Study Habits Matter
Remember that assignments are due before 8:10 AM each morning, Monday through Friday. Even if a Math paper is finished, for example, it's a good idea to take it home and check it over to make sure it's all correct. Then, get it in the Math box before 8:10 and you're all set.
Usually, on Fridays we do a Scholastic News assignment that is due on Monday. We did not do one today, but next Friday we will.
Remember to read for at least fifteen minutes each evening.
And last but not least: Remember to sing in the shower so you are ready for the next Friday Sing Along!
Finally, have a good weekend!

Dear Fourth Grade Student and Parents/Guardian:
I
want to welcome you to the fourth grade and let you know that I am looking
forward to having you in my class this year.
You will have an enjoyable and productive year in our room!
You
will need to have a book for silent reading at 8:10 each day. You may bring a book from home or find one
in our classroom collection.
Since we believe that education is serious business, please do not bring
any toys to school because they interfere with learning. Here are other rules you will be expected to
follow:
1. Follow directions the first time they
are given.
2. Stay in your seat unless given
permission to leave
it.
3. Raise your hand and wait to be called
on before
speaking.
4. Turn in all assignments on time.
HOMEWORK:
Students are responsible for handing their homework in on time. Homework
is due the following day and needs to be placed in the correct assignment box
before the second bell when school starts. Homework generally consists of
unfinished daily assignments, and I ask the students to read for at least
fifteen minutes each evening. Occasionally, there will be homework projects
that require more than one day to complete, and for these assignments I will
give the students a due date.
WHEN
ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE: Assignments are usually due the morning after
they are assigned. If the assignment is not handed in, the student receives a 0
in the grade book for that assignment, so it is very important that all
assignments are completed and turned in on time. Nothing lowers a report card
grade faster than missing assignments. If a student is absent, he/ she will
have at least two days to make up the assignments after checking with me to see
which assignments to make up.
GRADING: No student will receive failing marks on their report card if their
assignments are turned in on time and they are trying to do the assignments to
the best of their ability. I will present more details on the new report card
as they become available to me.
You
will earn good grades as long as you listen well in class, follow directions
the first time, and complete and turn in assignments on time.
HANDING
ASSIGNMENTS BACK: Assignments and papers are returned to the
student’s “mail box.” Students are responsible for getting their “mail” and
taking it home to show their parents/ guardians. I encourage you to keep
assignments rather than throw them away, at least through the end of the
trimester. The projects, like the “Family History Report,” you will probably want
to keep forever.
I hope some of your questions and concerns
about this year have been answered in this letter. You can also check our Franklin Port Angeles
School District
Sincerely,
Mr. Burnett (565-1853)
