  1. Welcome to Fourth Grade!Miss Guibersonkguiberson@stlukeshoreline.org206.542.1133 x123

  2. Educational Philosophy/Background • BA and MiT from Seattle University • Student teaching at Saint Luke • Kids learn best when… • they feel safe and valued • they are actively engaged in the learning • It’s not all fun and games-but there will be plenty of that too!

  3. Expectations • Students should put forth their best effort at all times • Work should be neat, legible, and on time • It’s time to break out the cursive!

  4. Organization • We’ll be working on these skills! • Keep folder and desk neat-it just makes things easier! • Use planner daily! Parents, please initial nightly.

  5. Homework • Should take roughly 30 minutes per night, (sometimes more, sometimes less) • You know your child best. If there’s something they’re really struggling with, (more than just not wanting to do it) please write me a note and let me know! • No homework over holiday breaks! (For my benefit, too!) • No weekend homework, provided all work for the week has been turned in • Missing assignments will be highlighted in your child’s planner

  6. Vacations • Great! Take your kids to see the world! We will make up a folder of work that they missed and they will have ample time to get it done when they get back!

  7. Communication • Before/after school appointments are available • Web page updated weekly • Newsletter sent home bi-weekly • Progress reports/Report cards • Conferences in October • Planners

  8. Curriculum Overview • Curriculum maps for the year are attached • Please feel free to ask me any questions! • These are a guide for the topics/pacing for the year. Each class is unique in it’s needs/capabilities.

  9. How to help at home… • Math Facts! It helps the kids so much if they know their math facts- all operations! Give them a set of flashcards and a timer and turn it into a game! • Study Time! Setting aside a certain amount of time each day for school work, even if they are done with homework helps them build study skills. • Read with your child! They love hearing stories from you! Ask them questions about what they’re reading. • Play time helps them too!
