----Rounding Third and heading for home...----
4th Grade:
June is approaching quickly and soon it will be time to wrap up another year. I am proud of all my students who worked
so hard on their achievement tests. I can truly tell you that every student tried very hard and gave their best.
Now it time to relax a bit.
During the last several weeks of school students will be busy with a variety of activities. Practicing for the Spring Concert,
decorating the building for Kite Day and fossil collecting at Caesar's Creek are just a few of the fun things we have planned
for the end of the year.
I look forward to seeing everyone at Kite Day.
