4th Grade Math & Science
Martellaro & Grobe
September 9, 2013
We had another great week last week and we have a lot coming up this month. This week my newsletter contains a lot of questions that I have been getting about 4th grade procedures. So, I hope that this helps. My newsletter won't usually be this long:)
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me, I will respond as soon as possible.
Thanks for all you do for our kids!

Homework FAQ
-Assignments will be paper and pencil. If you want to do additional practice with your student you may still use istation or Think Through Math at home, but it will not be apart of the homework routine this year.
-If a student has questions or is struggling with certain assignments they can bring their homework to lunch throughout the week and ask a teacher who is on duty. There will always be a mix of Reading and Math teachers on duty:)
-If a student does not complete their homework they will have study hall on Friday during lunch time. As soon as they finish their assignment they can go back to lunch with their friends
Agendas
*Please make sure you are looking at your student's agenda each night as we require a parent signature nightly. Thanks!
MAP Testing
Our testing days this week are Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday will be a day where we finish from the day before.
Next week our testing day is Friday.
Please make sure that our students get a good night's sleep the night before and a good breakfast the morning of.
Field Trip
I have received most of the permission slips!
If you have not yet returned the permission slip please do so ASAP. If you need a new one I will send it home, just let me know or have your students let me know.
*We ask that the students wear a McGowen shirt if they have one.
*Every student will need a sack lunch that day!
*We will be leaving at 9:30 and coming back to campus at 2:00.
