What new in class?

Dear Parents:
I want to welcome your child, to 4th grade I’m excited about the opportunity to get to know you, as well, and I’m looking forward to a happy and productive school year.
This year we will focus on the following curriculum areas:

• Math
• Science
• Health
• Social studies
• Arizona history
• Reading
• Writing
• And your child will be going to and elective class. Art, P.E. or Band

Please have your child bring the following supplies to school before 8/18/08:
• 2 boxes of tissue
• 2 glue sticks
• One index card box 3”x 5”
• 1 bottle hand sanitizer or wipes
• 1 package of index cards 3 x 5
• Dry erase markers
• Old rag or sock to wipe dry erase board
• 1 three subject note book

My homework policy is that it is up to your child in most cases how much homework they bring home. I do give the students amply time to finish work in class, but on occasions we will not finish and the work will go home as home work .

My grading policy is based on percentage.

Upcoming school events you should be aware of include:
• Parent orientation  Tuesday, August 18, 2008
• Labor Day no School Monday, September 1, 2008
• Early Release Day  Wednesday, September 3, 2008
• Progress Reports  Friday, September 12, 2008

Please mark these dates on your calendar. I hope you will make it a priority this year to attend as many school-sponsored events as possible.

We welcome visitors to our classroom, and we always appreciate parents volunteering to help out. Some volunteer opportunities that will be available this year are:
• Field trips

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me by e-mail or phone. I also welcome appointments to meet in person. You can contact me at 865-3501 or gabril @morenci.k12.az.us
Let’s work together to make this the best year ever!
