What to expect in 4th Grade

Dear Parents,

We've been working hard to get ready for this year's Open House. We hope that those who were able to attend enjoy our movie presentation. If you were unable to come, I would be happy to arrange a time that you could stop by to meet and see the video. I also will have copies available later in the year.

At Open House, I passed out a pamphlet entitled "What to Expect in 4th Grade." This includes an outline of some of the content we will study, the class' vision statement and rules/expectations, a description of consequences, homework policy, and ways to contact me. A .pdf copy of the pamphlet is available to download here. I hope that you find it useful as we embark on the year ahead.

Thanks for your continued support.

-Mr. Gould

Open House is coming soon!

Dear Parents,

It has been wonderful to get to meet your kids. We have a lively (!) bunch of students who are getting ready to do great things. Our work for the beginning of the year has focussed on building a community of learners. Ask your son or daughter about our class vision statement and rules that we generated together (they will be getting posted to the website soon).

It was nice to meet those of you who were able to join us for this morning's visit. I hope you enjoyed seeing how our days together begins. I would like to invite all parents to join us next Thursday for Open House. The students are working on a special project that I'm sure you won't want to miss!

See you next week!

-Mr. Gould
