Welcome!
Fourth grade brings some challenging concepts and lessons, but along with that comes so many incredible memories and FUN! My goal each year is for each child to GROW. It does not matter where your child is academically or socially. You will be amazed at the growth shown from day one to the last day of school. I do not just focus on academics in this classroom. I want your child to feel comfortable in a social setting and learn important life lessons as well.
My hope for this newsletter is that it will inform you of the things to come for this year, with updated newsletters to follow. I hope to answer a few of the questions you may have at this time. Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime you have a question, concern, or just want to touch base.
YESTERDAY WAS AWESOME!!!
What an incredible bunch of scholars I have!! Even though yesterday consisted of a ton of me doing the talking, we still managed to have some FUN! There were Legos and M&M's. I promised them that the information overload will slow down for sure as the week progresses!
We laughed a TON, used some logical thinking, learned about each other, and I can't wait to continue to do the same throughout the year!
