Fun in Fourth Grade
A Newsletter About Our Fantastic 4th Grade "Chastain-ians"
Hello, Families,
I'm very sentimental as I write our last newsletter in 4th grade. It has been a sincere privilege to be a part of your children's lives for a short time. Over the course of the year, we have laughed, learned and shared so much together. It is bittersweet as I send them on to 5th grade. It is wonderful to see them grow into more mature students, but yes, I'm very sad to say good-bye. Please come back and visit me! I love visits from former students and their families! Now, on to reminders for the final days of school...
Heartfelt Thanks and Shout-Outs!
The year may be almost over but several students continued to work hard to reach their million word goals! I want to recognize the reading efforts of Aiden H., Elias B. and Isaiah C. Well done, kiddos! So proud of you!
