We have been working hard!!!! I hope you are seeing your child's planner each night and discussing with them the learning which is taking place each day. Your child should be showing you their math everyday and checking for completion.
The daily work your student is doing is to be completed daily unless otherwise stated. Math must be turned in daily or your child receives a "zero" for the assignment. The spelling packet is due every Thursday and also graded. On Fridays the DLR, handwriting, vocabulary sort, and spelling assignments are due. (The spelling assignments are different than the spelling packets.)
We will start doing a writing assignment each week and will need to be completed and turned in.
The "Weekly Reading Log" is brought home on Monday and returned the following Monday. There is a grade given on the report card for "Independent Reading". This grade goes along with their "Weekly Reading Log" and their "Read Across Utah". If you have not seen or heard of these two items please ask your student. If there still questions please contact me.
We are learning lots about being responsible and accountable for the work and learning process. Thanks for all of your support and help you give your child.

Great First Days of School
We have been working hard and learning the routines of 4th grade with Mrs. Spencer. Everyone is dong their part and trying to work hard.
Each night you should see math, spelling, reading 30 minutes (10 minutes out loud to an adult), and playing "Ogre" (multiplication game). If you are not seeing these items please ask your child about them and have them explain their planner to you and ask to see the work. A signature in your child's planner and on their math homework should be asked for each night. Many of you may think this is a "pain" but I am trying to teach your child to have responsibility for their actions. Thanks for your help and support with this. (I may also write a note to you in their planner which I want you to see. Just a way of communication.)
Across the top bar of this blog you will notice "Weekly Assignments" board. Please click on it to see what your child will be learning each week. This will also help you to know what kinds of things to ask your child about.
In their planner today I placed a sticky label with my email address and the blog address on it. I hope this will help you to stay in contact with me if you have that need and the blog to let you know what is happening in class.
Thanks for your help and support to get the year off to a good start!
