Happy Back-to-School!

Enjoy the fourth grade. It was my favorite year! Think of how much you are going to learn! You will soon notice that you are getting smarter every day! That should be your goal-to grow smarter each day. Think of ways to get smarter. What habits do you need?

• Do yo think getting enough sleep and eating healthier will help? 
• What do you think about drinking more water instead of soda? 
• What habits will you need in the classroom? 
• Will you need to listen and pay attention? 
• Will you need to do your work in class and at home? 
• Will participating in class and coming to school prepared help you? 
• Will placing your home learning and agenda in your book bag at night keep you from forgetting them in the morning? 
• What other ideas do you have that will help with school success? 

Happy 130th Birthday, Statue of Liberty!
