Hello Families!!

Welcome to my webpage! My name is Mrs. Karas and I am honored to be your child’s fourth grade ELA and Social Studies teacher for the upcoming 2019-2020 school year! 

I believe that the cornerstone to a successful classroom, and school, lies in a good parent-teacher relationship. Throughout the year I will be communicating with you through parent-teacher conferences, notes, phone calls and e-mails. Please know that my door is always open and I encourage you to voice any questions or concerns that you may have. I can be reached at the school at (718) 426-9369, or by email, mrskaras.grade4@gmail.com

I encourage you to visit our ClassTag site for the most up to date information, announcements and pictures. If you are not connected, please reach out and I will invite you. 

I look forward to a sucessful year!

Week of September 9

The first week of school has been such a great success! I'm looking forward to a very productive year! The students are settling in nicely and the whole school is already running like we never left.

Please continue to send in the remaining supplies, and send the $50 activity fee to the ENGLISH teachers.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you on Thursday night, September 12 @ 6PM. This will be our opportunity to meet and to give you a preview on what to expect for the year. I hope to see you there!

Welcome to 4th Grade!

Hello Families!

Welcome back to school! I hope that everyone had a wonderful summer. My name is Mrs Karas, and I am very happy and excited to be teaching fourth grade this year. For those of you who are new to J.I.Q., I welcome you, and I look forward to meeting you. For those of you returning to J.I.Q., welcome back! I think this will be a fabulous year!  

 

My goal is to help students to become active in their education so they enjoy learning new ideas and concepts that they can take with them throughout their educational career. I hope to give my students the skills and knowledge necessary for their successful future, as well as instilling an eagerness and enthusiasm to know more and to question why. I want them all to believe that there isn’t anything they can’t do!
 

Please remember to:

• Check your child's backpack/ homework folder daily for any announcements or school notifications
• Send in any supplies and the $50 activity fee (Please only have students hand it in to either myself or Mrs. Johns)
• Encourage your child to read each night for at least 20 minutes to help improve their independent reading level (and record it on their reading log!)
• Sign up for our classroom communication app 'Class Tag'
