Fourth grade is an exciting year! The students are always anxious to begin traveling and become more independent. They will have me for every subject, but science. Please feel free to contact me if you are unable to find the information you need on this site.

HOMEWORK

Homework will be based on work not completed during the normal school day. It will vary daily, and some students may have more than others. Assignment notebooks will be important for students to stay organized and to complete work on time. They are often used as a form of communication between teachers and parents. Teachers check them daily and we ask that you do as well. Students have a ‘Take Home’ folder with pockets labeled ‘Things to Keep’ and ‘Things to Return’. We have found that this also helps with organization.

HOMEWORK

Stories are read aloud in class on Mondays. On Tuesdays, we listen to the story and follow along on the Interactive Whiteboard. A test is then taken over the story. Grades are based on the tests as well as workbook pages completed in class.

ABOUT ME

Fourth grade teacher Angie Logan at JFK Catholic School, engaging students in learning.

I have taught at JFK for 30 years. I attended Holy Family, Assumption, and St. Ambrose University. As a result, I have a strong belief in Catholic education. I have a son who attended JFK, Assumption, and is currently a senior at St. Ambrose University. My daughter also attended JFK, Assumption, and is currently a freshman in college. My husband and I feel blessed that they have been able to experience a Catholic education as well. I enjoy the families and staff at JFK and look forward to getting to know the students each year.
