WELCOME
My name is Mrs. Castle and I am very excited for the new school year! I hope to teach your child with fun and exciting experiences, and share my love and enthusiasm for learning with each and every student! As our school year starts, I am looking forward to working with each child and involving families in the successes he or she achieves this year. This being said, please read over the following together and contact me with any questions you may have either by email or phone. I can be reached via email at lcastle@tcusd3.org or by phone at Memorial School (217) 287-7929 between 8:00 and 3:30 each school day.

Take Home Folder
Each night, a yellow folder will be in each child’s backpack. It will serve as a means of communication between school and home. This will have graded papers, along with important papers parents will need to go over when needed. Please look through the folders each night, and return the folder with any necessary papers the next day to school.
Homework
In fourth grade, the only homework the students will have is to study. I think it is very important to learn good study habits, and HOW to study for each child’s individual needs. We will be discovering ways to study in class and your child will bring these techniques home and apply them. We will have tests throughout the year. I will provide students with materials to study and bring home. This will allow additional study time outside of the classroom. This way, when they go into fifth grade they will have plenty of practice with best studying habits!
Breakfast
Each morning, we will have breakfast in my classroom. If a student does not like what is being served, he or she may bring something from home and eat with the rest of the class!
