Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! I will be teaching your child ELA (reading, grammar, spelling, writing). I will try to follow the homework helpline assignments as best I can. As always, there may be some unforeseeable events. Please keep in mind we need to have an open line of communication for you the student/parent to have a great year.

Week of September 9, 2019

Welcome Back!  We are entering the 3rd week of school already!

Tomorrow will be picture day.  Forms were sent home in Friday's folder.  Every child will get their picture taken for the composite picture.  If you don't want to buy the package, no worries.  Students must be in dress code clothing.

Friday September 20th will be a paid dress down day.  More information will follow.

Chorus rehearsals will start September 18th.  If your child wants to join, please sign the permission slip.  Practices will be held during recess twice during an 8 day cycle.  There will be a holiday and spring concert held outside of school hours.

Homework
ELA:  review the figurative language packet.  It is the packet that starts with "What is an Alliteration?"  Today we finished up Onomatopoeia.  Review the work we have done so far.  On Wednesday your child will be coming home with a poster assignment.  They will have a week to finish it.  If they'd like to return it sooner, they may.  There will also be an assessment on the meanings of all of figurative language and examples Friday September 13.  All sections I teach have 10 sentences to write using an onomatopoeia in it.  They are to underline the onomatopoeia.  Each sentence needs to be at least 5-7 words long, and the onomatopoeia cannot be used more than once.  Everyone had time to start in class and ask questions if unsure.

Handwriting for tonight is worksheet p. 11.  Mrs. Eger teaches handwriting, so check her blog.

Also, homework for other teachers can be found on their blogs.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Herring

Miss Brobst's class has a grammar worksheet for homework.  It is reinforcing imperative and exclamatory sentences to prepare for Wednesday's test. Mrs. Herring's class has a scavenger hunt for Lewis, Clark & Me.  Answers can be found in the story.  The backside has vocabulary to be used as a review for Thursday's test. AR goals were stapled in your child's assignment book.  October goals are 5 points or higher.  Goals need to be met by October 30th. October 27 is the Halloween party.  Please send $5.00 in for party supplies. Have a great week! Mrs. Herring

Back to School Week!!! August 29, 2016

WELCOME BACK!! Where has the time gone from the end of 3rd grade to the start of 4th grade? Today was a great day!  We will be building confidence, communication skills and relationships with the fellow classmates. This week we will be "getting to know" each other through multiple activities, reviewing policies and procedures and expectations.  I will also be administering DIBELS and DAZE tests to see how the students comprehend and use vocabulary skills. Parents, please return the paperwork that was sent home at Meet the Teacher or with your child today if you missed Meet the Teacher.  I would like papers back by September 7th.  Book orders will be going home on Friday with your child in their Friday folder. They are due back by September 9th.  The more books the students order, the more classroom books we can earn for free.  There is online ordering available as well.   I am looking forward to a great year! Have a great week, Mrs. Herring...
