The Big Day!

The Big Day!
I'm sure your fourth graders are exhausted!  We had a great day unpacking all our school supplies, learning a little about one another, and reading two books!  Students even had music and are very ready to get their recorders! We have a great group of students in our class - everyone was respectful, helpful, participatory, and genuinely excited to get the year started!

I hope they weren't too overwhelmed by tonight's homework - reading 20 minutes, and completing "The Big Day" assignment.

I know this won't be the last time I give the parents homework, for which I apologize - but please complete both sides of the blue form that is in your child's homework folder.  For those of you who have not completed or returned the first day packet (large manila folder), please do so and send it in with your child tomorrow.

Students will have PE tomorrow (Tuesdays), Wednesdays, and Fridays, please make sure they are wearing appropriate athletic shoes.

Lastly, make sure you subscribe to this blog by entering in your email address at the bottom of the webpage to receive all updates.

Thank you, I look forward to a great year with your kids!!!

2015 - 2016 School Year, 1st Class Update for Ms. Akbar's 4th Grade Class!
Welcome to the new school year!  It was a pleasure meeting everyone who came to the Open House on Thursday.  Thank you for bringing in supplies and your blue transportation forms.
If you didn't have a chance to make it on Thursday, BLUE TRANSPORTATION FORMS MUST BE TURNED IN ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!  Please make sure your child brings it in with them when they walk in at 7:30 am!  For those of you who were concerned about bus number changes, all students grades kindergarten through fifth grade will receive a sticker as they exit the bus with their bus number, I will record it and make sure they know what bus they are going to get on in the afternoon!
Please make sure all necessary forms from the "First Day Packet" are returned with your child on Monday!  
That's actually all I have for right now, I hope everyone is excited for a new school year!!!
