September 3, 2019
Dear Families,
I
offer you a warm "Welcome to Fourth Grade"! I am looking forward to working with you and
your child this year. I am also excited
about the journey that we will be embarking on this school year. We have many new adventures we will be
exploring together. I can't wait to
share all the exciting learning opportunities that have been planned.
As
was outlined during Curriculum Night, this year the fourth grade teachers will
be collaborating to better meet the needs of all of our students. Ms. Paige will be teaching writing and social
studies to all fourth grade students and I will be teaching Math and Science to
all.
I
will be sending home updates via email that will explain the focus of upcoming
areas of curriculum and events. You can
look forward to the first issue by middle September (Z-Press). Until then, the following is a list of
general information that you may find helpful.
o
Character
Education-As was discussed at Curriculum Night, Bingham Farms has
revamped our Character Education. More
information about this will come out shortly.
o
Office
Hours-Students who would like additional support, learning
opportunities, etc. have the chance to work during their morning break and
lunch/recess. There may times when students are invited to join us because they
have not yet completed a task during school time or completed the occasional
homework.
o
Supplies-If
your child does not have all of their supplies, please try to provide them either
sometime this week or by the beginning of next week. We will organize most supplies this week
either in their desk or their locker.
o
Lunch
is from12:10 until 12:50pm. Please send a nutritious snack each day
with your child. Students will be
allowed to eat a snack any time during the morning or afternoon. Lunch will be from 12:10-12:30. This year students will eat first, then play
outside.
o
Field
trips are a great extension to the classroom and we try to have the
students experience several in 4th grade. Therefore, our first field trip is on
September 10th. We are going
to Cranbrook Institute of Science. The students will be participating in the
Rouge River Water Festival. The
permission slip is attached to this letter.
o
Homework
will consist of:
§
Occasional assignments in: Math, Reading, Word
Work, Social Studies, Science, and Writer's Workshop (Language Arts)
§
*Math Homework answers can be found on SeeSaw
(once registered)
§
Reading 30 minutes at home consistently is
expected of all students
§
Additional homework options: Path Blazer, epic!
and Brain Pop
o
Communication-
The easiest way to communicate with me is email. I check my email daily. If there is an
emergency, please contact the office. If
more convenient, you may also send a note with your child in his/her
planner. I also send many communications
via email. Attached you will also find
links to the blogs where you will find planner information. The blog is updated regularly so that all are
aware of the homework and projects due. Please have your child check the blog
if they’re absent or unsure of an assignment.
o
Unified
Arts- Attached is the schedule for specials. As you know the schedule is on an A B C D
rotation. This calendar will help keep
you and your child abreast of the activities and to figure out proper
clothing.
I hope this was
helpful.
See you soon!!
Sincerely,
Mr. Zabawa
