    Mrs.

    Tebeaus Fabulous Fourth Grade


    July 18, 2016
    Welcome to 4th grade!
    My name is Ruth
    Tebeau and I am your
    students teacher this
    year. I am so excited to
    begin a new year with exciting possibilities. This
    year the expectations will
    be greater, but I am always here to guide and
    support. I am confident
    that if we all work together we can make
    this the best year yet!
    Homework Folders and Planners
    Your student should come home with
    their binder, planner, and reading log each
    night. Please review the planner and sign
    after your student has completed their
    homework and 30 minutes of reading. Unless otherwise noted, all homework is due
    the following day. Please also sign the reading log after they have read.
    Communication
    I would like to communicate with
    each of you electronically throughout the
    year via email. Please send me an email to
    [email protected] with your students
    name included so that I can save your contact information.
    My website, mrstebeau.weebly.com is a
    great way to keep up with what is going on
    in our class. All of my contact information
    is listed at the bottom of this newsletter.
    This is the only newsletter you will receive
    this year. Make sure to check the website
    often.

    Snack
    Students are invited to bring in their
    own snack and water bottle with a lid each
    day. We will have a set snack time in the
    afternoon. These should be healthy snacks
    such as fresh fruit, veggies, crackers, cheese,
    etc. Please do not send in candy, chips, or
    other junk food. Last year the school had a
    grant that supplied a snack for each child
    daily.
    Students may bring a water bottle
    from home. The school will also provide bottled water for your student. Only water is
    allowed in the classroom, except for breakfast and lunch times.
    Requested Classroom Donations
    These will be kept in the classroom supply.
    These are not required.
    Tissues
    Hand sanitizer
    Cleaning wipes
    Gallon sized zippered plastic bags
    100 watt and 60 watt CFL light bulbs
    (the squiggly kind)
    Suggested Student Supplies
    The following items will be provided to your
    student, but they may bring in their own if
    they wish. These are not required.
    Pencil box/bag
    Crayons
    Pencils
    Markers
    Colored pencils
    Scissors

    4th Grade Open House


    August 9th from 5:00-6:30 pm
    New student orientation is August 3rd
    from 5:00 to 6:00 pm

    Leader In Me
    We are continuing our Leader in Me
    program this year. The 7 habits are:
    Habit 1: Be proactive
    Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
    Habit 3: Put first things first
    Habit 4: Think win-win
    Habit 5: Seek first to understand,
    then to be understood
    Habit 6: Synergize
    Habit 7: Sharpen the saw
    Essential 55
    We are also using the Essential 55
    rules, based on the book written by Ron
    Clark. Your student will have a list of
    them in their binder.
    Houses
    Students will continue in the house
    they were in last year. Each house contains
    3rd-8th graders. Students will compete for
    points throughout the year. The houses are
    named as follows:
    Animus which means Courage - red
    Visionaria which means Visionary yellow (my house)
    Pro Aliis Vivo which means Selfless green
    Amicus which means Comradery - blue
    Classroom Management
    I follow a Love and Logic style of discipline in my classroom. I give children logical consequences that fit with the behavior.
    This would include, but is not limited to
    cleaning up an area after a student gets
    upset and throws things, having to come in
    during recess to finish work that was not
    completed, etc.
    I also have a visual behavior chart
    that helps students to monitor their own

    behavior. Each day they start on green and


    have the ability to move up and down as
    their behavior warrants. The steps are as
    follows:
    Pink- Hip, hip hooray! Youve found the
    LEADER in YOU today!
    Purple-What a leadership trendsetter!
    YOU understand that together is better!
    Blue-Your leadership skills are starting
    to glow! Keep working hard to make
    them grow!
    Green- Youre ready go to, youre on your
    way! Did you set a personal goal for today?
    Yellow- Be in charge of your choices and
    turn it around Get your day back on
    proactive ground!
    Orange-Dont get hung up on silly mistakes! Put first things first. Youve got
    what it takes!
    Red-Take a breath and get control-You
    need to balance your mind, heart, body
    and soul.
    The exception to the steps listed
    above is when a student is physically
    harming another student, the student has
    a handbook violation, or when their behavior is stopping the rest of the class from
    learning. If necessary, when dealing with
    students during any of the above listed
    steps, I will call the parents or guardians of
    the student.

    See you August 8th at 8:30 am!!!!
