I'm LOOPING to 4th Grade!!!

May 7, 2015

Dear Parents and Guardians,

            I am happy to inform you that I will be transitioning to teach 4^th grade for the 2015 – 2016 school year! I will be self contained which means I will continue teaching reading and will now teach Math/Science/Social Studies. I am really looking forward to this opportunity.

This letter is to inform you that because of my new placement, a majority of my current reading students will be able to follow me to 4^th grade which gives me the pleasure of being their teacher again. This opportunity will allow me to enhance your child’s growth in all subject areas while better preparing them for the 4^th grade Florida Standards Assessment. This placement will allow your child to have a smooth transition to 4^th grade. Having already spent a school year together, we will be able to jump right into the curriculum, therefore, maximizing our academic time in preparation for the FSA.

            If you have any questions regarding this, or you would like to choose to opt in/out of this opportunity, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am happy to address any questions and/or concerns you may have. I am looking forward to continuing to work with you and your child.

Sincerely,

Ms. François

It pays to collect change!!

Kona Ice & Kidney awareness. Thank you to all the kiddos that collected and brought in loose change. Due to their efforts, we won the challenge for our grade level. The students enjoyed Kona ice, face painting, dancing and cotton candy.

Tutoring

I will be offering tutoring on Monday and Tuesday mornings beginning in March. Tutoring will be from 8am - 8:20am.

The weeks ahead... FSA

This week will be a review week. The next few weeks we will be concentrating on strengthening skills and strategies to prepare students for the FSA. In doing so, instruction may be slightly altered to accommodate these changes. Please continue to have your students read outside of school (chapter books, science based text, non-fiction). Also, they should focus on main idea, key details, cause and effect, problem and solution, point of view and grammar. Feel welcome to contact me with any questions or concerns.
