Gagne's Goal-Setting Guides
Embedded Files
Hello Families!
WELCOME to Mrs. Gagne's ELA and Social Studies page!
I believe kids learn best in a supportive and structured environment.
In our class, we build a community of respect, kindness, and grit.
We set goals, celebrate growth, and encourage each other.
I am looking forward to a fabulous 4th grade school year!

We will visit the Media Center once a week to return and check out books. Students may also go on an as needed basis.
This gives students every opportunity to always have a book in hand.
Students write their homework responsibilities in their agendas each Monday. Homework responsibilities are always written in their agenda.
Homework: Students will have a Word Application List to study on their own. In addition, I ask that students read at least 20 minutes and complete a reading log (SEE BELOW) each evening. Occasionally, I will send home a reading comprehension practice page and/or a writing assignment.
**Word Application Lists and Newsletters are posted on our 4th Grade Team Page**
Thanks so much!
