To all of my 4th graders moving on to 5th grade in August...
It really was the BEST YEAR EVER!
Have a safe and enjoyable summer.
Love,

Suggestions for A.R. reading at home:
30+ minutes each night
or
50 pages per night
or
.5 point book (non-fiction read 3x)
and success will be yours! Once the Bingo A.R. Bingo board is filled with one complete row, students may read any genre he/she would like to make up the rest of the point goal for the quarter.
I hope to hear “BINGO!” shouted often in my classroom this quarter.
Communication
Weekly Progress Reports will go home each Friday. Look inside the brown envelope on Friday for a yellow Communication Folder. The contents of the 2 pocket-folder are to be "kept home" or "signed and returned" on Monday. Information on the weekly progress report will include: reading progress, test scores for the week in academic subjects, behavior notations and comments/notes from me. Besides the daily communication we will share through the student's agenda, this is a weekly update that will keep our home-school connection on target.
Email me from this website! Sign up under "notify me" for weekly updates to your email address.
Homework
Your child is required to read for 30 minutes per evening (Monday through Thursday.) Additional assignments will be written by the student in their agendas. Homework is checked daily and all homework must be turned in by Friday to receive credit. Please make a note in your child's agenda if homework was not completed because of difficulty or family commitments. Also, it helps to know about early dismissal for doctor appointments, change in dismissal transportation, etc.
