Dear Fourth Graders and Parents,
Welcome to fourth grade! I am so happy you are in my class this year at Smith Elementary School! I can’t wait to meet you!
I hope you are excited to begin fourth grade because this will be a fun, fabulous and fascinating year of learning! Throughout the year, we will strengthen and expand our skills as readers, writers and mathematical problem-solvers as we tackle new concepts and challenges in all academic areas. We will read, discuss and write about intriguing new topics to refine and improve our literacy skills. In social studies, we will explore the history of Texas, learn more about our government and study the regions of the United States. Get ready to stretch your marvelous math skills as we delve even more deeply into place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, estimation, geometry and more! Science investigations involving some new creatures, land and water, and electricity will light up your mind and imagination. These are just a few of the interesting and captivating experiences awaiting you in the year ahead!
Please remember to bring all of your supplies on the first day of school, Monday, August 25, 2014. This will help us get organized so we can dive right into learning. Most importantly, please remember to bring your enthusiasm for learning, a positive attitude, sense of humor, caring heart and willingness to work hard. With these qualities in place, we can accomplish fantastic feats in fourth grade! I can’t wait to get started!
Ms. Price
