Dear 4th Grade Families

By
As you know, Mr Jones has asked 4th grade to switch to remote learning at home next week while students quarantine and get tested. At this point, we're planning to return to in-person classes on Monday, September 13.

Over the weekend, the classroom will get deep cleaned and sanitized. On Tuesday morning, I'll pack up Chromebooks, chargers, books, and materials for each student in named brown paper grocery bags, and set them outside on the sidewalk outside the Gym/ Cafeteria. Please plan to come up to school for your child's bag of materials anytime between 12:00 and 2:00 pm on Tuesday, September 7. Just pull up, find your son or daughter's bag, and pick it up.  We can also send those bags home with siblings in other grades if it's more convenient for you. Please let me know if you'd prefer that option, and I'll deliver it to them to take home. 

Students should check back here on Tuesday afternoon for independent assignments.  Then, we'll have online classes on Google Meet/ Google Classroom Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Students will have independent work to complete in the afternoons. Other teachers may also arrange online sessions with 4th graders when possible during those 3 days. I'll be available on Google Meet in the afternoons to answer questions, tutor, and help kids as needed individually or in small groups. I'll send out our Meet link and more info. to students on Tuesday. It will be in their school Gmail and also in our Google Classroom in the top banner of that page. Parents, if possible, please help your child get started next Wednesday morning at 8:30 for our first online class session.

Please email me if you have any questions about next week. Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility with this whole situation. I wish you all a fun, safe, healthy Labor Day weekend.    Take care, MB

Welcome Parents and Students!

You've found it, Mr. Bonner's Blog! This is my very first foray into this realm of communication, so check back for more soon as I start to figure it all out. It's my plan to use this space to post weekly spelling lists, math assignments, project information, announcements, and educational links. Students, if you read this post, tell me the secret code: "Prime Meridian," in a whisper the next time you see me in class. That way I'll know you were here. Parents, if you're able to find this, please post a comment to let me know i'ts working. And I'm always looking for worthwhile educational links for kids. Share your links with me and I'll post them here. Also, bookmark this link into your computer so you can check back. If students and parents are using this blog, I'll update the posts on a weekly basis. Como siempre, Mr. Michael Bonner

Welcome to the TCS 4th Grade Blog!

Hello to all the incoming 4th grade students and parents at Taos Charter! I hope you've all have had a fantastic summer break. I really enjoyed mine too, but I'm glad to be back working in the classroom and excited to kick off another school year with this new group of kids. School starts Monday, August 17th at 8:15 AM. Fourth grade supply lists are available in the office or at the TCS website in the "For Parents" section. It's not necessary for everyone to have all the supplies on the first day. Pencils, folders, and composition books are the most important items. Until then, get outside, have some fun, and make the most of your last days of break. I'll see you bright and early on Monday! Our TCS Welcome Back Pot-Luck is Friday, August 14th from 5:30 to 7:00pm if you can make it. Thanks for taking the time to find and read our 4th grade blog! Please be sure to bookmark it into your links. -Mr. Michael Bonner email: mbonner@taoscharterschool.org
