Dear Parents and Students of Grade 4,

It was wonderful to connect with so many parents over the phone this past week, and I look forward to being able to speak with each student this coming Monday.

Note to Parents : 
Please remember to reach out to me with any questions or concerns regarding this week’s assignments. I will be putting the students’ handwork, recorders and Main Lesson Books in the tote designated for grade 4 that is located by the apple tree. Please pick these items up as you are able to. Since school will be closed for another few weeks, at least, the students might as well have their main lesson books and recorders to continue to work with. Please also continue to send pictures to me of your child’s finished work. It is a joy to see it and to be able to share in their accomplishments when I speak with them on the phone.
