  1. Curriculum Night 4th Grade“Meet the Teacher” Welcome to 4th Grade Peebles Elementary School 2018–2019

  2. Meet The 4th Grade Teachers! 4A: Mrs. Bennis-W.I.N. What I need! 4B: Mrs. Bosack—Social Studies 4C: Mrs. Brown—Science

  3. Homework—Assignment Book • 10-15 min. per grade level= 40-60 minutes + free reading time. • Assignment books have been given to each fourth grader. We fill these out each day. Students are expected to have something in each box, even if it happens to be the word NONE, signaling that there is no homework given in that class for that evening. • Parents should review assignment book every day! Let me know if there’s a problem. • Homework is not usually assigned on Fridays unless a student needs to catch up. Sometimes, there will be a test scheduled on a Monday. • We will do our best to honor Wonderful Wednesdays! • Remember, if it’s graded—It goes home. This will keep the expandable organized and not super-full.

  4. ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS: • Expandable File with at least 12 pockets. These were labeled on the first day of school. • Due to the size of the desks, please have your child use flat pencil bags or Ziploc baggies for crayons, markers, etc. instead of bulky pencil boxes. • Please use weekends to have students clean out backpacks and expandables and restock with sharpened pencils and other necessary supplies. Markers, glue sticks, scissors, white out, erasers, pencils, colored pen for checking work, highlighters. • Please check through your child’s expandable with them OFTEN to clean out unnecessary papers.
