Hello parents,

The first few days were so much fun getting to know the students, playing fun games that taught class room procedures. I am so excited to start diving into 4th grade material starting Monday. We will begin learning math place value, Wordly Wise vocabulary, and moon phases in Science. 

Students have begun practicing writing homework down in their planners. (Right now it is just "get my packet signed.") I check their planner before they are able to pack up and go home. You can always check their planner for homework assignments. I put the assignments on the class webpage as well. 

I gave out a fun project today that will be due on Wednesday. It is called a "me bag." Students will fill a brown paper bag with fun things about themselves. I have a sheet that went home today, detailing what needs to be included. I am excited to see what students share on Wednesday. I told them their only homework is to get their packets signed. If I get all packets signed and returned in the class by Monday, I told them the whole class would get money. 

I have loved these first few days, and can't wait to start our first full week together on Monday. I will begin assigning homework next week. Spelling words will start the following week, 8-21. If you have questions about anything please don't hesitate to ask!
