We are excited to welcome your child to fourth grade! This year promises to be full of new discoveries, deeper learning, and growing independence. Our focus will be on building critical thinking skills, enhancing reading comprehension, and exploring engaging topics in math, science, and social studies.

Our classroom is a place where curiosity is encouraged, creativity flourishes, and every student is supported in reaching their personal best. We strive to foster a welcoming environment where students feel confident to ask questions and take on challenges.

Communication with families is very important to us—please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or want to share insights about your child on Class Dojo.

Let’s work together to make this a fantastic and rewarding year!
