January 27, 2010

Ms. Burnett here! It has been wonderful getting to know the students over the past week. I am very proud to be a part of such a great team! I have had the pleasure of meeting a couple of student’s parents and look forward to meeting more of you during my time here in Mrs. J’s classroom.




In addition to familiarizing myself with the ins and outs of classroom life and getting to know the students, I have been busy planning a unit on fractions that we will begin next week. I look forward to working with the students as we explore fractions through the use of hands-on manipulatives, Promethean Board Activlessons, puzzles, and more!



Next week the students will also be starting an exciting new science unit with Mrs. Adkins! They will explore how plants and animals in an ecosystem interact with one another and the nonliving environment.



My time here is off to a great start and it is truly a pleasure to be part of this amazing team!

Classroom need:

With all the "Flu bugs" going around, I would like to wipe the student's desk, keyboards, mice, etc. down at least once a day so..... I need desinfectant wipes. Any brand will do. Hopefully these bugs will "get out of town" soon. Thanks so much! Mrs. J

I need your help...

I need your help……..






Dear Parents,



Would you join me in helping our children develop a little more responsibility? Multiple Students have been coming back to the classroom to retrieve homework materials. I am giving students plenty of time at the end of the day to look at their agenda and organize their homework materials. Because our classroom also serves as my office and because as fourth graders we want to increase our student’s level of responsibility, I am asking that you not return to school after 3:00. As always if your child is ill, if you request, I will leave your child’s homework materials in the front office. If you could please remind your child in the morning to use their time wisely and double check their agenda at the end of the day, this would be very helpful.



We have had so many positive experiences as a class this year and I believe this will be another that will help us grow as a team. Thank you so much for your support.



Thanks,

Mrs. Jones
