Mrs. Block2013-2014

I grew up in Webster. I graduated from the

University of South Dakota.

I taught 2nd grade in Wyoming and 5/6th grade in Minnesota and Head Start in Webster.

I have been teaching at Webster since 1999.

We read tons of great stories. We set goals and reach for the stars

with AR. We write about our thoughts, opinions,

and information we’ve learned. We master the location of all 50 states. We explore many Science topics. We ace fractions, decimals, and cover

lots of numbers. We improve our keyboarding skills.

Fourth graders are expected to read every night for 15-20 minutes in their DEAR book.

It is your job to have parents sign your planner each night and return it to school each morning with your DEAR book.

I check planners at 8:30. If yours is missing or not signed, you need to make up the reading time at recess.

We begin each day with Math.

The IXL site is a valuable tool.

You should spend 10-15 minutes on IXL at home several nights each week.

If you don’t have a computer at home, we’ll talk about ways to work it out.

If you pay attention use your time wisely, you should finish homework in about a half hour.

All homework is due the next morning. Anything unfinished will be counted wrong.

If you forget your homework you will need to do it over at recess.

If you forget too often, we will have a problem.

I expect students to listen the first time.

I expect students to do their best with a positive attitude.

I expect students to be well behaved, especially for other teachers.

You can expect me to help you learn.

You can expect me to work hard each day with a positive attitude.

We work hard. We are responsible. We laugh and make

new friends. We do our best! We have fun

learning.

Let’s Have a Wonderful Year!
