Note that the 4th grade website has a new name www.fpde4.weebly.com. We are hoping this is easier for the kids to type when needed. The weekly update will also be posted on the website.
Math
Unit 2 will begin on Wednesday 9/14 and will cover adding and subtracting whole numbers.
Homework
Language Arts
Read 20 minutes each night. Students may choose to do Achieve 3000 in place of their reading. They are required to do 2 Achieve quizzes per week. These can be done in class as well.
Math
Students will have daily math assignment, Monday through Thursday. Most days will be a worksheet found in their Communication Folder. Occasionally it will be something to complete online.
Communication Folder
Your child has a folder that they take with them everywhere. This will house their homework and other important information. On Friday, important papers from school will be sent home in this folder. Please check your child’s folder over the weekend and return on Monday.
Treasure Cards
Your child brought home 5 Treasure Cards to sell for the PTA. Money raised will be used to improve our field conditions. Each card costs $20 and can save you tons of money at area businesses. Your child needs to return any unsold cards. Contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions. Next turn in date is Tuesday 9/20 and final turn in date is Tuesday 9/27.
Jacket
Some of our classrooms are cold, your child is welcome to bring a light jacket to wear.
Technology Update
If your child is planning on bringing a device to school, remember they must have a signed contract. iPod touches, iPhones and other phones are not allowed. Please consult the BYOD website for additional information. http://fpdesbyod.weebly.com/
