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.

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a great season home with their loved ones.  Now, back to the grind!  haha

Students will have a spelling test next Friday January 10.  The list was sent home yesterday:  Feathers, Not Just for Flying U2W1.  This list is on plural words by adding -s or -es.  Please study with your child.

In grammar, we will be studying compound sentences.  We will be studying conjunctions too.  Test will be next Thursday.

In reading, we will be reading how feathers are an adaptation to birds.  Test will be Tuesday January 21 & January 22.

Please remember to remind your students to keep their cell phones on silent, turned off, or at home.  Students should not have their cell phone's volume turned up, nor checking them throughout the day.  If you need to reach your child, please call the office, or email me.

Also, we have been going outside for recess.  Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately.

Ice cream is available on Tuesdays for $1.00.  If your child has a lunch balance, they can not get an ice cream unless they have cash for it.  Credit will not be given towards ice cream.  Your child needs to have the money in hand; they can't go back to the classroom for it.

Please reinforce the importance of working effectively in class.  Students are more worried about what is going on outside or in the hallway, than what the teachers are teaching.  Assignments and tests are taking much longer than necessary due to lack of focus.  Practice basic math facts, definitions, spelling words, etc anywhere possible:  car, dinner, bedtime, during commercials, etc.

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...
