Welcome to Fourth Grade

August 2023

Hello!  Thank you for visiting my blog!  I am so excited to meet you.  We are in for an exciting year of trying new things and learning a lot together!  I have been getting the classroom ready for the days when you are in school.  Please scroll through the pictures to get an idea of what to expect as you begin 4th grade.

This poster explains the type of mindset we will work towards in your classroom.  

These pictures showcase some of our classroom library.  We will be reading a lot this year, both in school and at home.

The Reading Wall of Fame is a place of honor in our classroom.  Be sure to bring a chapter book to school on the first day so you can start working your way towards this goal!

You will sit in groups.  Sometimes you will choose your seat, other times I will assign your seat.

We have a Maker Space in our classroom.  Do you like to create things?  You can do that here!

We are a class that CARES.  You will learn about what this acronym means on the first day of school.

You will be in charge of various jobs in our classroom.  Some jobs you have to apply for.  What jobs do you like to do?

We have various seating options in our classroom.  You might have a chance to sit on a large ball, use a standing desk or sit in this old fashioned desk.  

Our Science Center has a lot of measurement tools that you will use almost daily.

These are spaces where you will see me a lot...my desk and my reading corner.  We will meet often to discuss your learning goals and progress.

This is what I look like!

Your first homework assignment is to view these pictures and then, with your parent's permission, leave a comment on this post.  You can write a question you have about fourth grade.  You can also leave a sentence describing what you are looking forward to. You should only use your first name whenever you leave a comment on the internet.  Please complete this assignment by September 6, 2023.
