Dear 4JR Students,
Hello future students and welcome to the wonderful world of fourth grade! I hope that you are having a terrific summer, filled with fun and adventure. I am so excited to meet you and to be your teacher! We will be working together to grow, explore, and become the best learners that we can be. I know that we are going to have an amazing year together!
I have been having a marvelous summer with my husband, Mark, and our dog, Madeira, at our home in York, Maine. I love summertime not only because I absolutely love going to the beach, but also because I have so much time to READ! I have read so many amazing books and I have also found a lot of terrific books for our classroom library; I am excited to share them with you!
One of the best things about summer is how much time I get to spend with Madeira. She is a ten-year-old chocolate lab who is full of energy and personality. We have been taking long walks every day and since Madeira loves to swim, we have also been spending a lot of time in the water. However, I had to teach Madeira that lobster buoys are not toys and she can’t retrieve them!
I have included a supply list for the upcoming year. If you have any questions about anything on the list or you are not sure exactly what to buy, please feel free to ask me during the first week of school.
Enjoy the rest of your summer. I can’t wait to see you on Wednesday, August 27th!
Sincerely,
Ms. Rogers
