Teacher Info
 Teacher Marc Van Assen - Fourth Grade (Send e-mail)
September 20th, 2017
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week our students will participate in benchmark screenings provided by FastBridge Learning. FastBridge is District 157-C’s new screening instrument that will take the place of AIMSweb. Similarly to AIMSweb, this assessment will be provided in the fall, winter and spring to help teachers determine which students are likely to meet the end of the year learning goals and which students may require intervention. This computer based assessment measures performance in reading and math. The district will be providing training to all teachers on score interpretation. More information will be forthcoming to parents. I look forward to working with your child this school year.
Sincerely,
Mr. Van Assen
We are currently working on informational writing. Each student has chosen a natural disaster to focus on. Please try to do some research at home on your topic. We are looking for general information on the topic as a whole and then information on a specific hurricane, tornado etc.
The students may bring in printed information or information notes on the topic.
The Bucket List reading is going great. This is only for students that remain with me for ELA. feel free to take the folder home to check progress. Please make sure the folder comes back to school every day. The students will be responsible for reading 10 books each quarter.
Each book will need to be approved by me. Each book will also have to be from a different genre. At the end of the quarter
the student will be responsible for a project.
The Writers Notebook look great thank you for all the hard work. .
Eureka math is going well. The students will come home with a workbook each day. The workbook contains the problem set problems we have done in class. Please use these problems to help you on the homework pages. Feel free to visit utube and search for Eureka module __ lesson __. You will find videos that will guide you on some of the problems from the lesson.
Lunch for our team is scheduled for 11:00 - 11:20 with recess following.
We will have a snack time in the afternoon.
Please feel free to sign up for Remind. This can be found in the downloads section of my teacher page. This allows me to send out classroom reminders to your phone.
School Hours.
