Welcome to the 2019-2020 fourth grade school year!! I am so excited about working with you this year! We are going to have a wonderful year, and we will learn so much together. We will work closely as a team--you, your parents, and me. We will be studying and working on many new and exciting things. This year will be a transition for you to begin assuming more responsibility for your education and become a lifelong learner. My goal is to assist each of you to work harder than you ever imagined you could. You will question, create, wonder, imagine, and critique ideas. You will also learn the importance of being a responsible, sensitive, caring, and well-prepared citizen.
