We are off to a great start in fourth grade! The students are quickly adapting to their new schedules and staff. We are now the "big kids" on the floor and are working on setting good examples for our younger students. We are Prayer Partners with the Pre-K 4's, and once again it is our turn to model appropriate behavior at Mass.
Each week we will have at least two times tests to help reinforce our basic fact skills. In order for our students to fully comprehend the concepts in Math, they need to have a strong foundation for recalling their multiplication and division facts up to the 12's. Flash cards or on-line apps are excellent tools for practice at home.
Spelling tests are every Friday. Please have your student practice their spelling words each evening.
I am asking that assignment notebooks be reviewed and signed by a parent each evening after completion of the assignments. This helps our students become responsible early in the school year for their homework.
I appreciate all of your help in getting our school year off to a smooth start.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gilmore
