Reading is HUGE in 4th Grade • Fourth graders are expected to read every night for 15-20 minutes in their DEAR book. • You must have parents sign your planner each night and return it to school each morning. • I check planners at 8:30. If yours is missing or not signed, you owe me reading time.

Homework • If you pay attention use your time wisely, you should finish homework in about a half hour. • All homework is due the next morning.
