to Mrs.Carroll's classroom!
Welcome to Mrs. Carroll’s fourth grade classroom. I am extremely excited to be working with your fourth grader this year. Fourth grade curriculum is challenging and fun at the same time. I began my career as a fourth grade teacher. However, for the last 8 years I have been a fifth grade teacher. I am excited to be back in fourth grade.

Reading Logs Each night silent reading homework is assigned. Twenty minutes of reading is required. Please fill out the reading log form and return it at the end of the month. Students are responsible for turning in their own logs. This will also count as a homework grade.
Friday Folder At the end of each week your child’s work will be sent home in his/her Friday Folder. I will also include any important notes that need to be sent that week.
Book Reports The children will explore different genres and have book projects throughout the year. The project requirements will be sent home. The children are expected to work on these at home. This is a great way for children to be exposed to a variety of books and to continue to read for a purpose as well as enjoyment!
Homework The purpose of homework in fourth grade is to instill and develop a sense of responsibility in completing and returning assignments. It also provides an opportunity to enrich and practice the skills or concepts that were introduced during class. If your child does not have their homework completed they will receive a late slip to let you know what they were missing.
Snack Included in our morning schedule will be a brief snack period. A healthy snack is suggested such as fruit, cheese and crackers, veggies, or yogurt. Birthday treats are welcome and appreciated for the class to enjoy.
Classroom Rules Honesty Respect Responsibility I have instituted a behavior policy to create a classroom climate which enables all children to learn. Each month, your child will receive a new behavior card which starts at 100%. When your child chooses to break a rule, they will receive a verbal warning. After that warning, if the behavior doesn’t change, he/she will receive an “x” on their behavior card. This “x” will equal 2 points off his/her card. At the end of the month your child will earn a behavior grade. After reviewing the card, please sign and return it to school. If your would like to contact me you can call Palos East at 448-1084 or e-mail me at lcarroll@palos118.org Thank You!! Back
