Happy New Year to the most wonderful group of fourth graders! As we prepare to begin 2012 together in our classroom, I wanted to take a minute tell you all how fortunate I feel to have such a GREAT group of young people and families to work with in this new year. I have been so impressed with your reading, writing, and math abilities, and I been delighted with your creativity and eagerness to learn during our first semester together. I have enjoyed watching you get excited about your learning and taking part in your enthusiasm during fun activities like our author's chair and our Thanksgiving play. What a talented bunch of you people you all are!!! I am looking forward to a productive, fun, and energetic new year. I can't wait to see you all very soon!
