Dear Parents and Friends,
I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the Parents Club for the wonderful monetary donation to our classroom!
With our first short week of school off to a great start, we are looking forward to a successful second week. This is a wonderful, bright and curious community of learners, and I feel so happy to be their teacher!
We will be assembling our math and planner binders tomorrow (Monday) as a class. Please be sure your child has his/her blue binder so that we can get started with the process this week. Shauna and I will be handing out the planners and dividers and supporting each student with this task. The blue binder will travel back and forth with your student on a daily basis. They will need a parent signature for the planner and an initial for the reading log EVERYDAY, so please be sure to ask your child about it.
Math: place value. The planner in the blue binder will reflect the math homework assignments with page numbers should you need to reference them. The lesson and homework assignment will be in the pocket so that your child and anyone who might support them with homework will have a reference to the teaching point of the day.
There is no science homework this week.
Tuesday grammar homework: worksheet on 4 types of sentences due Wed.
Nightly reading is 20 minutes a night for 4th graders. A reading log comes home in the planner for parents to initial each night upon nightly reading completion.
Shauna has volunteered to be our room parent! We are so lucky. Thank you Shauna!
Thank you for supporting our classroom and your child.
Warmly,
Mrs. Young

Dear Friends and Families,
I hope you have enjoyed your summer! I would like to welcome all of you back as we embark on a new school year. My name is Heather Young, and I will be your child's teacher this year for their fourth grade experience in the Intermediate School.
A little about myself.... I live in Scotts Valley with my husband Scott and our two children, Casey and Whitney. Casey just celebrated his 17th birthday and starts 11th grade at Scotts Valley High School. Now, over six feet tall, he plays football for the Falcons and seems very excited to be heading back to school to see his friends. 19 year old Whitney continues to attend Cabrillo College and work toward applying to San Jose State University's animation program. Whitney will be working in the classroom this year on Tuesday afternoons as an additional aide. This is really a wonderful experience for her and will be a nice added support in the classroom.
Professionally, I have a background and education in the humanities, teaching, and the arts. I originally started my teaching experience at the community college level and found that I enjoy teaching at the elementary level most of all, as I love children. I am quite tickled to be a part of the Mountain team of dedicated teachers, staff and parents again this year.
In closing, please find the supply list on the Home page under the Beginning of Year Business tab if you would like to get a jump on that before school begins. If you are still enjoying the last lingering moments of summer and are not so inclined, worry not. I will send home a hard copy of the list with your child on the first day of school (Wednesday August 24th) and you can gather things together next week as you are able. You may also fill out the parent interview on the same tab on the blog if you wish. Otherwise, I will send home copies of that with your child as well.
Please pop in to say hello and see our beautiful classroom. I am eager to meet all of you and your wonderful children.
Kind Regards,
Mrs. Young
