Welcome (letter to parents)

Dear Parents:

Welcome back to school!

This new school year has new challenges as well as excitements that come with rewards waiting for us. Academically, fourth grade is the entrance to second phrase of learning and knowledge accumulation.

ISD provides all school supplies. In our class, all students’ schoolwork/homework will be kept in binders at classroom for reviewing purpose. I will review them with you at least twice a year at Parent Teacher conferences or anytime you request. Then the binders will be sent home after conference at every trimester.

ISD also provides each student a T-shirt and a cap that are to be worn on field trips. Caps will be kept in the class.

I encourage you and your child to check our 4th grade blog (sudmis.blogspot.com) at least once a week because there are many listening and reading resources. You can also find useful reminders, classroom activities and field trip pictures.

Your child should check out a library book every Thursday. Please ask him/her to read it 10-15 minutes daily, and keep it in the backpack every day since it will be one of the materials that we will use for class activities. There is also approximately one hour of daily assigned Chinese and Math homework except weekend.  

Please make sure your child is wearing the proper outfit and shoes for PE classes on Mondays and Fridays.

Our Chinese program will continue to use Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) from K3 through 5th grade in 2014-2015 school year. Every student will have many chances to earn Panda prizes by demonstrating positive behaviors.

A monthly newsletter will be sent to you by email. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me anytime at su.li@isdenver.org. I am looking forward to a great year working with you and all the students! Thank you in advance for your support throughout this school year!!!

Sincerely
Su Li

4th grade teacher
