Dear
Parents,
I’m writing in hopes of getting some feedback from you and
your student about how things are going in fourth grade. We have been having a lot
of problems in class in terms of being a good friend, a good listener, and
being respectful to each other. I’ve noticed an increase in negative behaviors
these last few weeks. It is clear that many students are upset and want our
classroom climate to improve as much as I do.
I’m asking that you and your student write a letter
explaining the strengths and areas that need improvement in our classroom. This
should not include names but more behaviors and qualities that are helping
and/or hurting our classroom. With this list, I will be working on an action
plan to improve our classroom community.
I would really like to end the year on a positive note.
Hopefully, with these exercises and our month-long focus on kindness we can
reach that goal.
Respectfully,
Mrs.
Cushman
