What will homework be like in fourth grade?

Homework will not be given this year with the exception of the work that is part of your child's remote learning time. 

Are students required to read every night?

Yes. In addition to math, students are expected to read at least 20 minutes each night. Nightly reading can be...

• reading independently
• reading with a family member
• listening to an audio book
• online reading (such as on a Kindle, on Tumblebooks, Storyline Online, etc)
• Magazines, newspapers, etc

 

​If your child needs help finding books to read at night, please let me know. This year my classroom will be using a "book checkout app" to sign books out from our classroom library and bring home to read. I can surely help them find a book that's a good fit to enjoy at night! Just ask! :)

How can I get in touch with Mrs. Washburn?

text: The best way to get in touch with me is through text or email. I use the "Remind" text service to easily communicate with parents. As the year begins I will email parents the code to join my class. By using this free service, I can send out whole class reminders and announcements. You can respond to me directly without replying to the whole group. In addition, I can reach out to individual parents quickly and easily. Questions? Just ask.
