Welcome 4th Graders!

Mrs. Sprague is so excited to meet you and have you in my class. I have planned a great deal to meet the educational goals for 4th grade, and I hope you enjoy the learning opportunities this year! I am eager to get started and we have a fun-filled year ahead.  We will be reading and writing a lot!  We will also become explorers in Social Studies and do hands-on learning in science.

The 4th grade curriculum covers many exciting new topics and this year will be filled with many meaningful learning experiences. I am passionate about learning and feel that students can learn best when their lessons are relevant and useful. I plan on providing your child with many memorable educational experiences and hands-on activities to help facilitate their learning in a practical way.

I have very high expectations for my 4th grade students, and I am confident we can meet these expectations with teamwork and communication. A child’s quality education needs support and hard work from the teacher, parent, and student; Let’s work together to reach our maximum potential this year!

The First day of school is Wednesday, September 2. Open House will be on September 16th from 5:00 to 7:00. A PTO meeting will follow, and the members of the organization are very eager to get more people involved. We hope to see you there!

Picture Day is on October 14th.
