Dear 4a Families, 
IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • I enjoyed meeting with many of you yesterday to talk about your children.  Please contact me I did not see you so we can make a new date. 
  • New Homework Policy....Read every night for 20 minutes!
  • The next Library Day is on Tuesday December 1st.
  • For Field Day on Friday the 20th the students will need to wear a shirt of a certain color-red, yellow, blue or green (they will soon know what color they should wear), wear a hat and be sure to bring a thermos. 
  • Please ask your child what supplies they may or may not need as we come to the end of the first trimester.  It is a good time to evaluate and restock any necessary items (pencils, erasers, etc.)
  • After asking the kids about the websites I found, they directed me to some new and fun websites for learning and practicing math.  Please see below.
  • Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns by email at amanderson@cms.edu.do.

Please note the new standard in Webgrader - Homework.  This reflects the students' attention to the completion of their homework.  It does not necessarily mean that everything has to be correct, but should reflect each student's personal best.  If your child is unable to do the homework for any reason that you consider valid, please either write me a short note or contact me by e-mail - sschimmel@cms.edu.do.

Enjoy 4th Grade!wink
