2023-2024
I’m so excited to be teaching 4th grade this year. I look forward to working together with students and families for a fun and successful year! Your students will have many opportunities to grow academically as well as become more successful in their lives.
At Jackson, we’ve added a ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ to the our school day. This allows students time to think, reflect, and practice strategies that will help them be the best student, friend, family member and citizen that they can be.
Our Counselor, Mrs. Kisler, and our Social Worker, Mrs. Ruiz, are also available to assist should the need arise.

Jackson is proud to be an AVID Elementary School for more than seven years. This means that students experience school through teaching and reinforcing higher level thinking. Students develop the academic habits they will need to be successful in middle school, high school, college, and beyond. Your child will continue to learn about organization, study skills, communication, and self-advocacy.
Our Curriculum will follow the Colorado Academic Standards. If you are curious as to what skills we will be working on this year, the 4th grade standards are posted on the D11 website: https://www.d11.org/Page/5151
READING
The best way to become better readers is to read EVERY day (weekends and holidays too!).
Students are expected to read daily for a minimum of 30 minutes at home. They can read from any types of books, magazines, cookbooks, directions, and/or newspapers.
Here are some things you can do to help them.
1. Give students a variety of reading opportunities: reading alone, reading aloud to someone else, having someone read aloud to them.
2. Ask your student to tell you about what they’ve read each day.
3. Have your student read the directions for a recipe to you while you cook.
4. Choose a “Reading Buddy” that they can read to. This can be a stuffed animal, or a family pet, a sibling, or a poster of their favorite character.
5. Create a “Family Book Club” where everyone shares what they’ve read and what they think about it!
6. Turn on the closed captioning for the TV and put the sound to mute.
