GO 'FOURTH' AND LEARN
News from Mrs. Priebe's 4th grade class ...
10 DAYS AND COUNTING...
See the example paragraph written below by our fourth grader writers:
My hands were so sweaty I could barely hold the microphone in my hand. Butterflies were bouncing off the walls of my stomach, and my knees were shaking. As the announcer called my name, I watched the curtain slowly rise to reveal the hundreds of people in the audience. I was blinded by the brightness of a spotlight shining down on me. "You can do this," I whispered to myself.
