Welcome 4th Graders!
What's Up in 4th Grade?
Welcome Back!
I hope everyone had a wonderful vacation! I enjoyed spending time with my family and getting some much needed rest. I painted a room in my house, worked with my dog to try and teach him some manners, and I exercised a great deal. The big news is that Rascal is going to start going to school at PetsMart!
Now, we are back to school, and it is time to get ready for testing. We are definitely in crunch time, but I am so pleased with the learning that has taken place all year. Please continue to encourage your child to do his/her best all of the time just as they have since August. I don't want the children stressed and scared, but I do want them to take the test seriously.
We are working everyday to review terminology, test taking tips, and content. If you see something that your child is struggling with, please send me a note. If we haven't gotten to the content, please be patient. If we have done it, we need to go over it again.
