2017-2018 Academic Year

 

Dear Families,

Please let me begin this letter with a huge “Thank You” for sharing your children with me this year.  When I met them in the Spring they were all wonderful human beings and I feel privileged to be their teacher for fourth grade.

Some grown- ups may wonder about homework for this classroom.  I really try to keep it as consistent as possible so that the students, as well as their loved ones, know what to expect each evening.  Here is a general homework schedule.

*** Please Note***Sometimes we will have changes, but we are working on being flexible some this year.

 Monday Nights:

Spelling– practice words and rule(s). Get your spelling test from last week signed by a Grown- Up and bring it back to Mrs. L. on Tuesday.)  *** CHANGE THIS YEAR: I am working with the kids to do their written work in class, so your child should only have to do written work toward the end of the week, if at all.***
