Can you believe that the summer is over? If you are like me, you are probably feeling like it went faster than last year. I am already making a list of things I thought I would have finished over the summer that will now become winter weekend projects. Despite the sadness we may feel because we will have to start going to bed a little earlier, this year ahead is very exciting! As 4th graders, your children have many responsibilities. They will have a special responsibility to their class, their grade level, school, and the Lancaster Community. Students will have the opportunity to be in class with old friends and maybe some new faces. There is something so special about the beginning of a new school year for EVERYONE---for the kindergartners who say goodbye and are apart from their families for the greatest number of hours ever, for the parents who have an even harder time saying goodbye, for the school staff who have been preparing for the arrival of all these fabulous students, and for me because I have been anxiously awaiting and preparing for the the arrival of YOUR children. Whatever our age or how we fit in the equation, we will all go to bed tonight with a wonderful sense of excitement. A new beginning---and beginnings are everything!
I have many wonderful ideas for the year ahead. In my planning and teaching, I hope to create fun and excitement about the learning that will take place. I encourage you to share this experience of school with us by following our blog and faccebook page but even more importantly by talking with your 4th grader.
4th grade is a big deal! I am looking forward to assisting your child through all of their successes this year. During the year I invite you to stop in and see what is happening in our classroom. Feel free to visit or call often so that we are able to work together in shaping your child's future. I am so glad to have your child and am looking forward to being fabulous and fearless in fourth grade!
