about any skills or assignment concerns they may have (276) 692-8196. I will also be offering Zoom virtual meetings for students to attend throughout the week. Students will need to check Google Classroom / or their email for Zoom times being offered weekly. Zoom Meetings are not required as long as your student is keeping up with work and you both have no concerns or questions about the Unit we’re working on.

I pray you all stay safe and well.

Love,

MRS. STOKES
