Hello Parents!

Just wanted to let you know that students should be reading to you 20 minutes a night.   They should be able to tell you at least 3 things about what they read.   For example, the main character, the setting, the main event or the problem of the story.    The more they read, the better they will be in Math, Spelling, Writing, etc.   

Next week students will be bringing home a reading log that will be signed by you.   So be looking for that!

Hello new 4th grade students and parents!   I am so excited to meet each of you and get started on our 4th grade year.   It will be filled with lots of great learning and memories!  

Thursday, August 18th is Meet the Teacher and bring your supplies!   I will look forward to seeing each of you there!  Enjoy your last few days of summer, and come ready to learn!

See you soon!

Mrs. Hunter’s Class – Willow Creek Voc. test is tomorrow.  Students brought home these 8 words yesterday to begin studying.  (This is because of our new schedule)

Hello Everyone!!  

Here’s a couple of things to know for the week:

Reading Logs – Students were given a “weekly” reading log to complete this week.  They are to read 30 min. each night, and the log must be signed daily.   This reading log is due Friday, and the front and back of it must be completely filled out by the student, except for parent signatures.

Friday-April 15th- Willow Creek Voc. quiz (These vocabulary words were sent home yesterday,(Monday). Students were told to study for this quiz.  It is also written in their planner.  There are 8 words.  Please have them show you their list, and quiz them over these words.   They will also (hopefully), have the End of the book quiz over Willow Creek, that is, if we complete it by Friday.  This is a open book test.  They get to use their novels, their journals with their notes, etc.

SPRING PICTURES are coming home today with your child.  Please decide if you like all or some.  Return payment and pictures you do not wish to keep.
