This week was another fabulous week in our fourth grade class!
I believe we're all settling in well and enjoying getting to know each other.
Some Updates:
-"Bathroom Passes" have been given to the students. I found that, as a class, we are asking for trips to the bathroom on a pretty regular basis. All of the class is able to go upon arrival at school, after lunch, and at some point in the afternoon. From now on if a student needs to go somewhere in between (which is fine!) they will use their bathroom pass. Once it's used it's gone for the day. If the same student needs to go again they will need to pay classroom money to do so. I will keep the amount lower (no more than $50) to not discourage those that really need to go, but also keep ones who are just looking to travel the halls from wasting money. (They're not very quick to want to give up their money already! This is great!)
-Wish List- As we settle in I have seen that our room could use some things. Please check out our list if you're interested in donating.
-COOKIE DOUGH FUNDRAISER!!! (We will have an assembly to get the students involved tomorrow morning, Friday the 21st) PLEASE encourage your student to do their best at selling cookie dough to raise money for our school, but also stay safe and do not sell door to door.
-HOMEWORK---I'd like your feedback. Please e-mail or call me at school if you feel that the load was too heavy or too light. I want to make sure we have just the right amount to make our students successful at practicing their skills. Please keep in mind that each group of students is different and my current methods may need to be tweaked to make sure I'm meeting this class's needs. I appreciate your patience if some aspect of the routine has to be changed.
As always, feel free to contact me with questions or comments! Thanks for sharing your kiddos!
