In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

August 18, 2009

Dear Parents and Students:

Are you getting ready for school? Well, Mrs.Alto, Mrs. Woodley and I are doing our best to get our classrooms ready for you. We are busy putting up new displays on the walls, preparing fun activities in reading, writing, math, and setting up our grade books-yes, you have to get grades.


On August 25, all the teachers in the Wenatchee School District will be meeting at the High School for a day of planning and Learning. Later that night, the Lewis and Clark teachers will be in their classrooms ready to meet our new students and parents. The fourth grade teachers know it's going to be a wonderful year!


On August 26th, my daughter Lexi turns 17, all the Lewis and Clark teachers are meeting at the school first thing in the morning then driving to an obstacle course in Leavenworth. We will be supporting each other, and working as a team, to complete special activities. Can you imagine your teachers climbing ropes and swimming from trees? I don't know if that's what we're going to be doing, but I hope someone takes pictures,


On Wednesday, Sept. 2, it's the first day of school! I'm sooo excited and I hope you are too. I'll see you then.
