Welcome!
Hoping that everyone had a wonderful summer! We are happy to be coming back and are ready for a great year. Welcome back returning students and welcome to those who are new with us this year. Mrs. Krasnodebski will be working in 4th Grade Resource. Students will see her throughout the fourth-grade area!
We welcome back our students with three assistants in 4th grade. Mrs. Micek will continue sharing her instructional talents in 4th grade. She is a certified special education teacher. Also, Mrs. Bryant has come to join our team from 5th grade this year. She has a variety of educational experiences to add to our team the whole day through. Finally, Mrs. Kelly is joining our team to assist in one of our 4th grade math classes. How lucky we are to have such a talented, caring women as a part of our team!
Our first week included "Getting to Know You" activities, team building and learning classroom procedures. The students and teachers have been getting to know each other, sharing some laughs and working hard.
Mrs. Krasnodebski's teaching is based on the premise that all students can learn, despite any obstacles in their path. For that reason, our students receive instruction and support both in the general education classroom and in the resource room. Your child will receive an educational program that encompasses the goals and instructional strategies outlined in his/her Individualized Education Program (IEP). We will work very hard to help your child complete all of his/her goals and objectives. If you have any questions regarding your child's academic performance, please do not hesitate to make contact.
The resource room is a classroom like any other. In order to function, it must have rules and policies that ensure fair treatment for teachers and students alike.
We are all looking forward to working with your child and helping him/her to achieve at his/her full potential. Mrs. Krasnodebski will discuss your child's academic history with his/her classroom teachers in preparation for the upcoming year. The parent-teacher relationship is vital to your child's success in school. By working together, we can help your child have a very fulfilling learning experience.
Fourth-grade students will take MAP tests during the week of 8/29. The Reading portion of the test is scheduled for Tuesday, 8/30 and the Math portion will take place on Wednesday, 8/31. Our motto for MAP testing is "Don't stress...just do your best!"
Please be sure to mark your calendar for Curriculum Night, which is scheduled for Tuesday, August 30th from 6:30 to 7:30. You will have an opportunity to visit our classroom, and to meet your child's math teacher. There will also be a presentation regarding the district "Learning Never Stops" technology initiative.
Mrs. Krasnodebski may be reached during school hours at (630) 783-5097. You may leave a voice mail message. Your call will be returned as soon as possible. She may also be reached at the respective e-mail address: jkrasno@ccsd66.org . She can respond more quickly when sent an email. Throughout the year, she will communicate with the home through notes in the assignment notebook, blog, telephone calls, progress reports, school newsletters and report cards. She will also be available for parent-teacher conferences, as they are needed.
Once again, welcome back! The 2016-2017 school year is going to be a great experience for your child! Thank you in advance for your support and commitment throughout the year.
Mrs. Krasnodebski and Beseth's Math Class:
We will have our first day of math on Monday. Our first module is Models for Multiplication and Division. The students will learn how to interpret products of whole numbers using number lines, ratio tables, and rectangular rays. There will be a nightly homework assignment.
