This is the last week in our first term. I am working on assessments to help me see the growth that each student has shown over the past five months. It is a very exciting time for me, as the growth that students do is always so encouraging.

I am looking forward to being able to sit down with each of you and share your child's growth at our Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please set aside time on Wednesday, February 2 between 5 and 8 in the evening to come to the school and visit our classroom. Your child's work will be here to look at. I will be here, eager to sit down and chat about their progress. And you can pick up their report card at that time.

We also welcomed a new student to our class last week, Trinity. She is quickly learning the routines of the fourth grade. I am very proud that the rest of the class has worked to make her feel welcome. What a great group of students!

Date to remember: Wednesday, January 19 - Math Test
