Mrs. Kolbert is a extraordinary teacher and does amazing things with us fourth graders, but there are necessary expectations that are needed to be met.

To begin with, the basic rules are: no hitting or touching anyone, don’t interrupt the class, don’t talk when the teacher’s talking unless you have a question or comment, but no calling out, raise a quiet hand, turn in your homework and school work on time. If you don’t bring you’re school work in on time you could get points deducted from you’re grade. Don’t think, ”what if I forget my homework, will I have to sign the book?” Mrs. Kolbertcan easily work things out, but if you haven’t been turning in your homework repeatedly there will be consequences. Participate in school activities, if you don’t, points will be deducted from your grade or you will receive other consequences.

Don’t worry, there is an upside, Mrs.Kolbert is so awesome that she lets our class do wordles, Daily quotes, and Video conferences with people.  For example, we video chatted with Erica Ebbel, a scientist (to find out more click here).  There are so many more amazing thing Mrs. Kolbert does with our class, hopefully she will do the same things with you. If you would like to see some of the interesting stuff we did click here.

These are the expectations fourth grade beholds for you.

I am sunset

You know me for my beautiful sky colors

I live for a few hours

My best friend is the sun

Because she makes my colors visible

I fear night

Because it steals the thing I call life

I love water

Because it is my mirror

I wish for everyone to admire me
