Welcome to Fourth Grade
Welcome to an exciting year of learning and fun at Sequoyah Elementary School! I am looking forward to working together as a team to help guide your child in the learning process. During this year your child will be challenged and supported to expand their knowledge.
Class Dojo will allow me to communicate to all parents, send/ receive individual messages, and share photos of what is happening in fourth grade. If you download the free app from the app store, it allows us to communicate through messages (which is like a text message).
Please make sure you sign up so I can communicate with you.
This light blue folder will come home daily and needs to be brought back to school every morning.
On the back cover, you will find a monthly calendar of events.
Completed work will be sent home in the folder on Tuesday. The pocket will hold all graded work as well as other papers completed in class that need to go home. Not all papers are graded and may have been guided practice.
I believe that extra curricular activities, sports, time to be creative, down time, and family time are all very important. I also know that students need to be reviewing important skills they are learning at school. My solution for this is monthly homework. This allows families to have flexibility on completing homework.
There will be a monthly math homework packet that will go home the first of the month.
We will start homework in September.
Check monthly calendars for homework due dates.
Students will be able to review skills, learn time management, and work on responsibility.
It is highly suggested students read for at least 20 minutes each night.
1 Backpack
1 Pencil Pouch
Water Bottle
NOTES:
To help keep our classroom carpet clean, students only need to bring WATER in their water bottle.
Students do NOT need individual extra supplies (fancy pencils/pens/markers/etc), fidgets, or toys. Please talk to me if there is a special circumstance and we will come up with a plan.
Scholastic Book Clubs is a great website to order books! If you would like to order books at anytime during the year, feel free to use this link.
With your orders, our class receives points that allows me to purchase books for our classroom library.
