Welcome to 4th Grade!
We are so excited to start a new school year!
Outside reading of "Ranita - The Frog Princess"
Since it was such a beautiful day, we had reading class outside. Sitting in a large circle the students followed stage directions to act out the play "Ranita - The Frog Princess"
Recess Panoramic
More proof that 4th grade has the best recess! Football, tether ball, 4 square, gaga, monkey bars, Frisbee, hula hoops, and jump ropes... 4th grade knows how to have fun!
Reading Buddies
Every Friday we read to our kindergarten buddies in
Ms. Maldanaldo's class. The kids are great role models!
