Welcome to Slinger Elementary
I would like to welcome you to another school year. It is a great privilege to be here at Slinger Elementary and to work with such great kids and families. I know that in the beginning of the year families are overwhelmed with information on “what to expect”. I’ve tried to outline the most IMPORTANT things. You can always visit my website where I keep a lot of our most important information. You can find my website at //www.slinger.k12.wi.us/schools/slinger/ Then click on staff, scroll to 4th grade, and click on Mrs. Timmler’s website.
Ø Assignment notebooks and reading logs (20 minutes minimum reading required nightly) should be signed nightly. Assignment notebooks are the best way for home/school communication.
Ø Students should practice math facts nightly until they are mastered. We do assess addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts for the 4th grade report cards.
Ø Assignments need to be completed with their best effort and on time. If homework is not completed, students will be asked to give up their lunch recess to go to finish their work.
Ø Other homework will consist of studying for tests and incomplete work from their day at school. If you find your child is spending a significant amount of time each night on homework, please contact me so we are able to resolve this issue.
Ø We switch teachers for Science and Social Studies. Mrs. Buhr will teach all the Science and I teach all the Social Studies. If you have any questions in Science, you can refer them to her, or I’d be more than happy to help you.
Ø Our classroom discipline is easy to understand. Please see the attached sheet. I will go over this procedure with students and have a contract for them to keep.
Ø We have a long day, so your child will need something to keep them going. Please have your child bring 1 or 2 healthy snacks for our morning break time (example: pretzels, fruit, granola bars).
