4th grade Monday Letter
Week #3: September 24th – September 28st
1. A Note About Homework: Please continue to send back the signed RMT (Reading, Math, Typing log) and students will turn it in each morning. We expect students to complete their RMT, fill it out and get it signed, every day of the week (including weekends). As discussed with students, the RMT can be signed by any adult who’s “in charge” – it can be done by a parent, family member, babysitter, after school teacher, etc. Students should already be in the habit of reading for 30 minutes and practicing math for 10 minutes and logging this information. We are also rolling out math and/or word work homework along with the RMT.
We have not yet started the typing homework portion of the RMT. We will send out that information after we chat with Mr. Kirdahy and introduce the program to the students.
*Also please note that the 10 minutes of math practice required for students RMT is in addition to any other math homework given that night.
2. Friday Folders: We want to remind families that each week, students’ Friday Folder will contain parent notices in one pocket and completed student work in the other. It is important to read and take everything on the “Parent Information” side and complete all necessary forms. You may choose what to do with material in the “Student Work” side- keep it, recycle it, … Friday Folders must come back empty. Please send your students back with their Friday folders if they have not already turned them in.
**Please sign and return this folder, on the provided sheet, with your student by the Monday following the day the folder is sent home.
3. Fourth Grade Fees: The fourth grade fees for the field trip budget are forthcoming. You will have the opportunity to pay in a lump sum. There are need-based scholarships available.
4. Recess Reminder: Lastly, as the weather gets cooler, be sure to send your students to school with jackets and longer pants for outdoor recess. Students can take off layers if they get hot, but just in case, they should be wearing warm enough clothing.
