Happy Fall Break...
Thank you for your wonderful response to conferences and our Fourth Grade Open House. Our students were amazing, and I was so proud of them. It was great watching them show and explain some of their fourth grade accomplishments. I am so fortunate to teach such a lively and intelligent group of children.
Spelling words will be posted next Monday after the pretest.
Have a great fall break. Take time to relax and spend quality family time. You are the best.
