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)

Veterans' Day Wall


As many of you know, the fourth graders have been learning why we take time off school to honor the men and women who have served in one of the military branches. We have created our own Veterans' Wall with the name of friends and family members who have served, or are currently serving, our country in the military.

If you would like to add a name to the wall, you may press the "comment" link below and tell me the name, what branch of the military the person served (serves) in, and if he or she was part of a war. We have people on our wall from WWII through the Iraq war and some who are currently serving in the military. We will have the wall up through the month of November and you are more than welcome to come in and see it for yourself. It is located next to room 306.
