Well, the first full week is under our belt, and I think it went pretty well. We began Just Read, which is a 20 minute nightly reading assignment. So far, everyone is keeping up with it. In class, we've been working on getting ready for the ISTEP test by reviewing. We also started to think about Indiana and what the land looks like. Next week, we'll start to get into what the land is made of and how it is formed. That includes a lot of hands-on experiences. It should be a lot of fun.
I'm also really looking forward to meeting everyone at Back to School Night. This year's format is a little different. I will have some time to talk with you about the expectations in our classroom and some of the specific events that will take place this year. There will also be some time for students to show off what they've done so far.
Please have a safe holiday weekend! See you soon.

Welcome to the Team!
It is time to get geared up for a new year of fun and learning! 4th grade promises to be a journey of adventure and excitement. We will read some fantastic books. You will improve your writing skills. In math, you'll be multiplying and dividing with ease. We also get to learn about the great state of Indiana and explore the world around us through social studies and science.
This blog will be important in our journey. It is the way that I will communicate about upcoming events and share what is taking place in the classroom. I invite both parents and students to check frequently for new posts. While you're reading, please ask questions or make comments by clicking on the comment button at the bottom of the post. If you do not have a Google ID, you can click on Name/URL. Then type in your name (no URL needed) and post your comment. Comments are sent to my e-mail before being shown on the blog.

If you have a question or concern that more individually relates to your child, please e-mail (there is a link in "My Profile") or call me.
I'm looking forward to the new school year. I hope you are, too. See you soon!
