Dear Fourth Grade Parents,
Where has this school year gone? It is hard to believe that we are just one
month away from the end of the year! Soon your children will be fifth graders
and then graduates from Bet Breira!
Although the year is coming to a close, your children continue to learn new
skills each day. I am also happy to see them apply the skills they have
learned throughout the year to their written work. Your children make me
proud!
So again, please help your children remember to:
* Arrive at school on time (8:15 am is even better!).
* Complete a Reading Log and 2 Reading Plus Lessons weekly and turn in
the form EVERY Monday morning.
* Return the Manila Folder and signed Test papers EVERY Tuesday morning.
* Improve their self-discipline by socializing less during work time.
This month your children will be working on the following objectives:
LANGUAGE ARTS

as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nancy Greenberg
