4th Grade

Sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier, because I was either doing schoolwork, or I was at basketball practice. So far 4th grade is so fun! We get to switch to go to math class, science, and social studies. Your 4th grade teacher will teach you homeroom, and language arts. I have Mrs.Ambrosia, my social studies teacher. My math teacher is Mrs.Swanson, and my science teacher is Mrs.Tzolakis. (za-la-kis) So far the best part of fourth grade is my teacher and helping  people as much as I can. I hope all you third graders enjoy 4th grade next year!
