Girls and Boys,

Can you believe that summer is about over!  I hope you had a relaxing one and are ready for the school year to begin.  We have a lot of new things to learn this year and we’ll have a lot of fun doing it.  Two of my favorite things about fourth grade are all the great books we get to read and all of the fun math games that we play in order to learn our math concepts. We also have a great science unit to begin the year; we’ll be studying electricity using light bulbs and batteries.  
Speaking of summer, did you spend any time at the pool this summer? How about a family vacation or spending time with a relative like Grandma or Grandpa?  In the next week think about something you’d like to tell me about your summer, as we will talk about it on the first day of school.  If you’d rather you can send me a letter to the school telling me about yourself or your summer.
This summer I spent most of my time with my boys Landan and Carter, maybe we saw you at the pool.  We had a great time there!  We also went golfing and bike riding on a regular basis.  I spent a lot of time reading too, one of my favorite things to do!  My husband, Dave and I went to Georgia in July with friends and stayed on a huge boat. As a family we went to Adventureland and West Lake.  A fun filled summer for sure, so now I’m ready for another great school year!
 When you come to school on Monday can you make sure you have a free reading book with you.  If you don’t have one at home that you want to read then you could make a trip to the public library or I have a good selection in the classroom that you could choose from until we get to the library for check out.  
Also ask mom or dad if they have a blank checkbook register that you can use for our math checkbooks as we talked about on step up day.  If they don’t, I have a few left from last year so don’t worry. 
Remember your pencil is worth 500.00 in your checkbook if you bring it back to school.

Enjoy the rest of your break and I can’t wait to see you on Monday!  
Mrs. Hill
