I hope that everyone is doing well and staying out of the rain. This weather is really putting a damper on our track and field day this week. As of right now, our meet will be held this Thursday, May 5th. If it rains, I will keep you posted with the new date.
Ms. Duke and I are also trying out a new version of our Thursday Check-Ins. In the front of your child's binder is a behavior/agenda sheet. On this sheet, we will record your child's homework for the week. On Friday, Ms. Duke and I will check off on the sheet whether your child completed that homework or not, or if they were absent. We will also both circle one of the faces to make you aware of their behavior for the week. There is also a section for us to leave comments and for you to comment back to us. Please sign this paper, place it back in child's binder for us to check on Monday. We are hoping this will help to better keep you in the loop of what is going on in your child's life. The following document looks like this:
Here is what is going on in fourth grade this week:
