End Of Year School Supplies

As our year wraps up, students will be bringing home supplies, notebooks, and other items. Check those backpacks every night.  They might be overflowing!

Here a few tips:

• Sort through and make a pile of what you can reuse for next year
• Throw away items that are broken, fully used, or not working
• Make sure your child has access to school supplies over the summer for at home learning projects and ideas.
• Set aside items that you would like to keep (papers, projects, 4th grade scrapbook (coming soon!)artwork etc) in a special place

Workbooks

We'll be sending home some workbooks from math, reading, or both.

Students have used these throughout the year.  Many lessons may have blank pages.  Don't panic!  We often use white boards, hands on materials, document cameras, LCD projectors etc. to replace the workbooks but practice the exact same problems.  These are a great resource for you as parents to review lessons with your child over the summer months.

Bountiful Beauty

A Big thank you to everyone who brought in so many supplies this week. Our Kleenex and storage bag supply is well stocked! Thanks!

Students have also begun to organize their school supplies placing less frequently used materials into storage cubby boxes in the back of the room to keep desks clean!

Reading and Math Groups

We will be sharing all the wonderful fourth graders among the fourth grade teachers for reading and math. This means students will almost certainly see a different teacher for reading or math that is not necessarily their "homeroom" teacher.

Students will also need to transport supplies between classes as follows:

Pencil pouch with:

• pencils 2-5
• pencil sharpener
• pink eraser
• red pen
• highlighter

Student Resource notebook (with tabs for subjects)

Planner & Blue homework folder
