We have almost made it through our second week of 4th grade!  We are working on expectations for classroom behaviors and learning routines.  The kids are doing a great job and adjusting well.

I have not started sending homework with students yet, so don’t panic.  The most important homework for Reading is to READ, READ, READ!  Read to your child, read with your child, have them read to their pets, their siblings, in the car, while you are cooking dinner, etc…

Have them read their library books, magazines, the newspaper, recipes, etc…

There is no homework I can send home that could take the place of just sitting down to read for 20 minutes each night.

Developing a love for reading is priceless.

Thank you for all your support and hard work at home.

Each week I will try to suggest a website to support our classwork.  This week we have visited

www.gigglepoetry.com.  Check it out!
