I hope you are having
an enjoyable and relaxing summer. It
sure has gone fast, hasn’t it? I
am looking forward to meeting you when school starts.
Usually the first thing students like to
do to get ready for a new school year is to run out and buy supplies.
Before you go shopping please note the specific things that you
will need. Some things will
be provided for you at school. For
example, I will give you a new pencil each month, a box of 8 crayons on
the first day of school, tablet, 2 spiral notebooks, a journal, and
notebook paper for in-school work. But, you may want to have extra
pencils, your own markers or crayons for in-school use, etc. I
suggest getting a pencil box to hold your items.
The long, skinny Spacemaker that holds a 12” ruler is one that
will fit nicely into your desk
You need a 2-inch binder for poetry.
Make sure the binder is sturdy. The ones with zippers work very
well. Do not put anything else in this binder. It will be full by
the end of the year!
While you are shopping, you might want to
get supplies for your homework survival kit so you can complete your
homework without stress. See the list of supplies that I suggest having
on hand at home for doing your homework.
Another way to prepare for school is to
study your summer packet. Make sure that you know the map items
and also have practiced your math facts. You will have a test on
these things during the first week of school.
Check out more about our classroom by
reading through this web page. You will find out a great many things
about what we will be doing in 4th grade. Feel free to send me and email
if you have any questions.
See you real soon,
Mrs. Byer
