Hi parents! I spoke with your students today about the importance of being present as we work toward our end of year goals. I also discussed that they will be fourth graders soon and need to take responsibility for the quality and completion of their work. I’ve built unfinished work time into our reading block rotations, and I allow students to come into my classroom at recess most days (except Thursdays because of meetings). Please reinforce this step toward personal responsibility at home as well, and the importance of being present while we prepare for the end of the year.
I tell them often that we only have 180 days together and they go fast. I enjoy spending each day with them, and I want them to become all that they are capable of. As always, if you have any questions, I’m around and will answer them as soon possible. Thanks for helping me prepare them to be the best fourth graders they can be! I appreciate your support.
