As always, I will copy this over to my blog for future reference.
Have a great week.

Lego League info
Just a heads up. Students 9 and up can sign up to be part of the Lego
League competition team. Coming home tomorrow is a purple note that
gives the requirements. It is pretty stiff competition, so if you are
interested, get on it quickly.

What delightful children you have given me to work with. I love them already!
FYI:
Language
homework begins on Monday. Activity Page 1.2 is for reading and
practicing fluency. Then kids answer the question that follows. We will
discuss it the next day. Then I'll put their score in the progress
report information. Activity page 1.3 is only for reference for the
unit. Don't panic over it.
Math homework will begin on
Tuesday with chapter 1, lesson 1. Have your child do both sides and
return it the next day. We will correct it in class. Then I will score
it and put that in their progress report information. This daily back
and forth homework, scoring, and recording will be the norm for the
year.
Wednesday will be 1.2.
Thursday will be 1.3.
Friday is "Free day" as promised.
Whoever wanted only every two week letters, hopefully these short, to-the-point emails will serve just as well. :)

Dear families,
Bienvenidos! Welcome to fourth grade!
Your child will have a delightful year. It is all in the mindset, right? Besides that, it truly is a fun and brain stretching curriculum. I'm looking forward to teaching it.
Have a great last day before the challenge begins anew.
