Welcome to the 2010-2011 School Year!

Hi, 4th grade students and parents! On this page, you will find reminders and a list of upcoming events as well as what we will be working on in class. 

Reminders:
  • Homework is assigned nightly in my class.  All students should be filling out a homework log that I provide them and have a parent or guardian sign off that the homework was complete.  Students who complete all their homework will receive a quarterly prize.  If a student chooses not to complete their homework, they will be finishing their homework during their break time.  If any questions or concerns arise about any assignment, please write me a note and attach it to the homework, as I would be more than happy to help or answer any questions. 
  • Please make sure that all Library Contracts are signed by both the student and parent and returned to me asap.  Students will not be allowed to check out books until all contracts are returned. 
  • Please save and donate any Box Tops and soda pop tabs to help our school earn money!
