Weekly Notes from 4^th Grade

I am excited about having the students use Chromebooks in the classroom, and I think the students are too. We used them every day this week. We used them for English lessons in Nearpod and getting our Google Classrooms set up.  I think we are on the roll.

We are progressing along in our subject areas.

Religion, we will have our Religion test this week.  For our first Religion test, I allowed the students to use their books.  I want them to see what the Religion test looks like so they will be prepared for upcoming Religion tests.

Vocabulary test will be this Friday.

Students need to log into Quizet.com and create a userid and password. Please make sure that you child knows his or her account, userid, and password, so when they come to class, they can log into Quizlet.com.

Reading, last week, we read a story and determined the problem, the actions, and then the solution. Students are doing nicely following this flow. Friday, September 13th, we will be celebrating our Summer Reading with Mrs. Main.

A few students did not complete homework or forgot to bring completed homework back to school. This past week was their grace week. Starting on Tuesday, if students do not bring homework back to school or homework is not complete, I will send an email to document missing work.

Green folders came home this past Friday.  I stapled all of their work together.  Please review your child’s work, sign it, and return it in the green folder.  I will keep the papers for the nine weeks and then return them after report cards go out. Thanks! I know this is a little different from previous years.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many Blessings,

Welcome to a new school year and to the fourth grade!  I am so pleased to have your child in class this year.  I consider it a great privilege and responsibility to be your child’s teacher and have this opportunity with you.  I will do my best to ensure that each student has a motivating and safe learning experience in this classroom.  I have spent time making our room a comfortable and welcoming place that will facilitate a safe, secure feeling to ensure academic success.  However, I cannot do this alone so I am asking for your help and participation in supporting a partnership in this learning process.  It will be a challenging and exciting year and you can help your child succeed by encouraging him/her at home; helping to ensure that they have completed their homework assignments, done their reading, and occasionally help them study for quizzes and test when necessary.

Open communication is probably the most important component I can ask you to participate in.  I will give you advanced notice of test or project due dates and of events occurring in the classroom.  Most communication will be via email which works best for me.  If this will not suit, please contact me so we can work on other alternatives.  I check email everyday, usually multiple times.  My other contact information will be distributed at Elementary Parent Night.

Please try to attend Parent Night, Thursday, August 15^th, as we will be discussing classroom policy, absences, class rules and behavioral expectations, conferences, homework policy, holidays, and field trips.  We will also begin discussing curriculum for the year.   If you cannot be in attendance, please let me know so I can get information to you or meet with you at a more suitable time.

Conferences…  Anytime!  Please do not wait for official conference times to schedule a meeting with me.  If your child is experiencing difficulty or you have any type of concern, please let me know as soon as possible.  I can be available before, during (as the student’s schedule allows), or after school.

Many Blessings,
Pat Rony

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Please remember to work on IXL.
