From Grade 4 - Mrs. Taylor

My, oh my, oh my!  Can it be? Spring! Already!

Where did winter go?  We are so busy in fourth grade, we didn't even realize the crocuses are blooming, the robins are twittering and the Easter Bunny has called all his helpers into action.

Well, the American colonies have won the Revolutionary War and the young New York State is building its future.  Setting up a new government must have been extremely difficult.  Getting everybody to agree on issues was a challenge then, and it seems to be just as challenging today.  As we continue our study of New York State history we will discover the expansion of our state and country.  Exciting times are awaiting in Social Studies.

In Language Arts we are writing, writing, writing.  Doing our journal entries is not a difficult as it was six months ago.  In fact, I have heard it said that writing journal entries is fun.  Can you imagine that? It's true.  Our imaginations are full of wonderful, exciting things to write about.  It is a pleasure to work with such delightful, ambitious students.  No only do they enjoy writing, but they love to read.  They even ask to have FRT (free reading time.)  Boy am I a lucky teacher, students that like to read and write!  It just doesn't get any better....Fourth Grade is Awesome!!!!!
