Parents' Back to School Night

 

Tonight is Parents' Back to School Night at Fox Hill from 6:30pm-8pm.  This is a time for parents to learn what your child will be learning about this year in fourth grade.  There will be an opening session in the Cafeteria with Principal Mrs. Johnson followed by sessions in the classroom.  I will repeat the same information in both sessions, so please feel free to come to either one.  Because time is so limited and so many families typically come, there is not time to address individual concerns.  We can meet privately at another time if you need to talk with me about your particular child's needs.

 

I look forward to seeing you tonight!

Instrument Lessons to Begin Soon

Mr. Napierkowski has been busy putting together schedules for students to begin receiving instrument instructions soon.  These lessons are available to all 4th and 5th grade students in Burlington with a fee only for rental of the instrument  (see the band blog link on the right hand sidebar here for more information).  Students receive weekly instruction on their instrument of choice as well as instruction on how to perform as a member of a larger school band that performs at some school assemblies.

 

Students in my class will have their lessons on Tuesdays beginning Tuesday,  September 10.  Instruments are not needed for this first lesson.  Lessons with instruments will begin on Tuesday, September 24.  If there are students who are interested but haven't chosen an instrument yet, they can go to any lessons next week to observe.

We've Survived the First Day!

The first day of fourth grade went smoothly today.  Students came in with smiles and seemed to quickly fall into step with old friends and new.  In the first few days especially, time will be spent getting to know each other and the classroom routines.  But don't worry- this will all pave the way to learning!  Little by little, academics will begin and patterns in homework and assignments will become familiar.  In the meantime, please feel welcome to email me at hwood@bpsk12.org with questions or call me at extension 6565.
