Happy August 2010!

Parents and Students,

Hello and welcome to my information blog. Please check this every new month with new information about Mrs. Wilson's class.

Painted sky is piloting an exciting new instruction model this year. Your child will receive focused instruction from all members of the fourth grade team. Each teacher will teach a subject area and the students will rotate through each class. Your child will begin and end each day with me in homeroom. I will teach the Math, Mrs. Bertram will teach Reading, Mrs. Gaff is Science, Ms. Ronnie is Social Studies, and Mrs. Eldridge is Writing.

Open House will be August 24. A-L will be from 6-6:45 and M-Z is 6:45-7;30. I looking forward to see you then. You can sign up to volunteer at that time.

Math Information: By now your child should be coming home with math papers for homework. Please know that I grade the homework as a pass or fail. If your child receives a "1" it is 50% or more wrong and thus a failing paper. If it is a "2", it is 50% or more correct. Your child may correct any "1" papers.
Also, I will be sending home a math answer key to ALL fourth grade homework. This is meant for the parents and the parents ONLY. This is to help you so you may help your child with homework. Please note on my website, there is a link called Everyday Math Fun. There are lots of games and review coordinated with the chapter we are on in class. Your child can play this at home by clicking on the Everyday Math Fun.

Important dates to remember:

August 24.........Pictures and Open House
September 14.......Book Report due for Mrs. Wilson's homeroom class. (Ask your child about this)
