What do I do with a graded homework assignment or test?
Bring it home to your parents so they can see your work and help
you correct it.
What do I need for Specials?
Mrs. Wing,(Art) Mrs. Calabrese,(Gym) and Mrs. Belardo (Music)
will let you know the first full week of school which will start
on Monday, September 12th.
What do I do with a graded writing assignment?
Show it to your parents, sign, and return to
Writing Folder. (Including drafts and graphic organizers.)
How many chapter books do I need to read by June?
New York State curriculum requires 4th graders to read
at least 25 chapter books by June. All genres. We will go to the
town library once a month to get books, as well as use the class
and school libraries.
What type of snack can I eat in class?
Any kind of non-sugary snack is good. Healthy, with protein, is
best.
Water during work time. Juice is good for snack time and cafeteria.
Why should I bring home my content area notebooks several days a week?
The best way to study for Social Studies, Science, and Religion is
to go over the vocabulary words you've looked up and written in
your notebooks. You can review them until you know the
definitions, or make flashcards to study with. Upper grade
students need to study a lot in order to do well. You can do it!
I just received a Homework Pass. How do I use this?
You have one month from the date of issue to use this. You always
get a homework pass for your birthday; it's good for one homework
assignment. Of course, this does not excuse you from studying for
a test or completing a long-term project.
Can I stay after school if I need extra help with a subject?
Yes! I will let your parents know which days are good at Back to
School Night- Thursday, September 15th.
Will I become better organized this year?
Absolutely! Part of my job as the fourth grade teacher is to get
you ready for the upper grades where you will have to move from
class to class for different subjects. To do that, you'll spend a
lot of time looking at schedules, preparing to begin lessons on
time with the right supplies, and learning how to work together-
COOPERATION! Listen carefully and you will do well!
