Welcome!

Dear Fourth Graders,

Welcome to fourth grade! Our classroom is all ready for the start of school—I can’t wait for you to see it! Even though it may seem sad that summer is coming to an end, we are going to have a terrific school year together! On the first day, I want to hear all about the fun things you did this summer. I just got back from a trip to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. While there, I visited with friends, went to the beach, biked around town, and ate pizza on the boardwalk. It was a long drive to get there (over 6 hours), so I am happy to be back home!

To prepare for each school day, please bring a backpack and a healthy snack. I will provide you with notebooks, folders, pencils, scissors, and everything else you will need to be a successful fourth grader!

In fourth grade, we will learn many new things together! In science, we will explore many different subjects, such as: electricity, motion and design, and the water cycle. In social studies, you will learn all about Connecticut’s government, and we even go on a field trip to our state capitol at the end of the year. And of course, let’s not forget, we will be doing lots of reading, writing, and math together, too!

We will have a snack in the morning and eat lunch at 12:25. Our specials are right before recess. Our special schedule is as follows:


 * A Day: P.E. **
 * B Day: Spanish **
 * C Day: Art **
 * D Day: Music **

Enjoy the last days of summer. I am looking forward to seeing you on August 30!

Sincerely,

Miss Larson
