All About Me • My Family- married for 16 years, 3 daughters, two cats, and one dog • My background • I grew up all over the world. • I am Italian. • I am fluent in Italian, French and English ;-) • I attended Worcester State College in MA. • Pursuing a Masters in Curriculum & Instruction and Computer Education. • My experience • This is my four year at Lake Harbor. • I have six years of teaching. • I have taught third, fourth, and fifth!

  5. My Goals • To give your child the academic skills s/he will need to be successful in fourth grade. • To provide a supportive and fun classroom environment. • To help your child make new friends and discover new interests. • Build confidence. • Help your child be organized!

  6. Class Subjects • The subjects we cover in fourth grade are: • Math- EDC, POD, and grade level expectations • Language Arts (Reading, Writing, and English) • Spelling (Handwriting) • Science (many science experiments) • Social studies (projects) • Art

  7. What it is like here in Room 1306 • Math-Come in the morning, unpack- EDC/POD- start lesson- whole class- individualized instruction. Many activities that engage students. Review together. • Spelling- 5 to 10 minutes daily- game on Thursdays (handwriting) • Reading- preview, predict, read, review, discuss, write, study. • English- use the book as whole group- then individualized instruction. • Science- use book, experiments, discovery, engagement, review, study guides, Brain Pop, United Streaming, assess • Social Studies- whole group using the book, many projects • Art- many different activities done in class usually having to do with the seasons • A.R.~ There is a designated time for AR after lunch about 15 minutes. Whenever a student finishes his/her work- they can read.

  8. Classroom Community • Our classroom is a community. In our community, we have rules to help us get along with each other. • Our Classroom Rules • 1. Follow directions the first time • 2. Speak with permission only • 3. Be "ON TASK" and prepared • 4. Always use proper and polite language • 5. Respect school and personal property • 6. Always keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself • 7. Stay seated unless permission is given

  9. FISH PHILOSOPHY 1. BE THERE2. CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE3. MAKE THEIR DAY4. PLAY WITH LEARNING

  10. Homework • I assign homework as needed depending on our lessons and what is necessary to attain mastery in that area. • Homework should not take more than 20 minutes per subject. • It is very important for your child to complete his/her homework daily. • Homework that is not complete or is missing will require student to spend recess in detention.

  11. STI? What is that? • St. Tammany Parish has given parents a way to monitor their child’s grades. This information will be mailed to you anytime. It will have the website address, student i.d., and password. • I update STI usually by Monday of every week!

  12. A Little Extra Tid Bit Information • School starts at 8:05 A.M. We begin immediately with our morning routine. Please make every effort to have your child at school on time as I don’t want your child to miss out on any important information. • If you are not in the classroom by the time the bell rings, please check in at the school office before coming to class to receive a tardy pass. • Very Important Paper Folder is the graded paper folder which is sent home every Monday along with the weekly overview- Mrs. Thurber’s 411. If for some reason the weekly overview could not be printed, it should always be available online. Please return the VIP folder signed by every Wednesday!

  13. Very important! • Respect • Responsibility • 100% Effort • Organization~ Use checklists. Organize homework assignments. Designate a study space. Set a designated study time. Keep organized notebooks. Conduct a weekly clean-up. Create a household schedule. Keep a master calendar. Prepare for the day ahead. Provide needed support.

  14. Special Moments Created • Now I know that your child has come home and complained about school and all the WORK- there’s no fun in Mrs. Thurber’s class! • I am a tough teacher- work, work, and more work! • See for yourself…

  15. Let’s Have a Great Year!
