Fourth Graders Are Here…

2. We’re SO glad to have you in our classes!
4th Grade!
We’re SO glad to have you in our classes!

3. Your Fourth Grade Teachers
All 8 of us are on the same page and have the same expectations!
When you are out of your room, you represent your class, your teacher, and fourth grade.

4. Fourth Grade Philosophy
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Yourself
Time (use your time wisely)
Others
Property
Use manners at all times.

5. Be Independent! Do not ask your teacher 5,000 questions!
Try your absolute best!
Be a risk-taker! If you make a mistake, then it’s the best way to learn!

6. Talking
There should not be excessive talking in class, in Specials, in the lunchroom, or in the hallway. There are appropriate times to speak socially and academically.
Remember, you represent your class and the fourth grade.

7. Grades You no longer have 1, 2, 3 or 3+ You have A, B, C, D, F.
If you are not happy with a grade, then ask, “What can I do to make this better?” or “Did I do my BEST?”
SYNERGY-You and your parents can check your grades.

8. We just want you to give 100% effort!
A’s and B’s
Wow! I’m working hard and being responsible!
C’s
Uh oh! I could work harder. I can bring my grade up with hard work. I’ve got this!
D’s and F’s
YIKES!! I’ll work harder and try my best from the beginning!
We just want you to give 100% effort!

9. Work Quality Always do your BEST!
If you don’t have time to do it right, you have time to do it again.
If a teacher asks you to redo an assignment, it’s because we know you can do better.
Have a Growth Mindset! 

10. Organization You have to keep up with your work.
There should never be loose papers in your desk or in your book bag.
Music, Art, and Spanish assignments should be kept in appropriate folders.
Your teacher will only make you ONE worksheet; no extras will be made.

11. Self-Assessment Do not ask the teacher, “Is this okay?”
Follow directions that are given.
If you think you have done your best, then be happy!
