Welcome to 4th Grade

Hello and welcome. This is my first post of the year and I am writing it as your children are enjoying there first Art class of the year. This blog will be used as a communication tool between home and school. Not only will I relay important news and notes, but I will also be using it as a teaching tool. Throughout the year, I will post various video clips to either enhance or reinforce the teaching I have done in school that day. These helpful tutorials serve a dual purpose. They give the students some reteaching with regard to the skills and they also give you, the parents, a better of understanding of my teaching methodologies. The year is off to a great start and I look forward to it getting better and better. I am also excited about meeting with you all next Tuesday night at the 4th grade parent meeting. Please check the blog often for news, updates, tutorials, pictures, and more. Take care and have a great day.
