Congratulations on completing the first day of Fourth Grade!
During this week, students should be taking home a few books each night to be covered and returning them the next day until all textbooks (in book sox or paper) and soft covered books (in contac) are covered by Monday.
The handbook "Math At Hand" should be kept in a convenient place at home for use during the year. This is a handy resource for homework help and for review. These books will be collected in June.
Students received a form today to update your information re: address, phone numbers, contact persons, signatures, etc. On the back is the form for procedure at dismissal. Please complete both sides of this form and return to me.
For homework, complete both sides of the Math worksheet B13 and B21. These should be done for speed and accuracy with the goal of completing each side in a minute.
In Reading, complete the graphic organizer "Great Greens". The worksheet on the Pledge of Allegiance has been completed and checked and should be removed from the folder.
Reminder: "Summer Counts" books are due tomorrow.
Regarding supplies:
Many thanks to all who brought in tissues and paper towels!
