Welcome to our first blog post of the year! We will always update our blogs on Mondays for the current week, so make sure to check back often :) This blog is what we call our "front page blog", where you will find important, general 4th grade reminders and the homework schedule for the week. We also maintain content blogs where you can find more specifics about what we are learning in our current units. These can be found under the 4th Grade Blog header at the top (hover over 4th grade blog and the content area drop down will appear). :)
We are excited to embark on our second week in 4th grade!! We had such a wonderful time getting to know your sweet kiddos and we are so excited about the new year! We have been working hard learning all about 4th grade in general, class and school rules, and classroom procedures. These kids are already rocking it, and we are so proud! What a wonderful group!
Some General Reminders and Announcements:
Blue Folders/Signed Papers: If you have any remaining signed papers that were in the blue NPE folders from Sneak Peek please send them in. We want to make sure we are all up to date with our student information! :) Also, please make sure to check your kiddos blue folder regularly! Many important papers will be making their way home these next few of weeks :) We typically send home important papers/flyers on Thursday, though some quizzes/tests may come home on other days (we try to send them home asap.) Also, please don't forget to sign the Thursday Folder cover letter so we know that you have seen everything in your kiddos folder.
Technology/Google Classroom Permission Slips: Last week students took home a packet from Mrs. Bercher that will allow students to use various websites and devices (Chromebooks) at school. We are lucky enough to be going 1:1 in fourth grade (where every kids gets a Chromebook assigned to them), but these permission slips must be signed in order for your child to participate. Please make sure to send these in as soon as possible. The earlier they come in, the earlier we can start using this wonderful resource! :)
Agendas: Students are to show you their agendas on Monday night. On Monday morning during homeroom we write in our homework for the whole week, along with any upcoming important dates. You only need to sign for Monday to indicate that you looked at the homework for the week. We will check for your signatures on Tuesday morning during homeroom. Homework will officially start this week (8/14).
Class Dojo: We will be sending home Class Dojo access codes this week so be on the lookout. Class Dojo is a wonderful resource for parents to see how their kiddos are doing throughout the day/week! :) More info coming soon!
