Basic 4th Grade Classroom Essentials

Supplies

We are always in need of supplies to keep our classroom running. Here is a list of our basic classroom supplies that you need to bring with you to school. I have also created an Amazon list of (most) of our classroom supplies. The quanities are not necessarily correct, so double check against the school's published supply list. Other items we can frequently use more of inlcude:

  • Pencils
  • Printer Paper (plain white or with a decorative border for publishing our writing)
  • Pencil Top Erasers
  • Kleenex

A convenient way to purchase items for our classrom is on Amazon. Here is a wish list of items we can always use.

Homework Policy

Homework will be given on most nights and will be graded as 10% of your grade. See the late work policy below if you forget your work.

Behavior Plan

Students are always expected to respectful. We will be using a coupon system to reward excellent behavior and will have drawings on Fridays for prizes.

When You're Absent

If you have to be out for any reason, please make sure to contact the front office. Upon your return, you will need to bring a parent or doctor note explaining your absence. If you miss work while you are gone generally you will have one day for each day of absence (either excused or unexcused) allowed for the make-up work. 

Late Work

For classwork, homework and projects that are returned late you will loose:

  • 10 points for the first day late
  • 20 points for the second day late
  • 30 points for the third day late

Word Study

 Word study is a way for our students to be exposed to spelling patterns, root words, prefixes and suffixes. To help your child study at home, use this link with information from the district.
