4th GRADE HOMEPAGE

Mrs. Steinhart's Corner

It seems as though everyone is finally waking up from the long, cold winter. Trees are blooming, birds are chirping, grass is growing...we all just want to be outside enjoying nature. I realize that it's difficult to stay focused during this time of year. I pray that God will give me patience and my students the ability to focus during our last month together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What should my child do if he/she forgets materials for homework at school?

Answer: Write a note in his/her planner letting Mrs. Steinhart know why the homework was not finished. He/she will NOT need to serve a mandatory if there is a written note explaining what happened.

Question: What is the best way to reach Mrs. Steinhart?

Answer: Writing a note in your child's planner or e-mailing me will get you the fastest response. However, I am always willing to meet with you before or after school to talk in person.
