Remote Learning March- June 2020
Dear 4th Grade Students and Families,
We hope everyone is staying well and safe. First of all, thank you for your patience! The fourth grade teachers are doing our very best to keep your child learning and engaged throughout this difficult time.
We will be tracking the students’ daily progress and completion of assignments on Google Classroom and the various websites we set up (e.g. RazKids, Prodigy, etc.). Due to the current circumstances, all tasks we assign will contribute to the students’ overall attendance and grade. Participation in discussions on Google Classroom is required and not optional. If possible, please provide your child a quiet space to read and complete their work.
Student Expectations:
● Log on to Google Classroom each morning to read the assignments of the day
● Complete daily math, reading, writing, etc. assignments by 8pm.
● Use proper grammar and spelling when completing written assignments (we’re not texting… this is formal!)
● Follow all norms and rules of school and the classroom.
We understand this is a confusing time for all and we will try our best to be efficient in answering any questions you have. We will be available via Google Classroom during the school day to support you and your child in any way we can. We miss all of our students and hope to see you soon!
Sincerely, Fourth Grade Teachers
