Dear Parents, families, and students,

                                   We are off to a wonderful start! I am looking forward to an awesome first full week of learning and making memories. It was my pleasure to meet all of you during orientation. Please mark your calendars for our Open House. This great informational event will take place on August 28th from 6:00-7:30. I will be going over our class schedule, my expectations, homework, and several other important peces of information that would help you make your child's year very successful. I look forward to seeing you all there.

                              Your child will have a snack time this year. It is your child's responsibility to supply their own snack. It must be healthy and able to be eaten on the go. Most times it will be a working snack. 

                              This year, your child will be tested on word application. They brought home their first one on Friday. We will be going over the sheet in detail on Monday. As soon as how they will be tested on the information is finalized, I will share it with you. A new form will be given each Friday for the following week.

                               In math, we will be starting chapter one on place value. It is my hope to be able to complete most of the homework components for the lessons in class, and only have to assign homework twice a week. Fast facts will also be practiced in class. If your child needs additional practice, then they should be reviewing them at home. 

                               Geography will comprise the social studies lessons. Your child will be expected to identify the physical features of Florida, explain how the weather impacts our state, locate and label cultural features on a Florida map, and interpret political and physical maps.

                                Science will takes us into exploring Earth in space. Recognizing that the Earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis, relating that the rotation of the Earth and apparent movements of the sun, moon, and stars are all connected are just a couple of the items your child will be expected to understand.

                                I am thrilled to be a part of your child's education. I am certain that with your help, together, your child will have a very successful fourth grade year. I wish you all a save and productive week. If you should have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.                                                

Love,

Mrs. Caputo
