Fourth Grade
Dear departing fourth grade students and families,
What a year it has been! We started the year by looking at each other in our Google Classroom “boxes.” I had fun pretending that we were at Hogwarts when you disappeared from your box. I was really proud of your focus and effort (most of the time!), however it was a relief to finally get back into the classroom. I didn’t realize how much I took for teaching kids in person for granted. The day all of us were together in the classroom for the first time was a day to remember. The experience was definitely a challenge for all of us, but I know it will be a year none of us will ever forget.
Thank you for being with me through this crazy year. I had a lot of fun with you. Thank you for laughing at all of my jokes, even the really silly ones. Thank you for playing along with all of my crazy math stories. You made teaching and learning math so much fun.
I enjoyed learning about the Oregon Trail with you. It was fun reading Bound for Oregon, and then Orphaned on the Oregon Trail. As I reread this paragraph I realize how crazy it sounds to say I enjoyed reading about children who were orphaned not once, but twice…
Doing Mystery Science with you was a highlight, even though most of the time we weren’t in the same room. I could feel your enthusiasm through your comments in our Google Classroom. It was even better when you could do it in the classroom.
Book group meetings were another new experience. It took a little while for you to get used to talking in the Classroom Meet chat, but you did. You even got to a place where you could carry the whole book talk by yourselves. I became an observer.
Have a wonderful summer vacation. Take time to just right read a book with words every day. See if you can squeeze in some math work on Freckle.
Don’t forget to say hi to me as you wander past my room from the fifth grade!
Don’t forget to put your letter to your future self some place safe so you can find it when you are old and gray, like me! (I can hear some of you saying “You’re not that old Mrs. Robinson!”)
I will miss you!
Mrs. Robinson
