Best First Week Ever!

Happy Friday, Families!  This week has ZOOMED by.  I'm having a blast getting to know all of our students in our room this year.  We have a few exciting announcements: we have a class name, mission, rules, and reading & writing workshop visions!  Take a look below.

Class Name: The Marshmallows
Why?: Because we're a kind, sweet, and gentle class, just like a marshmallow.

Class Mission
We will come to school every day ready to learn and accomplish our goals together by helping one another.  We show respect to our peers, teachers, and school community.  We practice integrity each and every day.  We are the AWESOME Marshmallow fourth grade class who likes to be kind and have FUN every day!

Classroom Rules

1. We take care of ourselves.
2. We take care of each other.
3. We take care of our classroom and school.

Readers Workshop Vision

In Readers Workshop our goal as readers is to push ourselves to read more challenging books, different genres, communicate our thinking by writing in our notebooks, and grow as readers.  We will reach our goal by staying focused in our books, choosing successful reading spots, practicing good reading habits, and keeping a positive attitude when reading gets challenging.

Writers Workshop Vision

In Writers Workshop our goal is to grow as writers.  We will do this by practicing good writing habits, focus on our writing, always stay on task, and ignore distractions.  We will be flexible writers who are open to new challenges and persevere when writing gets tough.  Lastly, we will respect each other by working quietly or at a voice level one.
