Dear Parents,
I apologize for the absence of a post last night. Luckily, everyone was responsible and turned their homework in anyways, so kudos to the fourth graders for being on top of their game!
We are busy preparing for Open House here at school. Please join us tomorrow at 5:00 to meet with Miss Jezabel and me, and to learn all about your child's fourth grade experience. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Welcome to the 2nd Week!
Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to the 2nd week of school! We had an eventful day and began formal math, reading, and writing lessons.
In math we are beginning with multiplication and division, and are starting to build our reading and writing communities for language arts.
Homework: Math worksheet 1-1 (whichever side is not crossed out for you).
*Our first spelling test is this Friday! Please visit the classroom website to see the list, and start studying!
*Please remember that fourth graders are expected to engage in 20 minutes of reading per day.
**THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO COMPLETED YOUR DIVERSITY QUILT ARTWORK! :)
There are several students who have not completed it and have already lost 10% from their final project grade. Please ensure that you turn it in tomorrow if you have not done so. We want to ensure that your artwork is included for Open House!

Hello All!
I can't believe we're already done with our first week. It flew by!
Today was a half day during which the fourth graders began morning meetings, went to library and P.E. for the first time, organized their book bins, and wrote their first "Warm Fuzzies" book for the student of the week. Thanks for a magnificent start to the year!
Homework: Finish the art piece for the Diversity Quilt
Looking forward to the week ahead:
Until then, have a FANTASTIC weekend!
Warmly,
Miss H.

08/07/2014: Chocolate Thursday
Dear Parents,
I apologize in advance for the sticky faces returning to you this evening, but I promise it was for a good cause! The students did a fantastic job with whole class behavior this week, so they received incentives this afternoon of their group's choice (donuts, extra recess time, and ice cream were what each of the three different groups chose). Hats off to them for the start of a good year! Incentive parties will continue throughout the year, but they will become more challenging to earn as the year progresses.
Because of the special treats at the end of the day, we were a bit rushed on our way out the door. I will take that into account with tonight's homework. That being said, tonight's homework is the following:
HOMEWORK: Finish typing their "Quilt" writing pieces on Google Drive, which was saved to their school gmail accounts as a class this afternoon. The art component of the assignment is NOT due tomorrow; only the written portion is assigned for tonight.
I am also interested in hearing how the start of the year has been on the home end. Please plan on joining me in the classroom at Open House on August 14th, and feel free to contact me beforehand via email (christine.hodges@ciplc.org) or by visiting the classroom beforehand.
Sincerely,
Miss H.

August 6th, 2014: Half way through the first week!
Hello!
Fourth grade is rolling right along! Yesterday all three "dens" of students (groups of students who sit together at tables) earned a rewards party, so tonight I will pick up some treats and tomorrow the class will indulge in donuts, ice cream, or extra recess. Hats off to you for good behavior, Fourth Grade!
Today we engaged in a gallery walk during which students showcased their "The ______ Times" homework assignments and discussed what it means to do their best work.
The class also met Ms. Hatch, the guidance counselor, and began working on a "Diversity Quilt" which will displayed to parents at Open House.
Today was the first day for P.E., so everyone was excited about that!
Thanks to everyone for making this a wonderful week so far.
DAILY HOMEWORK: In your writer's notebook, please tell Miss Hodges and Miss Jezabel what you want them to know about you. *Please note that there is no length expectation/page limit on this assignment. Rather, it is preferred for students to write naturally and to let their ideas flow so that we as teachers can gage their writing abilities at the start of this year.

Second Day = COMPLETE!
Good afternoon, Students and Parents!
Today was an eventful second day in 4th grade. We finished building our community agreements, began our "Diversity Quilt" class project, and enjoyed our first day of art! We also discussed what it means to "Do Our Best." This includes trying our hardest, believing in ourselves, never quitting, and doing careful and creative work.

The School Year Has BEGUN!
Greetings, Parents and Students!
Today was a wonderful first day in fourth grade. We got to know each other, went over classroom expectations, and discussed the importance of believing in ourselves. Tomorrow we will continue to build our community spirit and procedural knowledge. Thank you for preparing all of your children with open minds, supplies, and the willingness to learn!
TONIGHT'S HOMEWORK: Complete the "The _________Times" Poster as a way for the rest of the class to get to know your child.
Remember, homework should take right around 40 minutes for your child to complete. I am always accessible to you by classroom, phone, and email. Enjoy your evening!
