Thanks to everyone who stopped by to meet with me on Friday. It was nice to see that students and parents are as excited about starting fourth grade as I am.
I am posting a copy of our daily schedule below. Students will be heading to PE first thing on Monday morning, so please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. Monday and Tuesday will be full of introductions and procedures, but my goal is to begin teaching content by Wednesday and Thursday.
I have had several questions about homework. I will go more in depth at our Open House on August 25, but I did want to let you know now that students will not be bringing homework home during the first week of school. We will be learning and practicing the format for our review homework throughout the week. Monday, August 29 will be the first day students will have homework. Every night, students will have a review practice sheet to complete at home. This does include Thursday evening. Our review sheets will alternate between math and language review. First quarter will focus on language. During the week, students will be expected to complete several spelling and vocabulary practice assignments to prepare for our weekly test on Thursday. I strongly encourage you to set aside time each evening to check in with your child about his or her homework. If they finish their assignment at school, encourage your student to bring the assignment home and explain to you how they completed it.
See you all on Monday!
