Welcome to 4th Grade
DEAR PARENTS,
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH BOTH YOU AND YOUR
CHILD IN THE 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR. WE WILL BE NEEDING THE SUPPLIES LISTED BELOW.
PLEASE REMEMBER: OUR DESKS ARE NOT THAT LARGE. DESKS FILLED WITH OVERSIZED SUPPLIES ARE DIFFICULT TO ORGANIZE AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DEVOUR PAPERS…AND SMALL CHILDREN!
PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE BINDERS. THEY DO NOT FIT IN THE DESKS.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
TICKETS: Tickets are given to students for good behavior, bringing back papers, and other positive actions. These tickets are accumulated and used in our auctions.
AUCTIONS: ChiIdren bid on items using their tickets. The chiIdren with more tickets can make a higher bid. (While I usually purchase the items, I do welcome donations!)
TALK BOX: ChiIdren who feel they need to talk to me may leave a message in this box. I will speak to these chiIdren after school. If a child is upset for ANY reason, please encourage them to make use of the TALK BOX.
TARDY STUDENTS: Please have your child in school on time. When children are late, the entire class is disrupted.
