Welcome 4th graders to a new year of school. I am looking forward to working with each one of you!
Remember to keep reading as part of our Accelerated Reading program. All of you should be very familiar with how the AR program works. Set your goals high and work on that word count in order to receive AR prizes as the year goes on. Also keep in mind that AR is a grade all by itself this year! Fifty percent of your AR grade is based on points while the other fifty percent is based on comprehension.
Please remember that children can make math corrections on any math tests. Each one corrected can be worth 1/2 of a point. This can make a huge difference in your child's grade.
I am always looking for any parent volunteers who would like to help label and enter accelerated reader books into my classroom data base, make copies, laminate items, etc. Please let me know if you are interested.
If you ever have any questions, please be sure to drop me a note and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Let's have a great year together!
