Monday (10-1) we're having a kickoff assembly for the MEAP!! We will rally up to show we are ready for the MEAP. The assembly will also be a PBS assembly so we're asking the whole school to wear sports apparel. Ask your child which local mascot is joining us at Graebner to help us get ready! I'll give you a hint.... "Deetroit Basskkeeetballll"
Your child will start to receive a book project every month. Yes, these will be graded! Students are encouraged to use their Good Fit book for these projects. It helps motivate each child to read knowing he/she has to use the book for a project. The first project is due FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26TH!!! In case you misplaced the papers, I have attached them below for you to print!
Please know that when in the Parent Portal, if your child has a grade that is a "0" for an assignment, it means it is a missing assignment. If work is turned in late, students lose 10%. Also know that if your child receives below a 70% on any assignment (not including tests and quizzes), he/she can choose to redo the assignment for a maximum grade of 70%. While the 4th grade team only allows each student to redo one assignment per week, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND your child take advantage of this opportunity. It can definitely impact his/her grade!
Help! Our class is in need of chapter books and games (for indoor recess). We have a small classroom library and are looking to expand it! If you have any old books or games (whether it be board games, card games, etc.), please send them in to our room before you give them away! We would love to have them as we do not have too many...
Our TEAM is off to a great start!!! It's only the start of the first quarter, but I have to say I'm very pleased with our team! Everyone has been adjusting to the new school year well. I'm happy to say how many compliments I've received from Specials Teachers saying what a nice class we have :) Please remind your child that this great behavior is expected throughout the year :)
We have been hitting the MEAP Jumpstarts hard. Jumpstarts are ELA (English and Language Arts) and Math booklets that relate and mirror the "real" MEAP booklets. Understand that these booklets cannot go home! Ask your child about the Anchor Chart we created. This chart contains a list of skills we use to help us with the MEAP test! Please make sure you're always practicing those multiplication facts and reading your Good Fit books :) Welcome to my blog!! Click the link to download my introduction letter! While this letter did come home on the first day of school, I decided to post it here in case it was overlooked.
