Last Day

Today is our last day of school.  We will take some time to look back on the year and share our "A to Z of Fourth Grade Memories".  Enjoy a relaxing summer.  Remember to stop down and say hello next year!
Your fourth grade teachers,
Mrs. Dowd and Ms. Mazzeo

Move-Up Day

Today our fourth graders had a chance to get a sneak peek of fifth grade. 

 First, they met up with a fifth grade buddy in the hallway.

Then they had a chance to practice opening up a locker.

 They visited Mrs. Lurz classroom and learned about their summer reading packet.

They visited Mrs. Kimball and found out about the summer math requirements.

 Once the kids were back downstairs in fourth grade, they seemed much more confident about going 'upstairs' to fifth grade.

Last Week of School

Just a quick reminder that although the weather feels like summer, we are still in school until June 15th.  The kids are still learning new information and we are still teaching :)   We don't want the kids to fall behind this late in the year, so please check their agenda books nightly to see what homework needs to be completed.  Thanks for all your cooperation and support!
