Dear Students, I hope you have been having a great summer swimming, biking, boating, fishing, or maybe even READING! I’m very excited about moving back to teach fourth grade. It is going to be a busy year, but it is exciting as well…and you won’t believe how quickly time flies when you are having a good time! Please take a few minutes with your parents to read this letter carefully. It contains important information you will need to know in order to help your first day in fourth grade to go smoothly. We are located in room 201 right next door to our “new” neighbor, Mrs. McCullouch, and across the hall from 3-4 multiage. Just as last year, the school doors will open at 8:30 and attendance will be taken at 8:50. Please remember you are considered tardy if you arrive in the classroom after 8:50. Therefore, arrive early enough to eat breakfast, unpack your bags, use the restroom, sharpen pencils, etc. Breakfast will cost $1.00, and student lunch prices are still $1.50. Listed below are the supplies I would like you to come prepared with on the first day. As the year progresses, you may need to replace some supplies as they are used up, such as erasers and pencils. Please remember to label all of your supplies with your first and last name before the first day of school. o Reusable water bottle o Art Smock o 24 No. 2 pencils (no mechanical pencils) o Set of colored pencils o Crayons—24 pack o 2 large glue sticks o Ruler (standard and metric), preferable wooden o Nylon or plastic zippered pencil pouch o 1 erasable red pen o 2 yellow highlighters o 2 single subject notebooks o 5 pocket folders o 1 large box of facial tissue o 1 roll of paper towel o 1 bottle instant hand sanitizer (no water needed) o Optional but encouraged: Flash cards for x and ÷ ( Dollar Store or Wal-Mart carries them) J Please no trapper keepers as there is not enough room in the student desks or lockers to accommodate them. Please note that it is essential that your child MASTERS the basic number facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The sooner your child knows these facts, the more successful and less stressed s/he will be. Practice at home is a must, so I encourage your child to start over the summer! Please don’t wait until September. This year we will also be taking a short, 5-minute snack break after our morning special. It is your responsibility to bring a snack to school on a daily basis if you choose to eat one. Snacks will not be provided for you. However, your snack must also be something healthy. Cheese sticks, crackers, carrot sticks, fruit, etc. are just a few examples of acceptable snacks. Cupcakes, cookies, Rice Krispy treats, Pop tarts, etc. are suitable for “special” occasions such as to celebrate your birthday, but are not considered a healthy snack! Also do not bring an extra drink for snack time. Your water bottle will be sufficient. If there are any questions or concerns, your parents may leave a message at school and the secretary will contact me, or email me at llamon@1000islandsschools.org. Enjoy the rest of the summer, and I look forward to seeing you on the first day of school, Wednesday, September 3. Thank you, Mrs. Lamon |
