What's the best way to contact Mrs. Werbke?

The best way to arrange a conference, ask me a question, or relate a concern
is through e-mail. You can click on the email button on the left side of this
page, or address it to: sharon.werbke@cobbk12.org. I have better access to
email than voicemail, so I check my email much more frequently. Of course, if
you don't have access to email, you can call the front office at 770-578-7200
and leave a voicemail.

What if I need to change how my child is going home today?

Every student has a "regular" way to go home every day.  A note from home is
required to make any changes to that procedure. The only exception to the
written note is if a parent calls the front office and asks that their child
go to ASP. A parent may also drop off a note at the front office. The front
office calls the classroom at 2:00 p.m. to inform the students and teacher of
any changes.

My child says there's no homework today, but I want to use this opportunity to help my child. What can I do?

1) Talk to them about the book they're reading.  Ask them to retell the story
in their own words and tell you what they like or don't like about it.
Encourage them to dig for details.
2) Play a math facts game. Fourth grade math assumes a knowledge of basic
multiplication facts. Students who are automatic with their facts tend to have
an easier time with 4th grade computation. Example: Multiplication War:
Shuffle a deck of cards (face-cards removed and Aces = 1). Pass all the cards
out to two players. Keep your cards in a stack face down and the two players
turn over the top card of their stack at the same time. The first person to
state the answer to the multiplication fact made by the two cards wins the
pair and adds them to their stack. Play continues in this manner until all
cards belong to one person or time is called and the player with the most
cards wins. In the case of a tie, play the next two cards on top of the cards
that tied.
