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.

Friday November 1, 2019

As of Monday November 4, students will no longer be permitted to wear shorts until the clocks change again.  If a student has gym, sweat pants may be worn.

The reading test on Twins in Space has been moved to Tuesday.  I want to be sure we have adequately covered text structures, vocabulary, v-c-e spelling rule, and fragments/sentences.  Remember, the test is not on the reading story.  There is a short non-related story on the test that asks comprehension questions and reviews the skills/strategies that have been taught.  There is a short writing piece.  Students must restate the question unless specifically told not to.  Information for the answer is found back in the story.  Caps and punctuation rules apply.

Students will get a new handout for the 4th story next week.  Please do not through anything away from your child's folder.  I will do that in class.  Too many times kids are blaming parents, don't know if it's true, but I'd rather if you didn't.  Thanks!

Thank you to everyone for your support for Jayden. 

Have a great weekend,
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...
