First Week
What a great class!!!
We have spent the week getting to know one another and the rules and procedures. We have also been reviewing many things and reading a cool story called "The Lost Lake". I am very excited about the energy and creativeness of this class. Make sure that you check the homework sheet each night and sign it on Thursday night. Spelling test will be numbers, such as 74 or 3,982. Students will have to write out the numbers in words, including commas.

Parent Letter
Dear parents,
Welcome! My name is Marian Miller and I will be your child’s teacher for the upcoming school year. I am excited to be teaching fourth grade.
One of my goals this year is to get every student organized in their study habits. To help with this, every week I will send home a HOMEWORK sheet. Please return this sheet each day. On this sheet is listed all the assignments they need to do at home, along with any school announcements. Monday-Thursday students should read for the assigned time and write the title of the book and pages read. You will find that this will help tremendously on the TAKS test in April. Please work to get your child to read for this amount of time or more. On days when they are unable to read, just try and make-up this time on another day that week. The students, or I, will list any other assignments that need to be finished as well.
Your child will also be putting together a MOOSE notebook to help keep them organized. They should place assignments, notes and graded papers inside. If you notice your child is not keeping their MOOSE organized, please talk to them about organization. I promise, the habits they learn in 4th grade will pay off, especially in Middle and High School someday!
This year your child will be taking 3 TAKS tests. In March, they will take the Writing test, and in late April, they will take Math and Reading tests.
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of our class schedule and other important information. Also, check the supply list to see that your child has everything they need to have a good school year. Also enclosed is a Student Information sheet. Please fill this out and return as soon as you can. Please feel free to call me or email me if you have any questions or concerns.
To help keep you up to date on events and assignments, I have created a blog for parents. There is also a blog we will use in class with helpful links for the students.
