Mrs. Thompson's Awesome 4th Grade: Sept. 6, 2013

September 6, 2013

Dear Parents,

I am looking forward to an exciting year with your child. Our first week together has been fun. Our class already feels like a family. We are very fortunate to have a student intern from ISU this fall. Mrs. Zabel will be with us through Dec. 13^th. This is going to be a great year!

Parents are always welcome in our room. Come and visit whenever you can. If you would like to eat lunch with your son or daughter, we eat from 12:25-1:00.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact me as soon as possible. I would love the help!! I will try and make a parent volunteer schedule in the next week or so. Call 237-4742 or e-mail me at thompsde@sd25.us .

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

· If a student receives less than 70% on a classroom or homework assignment, he/she may correct the assignment and turn it in to be re-graded. The final grade will be an average of the two grades. It is the student’s responsibility to re-do the work and turn it in.

· Please send back the attached e-mail information sheet as soon as possible. If you would like correspondence via e-mail, I will send my weekly letters that way. I will first send a trial letter to make sure you can all receive my messages. For those of you who want paper correspondence, I will send the letters in your child’s Friday Homework Folder. You can also find the same information on my blog. A link to my blog can be found on Infinite Campus, through the Ellis website, or directly at http://mrsthompsons4thgrade.blogspot.com/

· I will start sending home AR Home Reading Logs starting next Tuesday when library classes begin. Students will need to return the logs each day. The logs will be part of their reading grade. They will be expected to read 15-30 min. each night.

THIS WEEK’S HOMEWORK:

· Math: “Drops In The Bucket” #26
