Welcome to fourth grade ILA! Please visit this website often for important information.
Since so many students are attending the Ice Cream Social tonight, students so not have to write UNLESS they need to work on their independent writing project for Wednesday's Writer's Museum.
I am still working to grade Writer's Notebooks and reading logs. As I mentioned on Back-to-School Night, the first Writer's Notebook and the first two reading logs will be practice grades so students will get a feel for my expectations. I hope to have all Writer's Notebooks and reading logs graded and returned by Wednesday, September 26th.
Students should continue to maintain their current reading log until Monday, October 3rd when they will receive a new one. Student should read at least 30 minutes each day at home. The best way to become a better reader is to READ, READ, READ!
Conferences will be at the end of October. I placed a sign up sheet out at Back-to-School Night and will do my best to honor the times you have requested. if you were unable to sign up at the time and have a specific conference time request please email me within the next few weeks as I will be finalizing my schedule soon.

Announcements
Since students have many books to carry between classes in 4th grade, I have suggested they bring a small tote bag to help as they move from room to room. It is not required, but definitely helpful.
If you would like to donate items to the classroom to help us stay healthy and organized, the following items would be greatly appreciated:
- Clorox/Disinfecting wipes (for desks, chairs, tables, etc.)
- Tissues
- Ziploc-type bags (snack size, sandwich size, and gallon size for Word Study sorts and independent reading books)

A few reminders...

what's going on in our class!
All ILA books and notebooks should be returned to school the next day and brought to class. Please check your backpack each night to make sure that your books are coming back to school!
Please click the button below if you would like to receive an email or text message
notification when this page has been updated.
Students are responsible for emptying out their mailbox each day. Please remind your child to check their mailbox and I will do the same.
We have a WORKING snack each day around 10:30 am. Please send your child to school with a healthy, easy-to-eat snack. I do not allow any drinks besides water bottles in my classroom during snack due to the chance of sticky spillage and ruined books and papers. Thank you for your understanding.
