Volunteer Opportunity
Mounting Student Art
I will talk about volunteer opportunities at Back to School Night on Thursday Sept. 20th, but for the time being I was wondering if anyone was available to cut black paper and mount student art later this week or early next week. Please let me know. Thank you!

First Day of 4th Grade!
Wow! The first day of school is over and done, and as expected I think it's going to be a great year with a great group of kids!
There are a few things that would be beneficial for your child to bring to school if they have not already:
1) Water bottle! Students often get thirsty throughout the day. Rather than missing instructional time to get a drink they need to have a water bottle (w/a lid) at their desk.
2) Healthy snack. We will have a brief 5min snack mid morning. Their snacks need to be both healthy as well as quick and easy. Apples, granola bars, crackers, carrot sticks are all great options!
3) A chapter book for silent reading. While graphic novels, sport stat books, lego books and the like are all fun and interesting, silent reading books need to be a chapter books. Students are welcome to have the other books in their backpacks to read in spare time but during our "Read to Self" time they need to read a chapter book.
Over the weekend I compiled a parent email list and on Monday I emailed a trial run email to everyone. If you did not receive the trial parent email that means it either bounced back to me or I have a different email for you. Please let me know if you did not receive the email, providing me with the email address you would like to use for parent/teacher communication.
Also, please look for the Alameda Back to School packet to come home with your child tomorrow. This packet will contain a student registration form to be updated, cafeteria calendar, student handbook, PTA information and much more!
(don't forget to sign your child's planner indicating that both you and your child read this blog post)
I look forward to a great year!

Welcome to 4th Grade!
Dear Students and Families,
It’s
that time of year again and school is about to begin! Although it is always sad to see summer come to an end, I am
very excited to begin the school year and share in your 4th grade
experience.
This
will be my third year teaching 4th grade at Alameda. Over the past two years I have enjoyed
getting to know and working with our Alameda families, and feel grateful to be
a part of this wonderful community.
On
a more personal note, I wanted to share a little about myself. I am a native Oregonian and have lived
in Portland for twelve years. I moved here for college and fell in love with
this city! Despite wishing it were a bit warmer overall, I can’t imagine living
anywhere else. Outside of teaching, I enjoy staying active through running and
recreational sports. And though a little weary about this coming season, I am
also an avid Blazer fan. Yet the thing dearest to my heart is my family, of
which I am an aunt six (soon to be seven) times over. I enjoy spending time
with them whenever I am able.
As
the school year approaches I’m sure you’re curious what our year will hold. It
will no doubt be filled with new and old friends, fun activities, and new
experiences as we learn together.
In addition to improving our writing, reading, and math skills we will
be learning about both Oregon’s geography and history, as well as exploring
science topics such as electricity, bones and skeletons, and much more!
Attached
with this letter is a duplicate copy of the supply list and a survey to help me
to get to know you. Please fill
out the survey with your parents and bring to me the first week of school.
Enjoy
the last few days of summer! I
cannot wait to meet you and your families and begin what I know will be a
wonderful year together. See you
Wednesday, September 5th!
Sincerely,
Julie Brown
