  4. Welcome to 4th Grade!With so much curriculum to cover, we have a busy schedule!

  5. Homework Homework will be given each Monday-Thursday. All assignments will be given for the purpose to reinforce what we are learning in class. Homework should NOT take more than 30 minutes plus additional time for independent reading. If your child is spending more than this amount of time on his/her homework, please contact me via email or phone call. A note from you explaining why homework is incomplete will prevent your child from being penalized. Please check your child’s assignment notebook nightly. This is another great tool for communicating with me. I would like you to please sign the assignment notebook each day during the week.

  6. Classroom Management I am a big believer in POSITIVE reinforcement! I am always looking for students doing the right thing! However, if a student continues to make the wrong choices after a warning, they will have to “pull a slip.” If the behavior continues, the student will need to go to detention and complete a reflection form.

  7. Date___________________ Today I had to “pull a slip” in my classroom. This means that I was reminded to follow our classroom rules and then chose to not follow directions. I met with Mrs. Chervenyand we discussed how to avoid this from happening again. I plan to work harder on______________________________________ I will do this by_____________________________________________ Student Signature___________________________________________ Parent Signature____________________________________________
