Things seem to be going well. I have some beginning grades that I will be posting momentarily. We have taken our first reading test, and for the most part the scores are good! We have math tests coming up this week, and writing work. We are strongly encouraging writing this year, and it would always help your student to have something to write at home. They love to share the stories they write, and I enjoy reading them. Please read stories with them as well. It will be a time you'll enjoy with your child. I hope everyone is having a great holiday break, and we'll all return well and rested on Tuesday.

The first week of school is behind us now, and we are ready to get down to business with fourth grade. There have been many changes this year, but everyone is adapting well. In the upcoming week, I want to order the Time For Kids for fourth grade, so please send in the payment if you haven't done so yet, and we can get started with that material. Please feel free to contact me any time you have questions. I have posted ways to reach me, as well as the regular old phone book number for my house. I want to be in touch with you often and work as a team to help your child thrive in their last year of elementary school. HERE is a picture of our new bus line up! It's pretty impressive! It is done! We are ready to see you on Monday evening for Open House, and ready to begin classes with our students on Tuesday morning! Our dedicated staff continues to work to pull together our new school building, and we are anxious to show it off!!! There will be some new things at the school this year. The busses will leave the elementary all at once right around 3:00. If you need to change your child's instructions for after school, PLEASE let the office know before 2:15! After that, it becomes difficult to get the messages to various teachers and staff. 2:30-3:15 is definitely our rush hour! Also note that we are now a "limited access" school! This means that we will no longer allow anyone to just come into the school building without a specific reason to be there. We know that your children are there, and if you need to see me, or your child, you can, but the purpose of the change is all for the security of our children. Our highest priorities in working with your children are to teach them AND to keep them safe! There'll be other changes, but we'll get them as we get to them. I'm looking forward to meeting you at Open House!!! |
AuthorI am Mrs. Jackson. I have been teaching fourth grade for many years now, and I love teaching! I am excited to work with your children, and hopeful that we will be working as a team to promote a successful year in fourth grade. Me in 4th grade.
