Never Fear…

Fourth Graders Are Here…

Your Fourth Grade Teachers

O All 8 of us are on the same page and have the same expectations!

O When you are out of your room, you represent your class, your teacher, and fourth grade.

Fourth Grade Philosophy

O R-E-S-P-E-C-TO YourselfO OthersO Property

Be Independent!O Do not ask your teacher 5,000

questions!

O Try your absolute best!

O Be a risk-taker! If you make a mistake, then it’s the best way to learn!

GradesO You no longer have 1, 2, 3 or 3+

O You have A, B, C, D, F.

O If you are not happy with a grade, then ask, “What can I do to make this better?” or “Did I do my BEST?”

TalkingO There should not be excessive

talking in class, in Specials, in the lunchroom, or in the hallway.

O Remember, you represent your class and the fourth grade.

Work Quality O Always do your BEST!

O If you don’t have time to do it right, you have time to do it again.

O If a teacher asks you to redo an assignment, it’s because we know you can do better.

OrganizationO You have to keep up with your work.

O There should never be loose papers in your desk or in your book bag.

O Music, Art, and Spanish assignments should be kept in appropriate folders.

O Your teacher will only make you ONE worksheet; no extras will be made.

RecessO Privilege and not a right.

O If you have to lose recess, you will sit in a teacher’s room until you complete the assign or reflection sheet.

O Sitting out is a consequence.

Self-AssessmentO Do not ask the teacher, “Is this

okay?” O Follow directions that are given. O If you think you have done your

best, then be happy!
