4th Grade Syllabus

Welcome to fourth grade at Bowe School!  We hope the upcoming school year will be a fun and educational year for you.

Below are the educational, behavioral, and student requirements for all fourth grade students at Bowe School.

Educational Requirements:

The fourth grade teachers expect 100% effort from every student everyday.  We encourage and expect students to become actively involved in their classroom and become fully involved in their educational career.  We expect active involvement and participation starting in September and continuing until June.  In addition to this, students are expected to fulfill basic daily requirements for a successful day in fourth grade.

The fourth grade teachers also encourage parents to become involved in their child’s educational experience by volunteering for different grade level and school-wide activities.

The requirements are as follows:

1. All homework is to be completed by and handed in on the date that it is due.

2. You are responsible for coming to class prepared everyday.  Items needed are:

• Pencils and a pen for marking (Absolutely NO pens for math)
• Two - Double pocket folders
• Two spiral notebooks (Language and Math)
• Expo Marker and sock( used for eraser)
• Silent reading book
• One hand held pencil sharpener
• One box of tissues

~ PLEASE, NO TRAPPER –KEEPERS, BINDERS, OR PENCIL CASES~

Behavioral Requirements

All students are expected to follow all school and class rules as outlined in the Parent/Student Handbook.

Your fourth grade year at Bowe School will be one of your most memorable school years.  As a fourth grader you have the opportunity to participate in many wonderful activities.  However, your participation in activities is not guaranteed.  In order to participate in activities you must meet the following eligibility requirements.   These requirements are based primarily on behavior.  For example:

·        Discipline referrals/detentions will keep you from participating in our many fun field trips.

·        One suspension within 45 school days of a trip will exclude you from that class trip.

·        Consistently submitting incomplete assignments, including homework and class work, may result in removal from a trip or activity.

Your teachers will treat all students with RESPECT and expect you to show RESPECT in return: RESPECT for your teachers, RESPECT for your classmates, and above all, RESPECT for yourself!

REMINDER

Summer reading book reports are due the second week back to school.  Please check the June report card for information.

We are looking forward to a GREAT year!
