Greetings from the Fourth Grade!
In Mrs. Sanders’ and Mrs. Vetter’s classes the students are only two years away from Middle School. They spend their days working hard at learning new things and developing good study habits, while at the same time, putting great effort into being good citizens! WOW, 4th grade is amazing!
Here’s what some of our students had to say about what they’ve enjoyed so far in fourth grade this year and what they hope to accomplish by the end of the year:
“I enjoy writing and learning new things in Language Arts!”
“I hope to get straight A’s on one of my next report cards!”
“I have enjoyed doing the Sprints in our 4th grade Math program!”
“I would like to accomplish reading 26 books by the end of 4th grade!”
“I loved learning about the Native Americans in Social Studies!”
“I hope we get to learn about volcanoes!”
“I enjoy having D.E.A.R. time because I’ve read many new books!”
“I hope to become an excellent Math student!”
“I enjoy playing the Sparkle Spelling Game each week!”
“By the end of 4th grade, I hope to be able to read every music note!”
“I enjoy having our Science and Social Studies Fridays!”
“I want to get the best grades possible by the end of 4th grade!”
“I always enjoy learning about the history of New York State!”
The year is flying by but each day is full of new experiences that enrich our students. We always take time to praise God and we turn to Him for guidance in our studies. We have already accomplished so much and there is so much more to come. Being in 4th grade at Trinity Lutheran School is AWESOME!
FEBRUARY LUNCH MENUS went home last Friday and are due this Friday, January 24. Once again, we are returning to the pre-January menu system where students will pay for their lunches the days they have pre-ordered. Please be careful in your pre-ordered choices so that our caterer has an accurate count for her preparations. Remember also, parents must sign the menus!
