Dearest fourth grade family and friends,
I hope every one has had a relaxing and enjoyable summer, I know I have. My family and I relaxed on the hot beach of Mexico where we enjoyed the culture, food, and each other. I have been very busy getting things ready to have a fantastic 2015-2016 school year. I am looking forward to meeting as many of you on August 19th, for Back to School Night and everyone on the first day of school, August 24th.
This year, as a 4th Grade we are hoping to incorporate the educational magazine Time for Kids into our weekly homework. Students will receive a weekly issue of the magazine that will be theirs to read, use to complete homework, and keep. To fund these materials for each student, the 4th grade has created a Donors Choose project, where friends and families can donate so these materials can make it into the hand of all of our students. If you are able to make a donation please follow the link below. Please use the promo code SPARK which will match any donation you make. We hope to get this project funded before school starts so we have the materials to use right away. Also, please pass this information along to any other 4th grade families or friends whom would be interested in donating.

Please contact me with any questions you may have as the school year begins. I am really looking forward to meeting all my new students and families.
