Fitting Together!

We have made it through our first week! The first week of school is always like a “puzzle”. The students truly came together with teamwork! We’re going to have a great year!

Papers

All school notices, papers, and signed papers are sent home every Friday. Please sign any graded papers and send them back with your child on Monday (don’t worry there aren’t any this week). :)

Supplies/Update

Parents,
With the hustle and bustle of the first few days of school we have been trying to get all the kids schedules in order as well as school supplies. We are in MAJOR need of extra black and white composition books. Some students were not able to get all their supplies for school. In an effort to support these kids if you are willing to donate any extra composition books please send them in with your child.
Also, those students who will now have Mrs. Causey for homeroom will start reporting to her tomorrow. If you have any questions please let me know.
Also, this week we (the 4th grade team) were “light” on the homework. Now that all schedules and materials have been handed out please expect more homework next week. If your child has me I will also be sending home more information on how homework is utilized in my room.

Thanks for you continued support!

Memories

Be sure to ask your child about our book today and the homework they have on memories.

ADJECTIVE FUN! FIRST DAY!

What a great first day! We had a little fun using adjectives in class today! We're off to a great start!

Help on Monday...

If any parents are willing to help organize school supplies after school on Monday will you please let me know. We would like the kids to come in on Tuesday and have everything in place.

Thank you,
4th Grade Teachers
