Just a few additional notes to my first post......
1. Our weekly schedule is now available for you to download on the "Weekly Schedule" tab under "About Room 1." Your students have a similar schedule taped into their agendas that note their language and music preferences. Please take a look at the block schedule and bring any questions you may have to PIN night on September 13.
3. Homework is a very important part of the 4th grade curriculum. We are teaching students appropriate organizational skills and self-responsibility. All students have an agenda and a Homework Folder. These two items are supposed to go home with your students every afternoon and brought back every morning. Please be sure to check in with your child to see that he or she completed the nightly homework and has returned these items to his or her backpack. Together we can create positive homework habits. (Please refer to the homework contract that will arrive home early next week.)
4. We will be using a new math program, Pearson's EnVisions 2.0, for the 2015-2016 school year. As Medfield continues to roll out the Common Core Standards we are confident that this resource will best support our teaching practices for this year. The APP "Bounce Pages" will be used as an important home resource. This app will allow students to scan their homework page and it will direct them to an instructional video to help them remember and practice the content from the school day. Please be on the lookout for additional information regarding web-based home resources to support students homework understanding!
Thank you all for everything you do! I am looking forward to meeting everyone! Please refer to my previous blog posts for additional information!
Have a great long weekend!
Sincerely,
Marissa Foley
