Welcome to the Fourth Grade Class

                                                      Webpage.

You'll find weekly spelling lists, vocabulary, homework and test notices posted here.

Have a great year!

3 canvas (plastic ones break) zippered pencil pouches-NO PLASTIC PENCIL BOXES!

4 packages WIDE RULED notebook paper (hopefully,this will be a year''s supply)

2 pink erasers

1 package colored pencils-cheap is great

2 pairs scissors

4 #2 pencils + a supply at home

1 package 24 count crayons-NO LARGER!

1 package markers

3 red pens

6 solid colored PLASTIC pocket folders (1 each: blue, red, yellow, purple & green + one more)

3 composition books

6 packages 3”X 5” index cards (again, a year''s supply)

2 glue sticks

3 XL (200+) boxes of Kleenex-soft ones please, they are for your child''s nose

1 box Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissues (for flu season-to hopefully keep down doctor bills)

5 zippered sandwich bags

1 rosary in case that can be left at school

Note cards and notebook paper are used collectively and DO NOT need to have your child's name on them. Please label all other supplies with your child''s name in permanent marker.

NO 3-ring binders or Trapper Keepers as they do not fit into our desks and will be sent home. Save your money on these high dollar items.

Please NO sparkle pens or any other similar pencils or pens as they only become a distraction.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD''S LUNCH BOX, SCHOOL SWEATERS OR SWEATSHIRTS HAVE THEIR NAME CLEARLY WRITTEN ON THE TAG AS IT IS VERY HARD TO IDENTIFY THE OWNER WHEN THEY ARE LEFT ON THE PLAYGROUND AND END UP IN LOST AND FOUND.

"One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings.  The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child."     Carl Jung
