Wow, this first day went great!  It flew by so fast. I hope each student had a good 1st day in Fourth Grade.  Please take the time to look in the Student Handbook section in their Daily Planners. It contains some very important information. There is a page for parents and students to read and sign.  That was the only homework assignment for tonight!

I can’t wait to meet each new student!  I hope you can come to “Meet the Teacher” Thursday, August 23 from 4:30 – 5:30.  Look for Room 224 and bring your school supplies.  Our first day of class will be Monday, August 27.  Come to the gym at 7:45, and I’ll be there to greet you.  See you in the 4th grade Jungle!
