Welcome to 4th Grade!
Stay up to date with current events happening in our class!
Hi C3 Families,
I am so excited for this upcoming year! I can already tell we're going to have a blast! Thank you for coming to open house and already volunteering your time and resources to our classroom! Here's a look at what we will be doing this week: This first week we'll spend a lot of time getting to know each other and learning how to work best as a family. In Math we'll review multiplication other math skills from 3rd grade. In Literacy we will begin our first unit on building a reading life. Good readers don't just read, we also build our reading lives. Now that your child is a big fourth grader, we will spend some time learning how to read fluently and choose books that are their level. In Integrated Studies we will start our first unit called "Let's get down to Business." We will learn about how North Carolina buys and sells products and is connected to other states and countries around the world. This first unit is a lot of fun! Students will soon interview for a classroom job where they get paid weekly and have to balance a checkbook correctly to use their credits. HOMEWORK: -Students should be reading 2 and a half hours every week. This can be broken up into daily reading (that's only 20 minutes over 6 days!) or larger chunks. I cannot stress the power or reading enough! -Students should log the book title, amount of time read, and have a parent or guardian's signature under the reading log for each day read. I often reward students to having their agenda filled out and reading signed! ANNOUNCEMENTS: -9/4 - No School -9/5 - Reading Rocks Logs Due -9/8 - Panther's Spirit Day VOLUNTEER NEEDED: -I need a volunteer to stuff Cougar Folders every Monday (excluding the first 2 weeks of school) If you're free for 15-20 minutes on Mondays and would like to help, shoot me an email or remind! I appreciate the help! If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out! I am truly grateful and excited to work with your child this year! -Tomi
