week 1-4-2010

Welcome 2010!!!!!!! Yeah!!!

Welcome back 4th graders. I hope all your Christmas wishes came true. I hope that you had a great vacation and time with your families! It is 3rd quarter, and It is time to transition to being 5th graders. We will be working really hard, but I know that you CAN DO IT!!!!! I hope that everyone has been working on math facts and daily reading----- Well get to it if you haven't done it yet, ha ha!!!!!



Red Cards- red card policy will change from 5 to 4 red cards in a week before a detention. The biggest red card violations are not getting your planner signed every night and not doing a homework assignment on time.



Homework/ classwork board--- I will still write the work done on the board every morning , but it will be your resposibility to check their planners to see what work needs to be done and what books should go home every night. This is something that most students do already and haven't missed work. Please remind your child to this each day and please check planners BEFORE you sign to reassure them that they have been responsible. ALSO I will lock my door before I leave each day, and the janitor will not open the door if your child has forgotten anything. This is a learning opportunity that will help them when they get to 5th grade.

Auction update- If you have not sent your $10 donation, please send it in this week!
