I can't believe the end of the year is here. It really has gone by so quickly. I want to thank all of you for your positive support throughout the year. It has been a pleasure working with you and and your children. I know that they are all ready for 5th grade. Don't forget to check out the District website for ideas of educational sites and reading lists to enjoy over the summer.
Remember to keep practicing your division and multiplication facts. It will make for an easier transition into fifth grade math.
