Welcome to 4th Grade. We look forward to working with you and your family. There will be a lot of work this year, but you will also learn a tremendous amount. Our best advice? Keep in touch, as we will explain everything as we go. You are going to have your best year yet. Let's go!
Every day your child has snack between 9:00 and 10:00, depending on the day.
Snacks must be dry, quick and healthy. No peanuts because of allergies. No chocolate either.
Fruit, vegetables, crackers, and cheese are all examples of healthy snacks. Dessert items should be saved for lunch.
Good news! Homework is simple and flexible this year!
Homework is given Monday through Thursday. Students have a math assignment, a vocabulary activity, and 20 minutes of reading.
We will explain it all shortly!
