Welcome Back!
Welcome back to what will hopefully be another great year at Patton. This year will be filled with many exciting activities and projects centered around our geosphere, energy transfers, waves, the regions of the US, and our government and economy. Fourth graders will learn more about multiplication and division, and become reading detectives as we continue the journey of becoming lifelong readers. The next ten months will surely be an adventure. Please feel free to call me or email me if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting everyone at Curriculum Night on Wednesday, August 28.
Just a Few Notes...
As you have heard from the front office, there is a designated time to drop off school supplies and see the classroom on Wednesday, August 21 from 2:40-3:20 PM. For anyone not able to make it, bring your supplies with you on the first day. Pre-ordered kits have been delivered to the classroom and are waiting for those of you who ordered them. In addition to purchased school supplies, your child will need to bring back their HEADPHONES and RECORDER from 3rd grade. Both will be used again this year.
Students are allowed to bring water bottles into the classroom. I ask that they fill their bottles at home in the morning before they come to school. They will have the opportunity to refill them as needed throughout the day. WATER ONLY will be allowed in the classroom. Please do not send flavored water or sports drinks in the water bottles.
Students are encouraged to bring a healthy snack to school to have during morning snack to tide us over until lunchtime. The lunch hour begins at 12:10, with fourth graders eating third shift at 12:50. Please be reminded that school policy indicates only fresh fruits and vegetables in their own skin will be allowed in the classroom at snack time.
If you need to send money to school for hot lunch, PTA, or anything else, please send money in an envelope with your child's name, room number (4-3), and where the money should go.
In the newsletter I will list the names of those students who will be celebrating birthdays in the upcoming weeks. Those who have birthdays in the summer can celebrate their half birthdays during the school year. Please be reminded that birthday treats are not allowed at school. We will be sending out some suggestions of non-food ways to celebrate your child's birthday if you choose.
Parent Homework: Parent-Teacher communication is key to your child's success. I am asking that each parent take a few minutes to complete the "About My Child" form coming home in backpack mail on the first day. I am requesting that forms be returned to me by August 30. Your input is valuable to me as I get to know your child these first few weeks. Thank you.
Last but not least, students will have the opportunity to purchase books from the Scholastic book order forms. I will send home two order forms each month from which you may select books. If you choose to buy books, please include a check made out to Scholastic. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY CASH TO SCHOOL for book orders. There is also a link on my webpage under "For Parents" if you prefer to order online with a credit card.
