iPads
We are still having an issue with iPads coming back to school charged. Please make sure that your student continues to charge their iPad when they bring it home for homework. This helps our students be successful in the classroom when they bring it to school charged every day! Thank you in advance for your continued support.
Check out what we are going to be learning next week!

4th Grade Homework
Homework Reminder
Instead, those students will receive a paper log this week and a reading practice page instead of Istation. Submitting these homework assignments on time will be how these students can earn back the privilege of bringing their ipads home on ipad days again.
Thank you so much for your attention and support with this as we continue to build responsibility in our 4th graders.

Homework Routines

We will also continue keeping a weekly reading log in alignment with our campus reading goals. Students are asked to read for 10 minutes a day Monday through Thursday and fill out their reading log. The log will be located in Canvas. Students will be given an opportunity on Friday morning to complete and submit their logs. Paper logs are always available in Mrs. Plunk's room for students who want them, and they have open access to that stack of copies whenever they need one.
Students who meet their weekly reading goals and submit their logs in time will receive 10 Eagle Bucks to use on rewards in class or at the Eagle Store.
