Welcome to 4th Grade! I hope the year has started smoothly for you. It seems to have begun easily here at school. The students are getting into the routine of switching classes and Mrs. Hutchinson and I are staying pretty close to schedule. If you see that your child is having any difficulties, please let us know. I'm excited about this year! I have a new teaching partner, Mrs. Hutchinson, and a wonderful group of students. The kids seem excited, too. The are all anxious to get to our new Science Lab. We will be going on Friday. I will try to let you know of any happenings on my webpage.The kids will have homework each week. They will have math homework Monday through Thursday. Math homework is due the next day. Mrs. Hutchinson will be sending home a packet on Monday and it is due on Friday. If you are interested in volunteering or becoming a member of PTO look for the Volunteer Handbook that is coming home. If you want to volunteer in the classroom, please let me know. Parents, thank you for your patience in signing all the forms that have been sent home. I know there are a lot and some seem to duplicate others.
