Math Video Resource

There is a new resource that GoMath just released. I made sure all students had access to this. If you can find it please let me know. 

GoMath Video Resources!

Dear Student,

There is something new in math.  You can now access a video clip from home that goes with each of the lessons in our GO MATH book!  These videos are designed to reinforce the lesson we did in class and support you with your homework.  The videos are fun and engaging.

To access the videos:

1.     Log in to Think Central using your username and password

2.    Select the “Math on the Spot Videos” icon

3.    Choose your grade, chapter, and lesson

Watch and enjoy!

Lot's of Important Dates!

There is a lot going on in 4th grade! I wanted to send a reminder about some important dates to keep in mind. :)

10/9 - Kids are dismissed 15 minutes early
10/13 - Fire Prevention Poster Due
10/14 - Drama Club forms and PTA fundraiser due
10/16 - Brookside Museum Field Trip  ***Send in a bagged lunch***

Go Home Early Drill

Friday, Oct. 9, is the annual “Go Home Early” evacuation drill. All students, K-12, will be dismissed 15 minutes earlier than the normal dismissal time and sent home with the following exceptions:
• Students who have athletic contests or practices will be dismissed to designated areas with their coaches and held there until the 15 minute emergency dismissal period ends. Coaches will inform athletes of the designated location.
• Y-Care students will be dismissed to their Y-Care provider.
The New York State Education Department requires all school districts to hold an annual "Go Home Early" drill to ensure that students and staff are prepared in case an emergency ever requires school grounds to be cleared and students to be transported home or to another location.

• If you have any questions or concerns please contact the main office. :) 

Thank You!

Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us for Open House! It was wonderful speaking with all of you and getting on the same page. Hopefully, you found it informative and relaxing. I'll be sending home reminders about conferences and setting up conferences with those who didn't get a chance to sign up. Thanks again!

B.Y.O.D.

Starting tomorrow, students who have a signed and returned Bring Your Own Device permission form are welcome to use their electronics for instruction! We are very excited to start and I know using these interactive tools will help learning throughout the day. If at any point you feel like you would like your child to bring in his/her device, please contact me. I'll be happy to send home the district policy and permission form again.

2015-2016 Walk Thru!

Well, another Teacher Walk Thru on the books! It was lovely to see so many excited faces; some new, some familiar. A few of our friends took advantage of my selfie stand while exploring the classroom. Check it out!
