AR Goals
For the first trimester it is our goal for each child to recieve 6 AR points. Your child will be expected to read for 20 minutes or more each night. He/she will need to select and read an Accelerated Reader book, which is at his/her reading level. All students will receive this book from our school library. We will begin with 6 points during the first marking period, and we will create individual goals during the following marking periods. This will count toward 25% of the final reading grade.
Multiplication Facts
Your child is expected to know their multiplication facts during the 4th grade. They should be at 100% ( 100 problems correct in 5 minutes) by December of their 4th grade year. After Christmas we begin our division facts. Our goal is that each student earns 100% on their division fact tests by May of their 4th grade year.
Daily Planners
Each child in this class will receive a daily planner. This is a way to help your child stay organized, keep track of assignments, and to accept responsibility. We are asking that each night an adult check over the daily planner to look at the assignments for the day, and then sign off on the assignments for that day. This means that your child has completed all homework for the day and has read for at least 20 minutes. Feel free to use this planner as another way to communicate with us.
