WELCOME BACK! 2011-2012 FANTASTIC FOURTH GRADE!

...and Fabulous Fifth, and Spectacular Sixth Grade! This year I am pleased to be teaching fourth grade general studies and fifth and sixth grade science. We are going to have a fantastic, fabulous, spectacular school year!

My classroom blog will contain homework assignments for the school week - FOR ALL CLASSES. The fifth and sixth grade science assignment will be labeled and listed, as will the fourth grade general studies homework assignments. The students will also be responsible for recording their homework assignments in their planners. I will check to make sure that they do so.

We had an amazing first day of school! My goodness, everyone has gotten taller (except for me...I just buy very tall shoes...) I have given a "sort of" homework assignment for my Fantastic Fourth Graders. The are to show their copy of the classroom code to their parents, have their parents sign the cover of it, and return it to school tomorrow.

Also - I have told the students that they may bring WATER bottles to school (flavored water, like Crystal Light, is fine, just no juice, milk, or soda in the classroom). Students may take drinks from their water bottles, but aren't allowed to leave my classroom for a drink. They may use the drinking fountain before/after lunch and recess. This way we can use every precious minute for learning!

I am so excited to be working with such a wonderful group of students! Welcome to our school year!
