Summer News

for June through August, 2009

 Important Information

Welcome to the 2009-2010 fourth graders and their families.  I am looking forward to meeting you on Tuesday, September 1st from 2:00PM to 6:00PM.  Please bring all of your supplies so you don't have to worry about them on our first real day of school.

Hot lunch for Wednesday, September 2nd is chicken nuggets OR ham and cheese sub sandwich, potato rounds, seasoned corn and orange wedges.  Yum.

Over the summer, please read for at least twenty minutes every day.  Just as important - please practice your math facts every day - in the car, at the dentist, under your bed, up in your tree house, while waiting for the fireworks to begin, etc.  Take your mom to The Learning Shop and purchase two 12 sided die.  Use these to roll two numbers to add, subtract or multiply together.  The dice are easier to carry around than flashcards.  The math concepts we're going to work with this year will be easier to master the more fluent and automatic you are with your math facts.

Parents - it is going to be VERY hot in our classroom come September.  Please send a water bottle (or two) labeled with your child's name so they can stay hydrated.  Also, please send a healthy snack (popcorn, crackers, fruit, vegetables, breakfast bar, granola bar, pretzels, cheese, etc) for morning snack time.  Please do not send candy - I will take it away.

I will be in and out at school over the summer reworking all areas of the curriculum in preparation for the upcoming school year.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at kdaemmrich@stmaryeg.org.  Thank you.
