WELCOME TO
4TH GRADE
2008-2009
“Oh the Places
4th Graders Will Go”
It is my philosophy that parents and teacher work together as a team, to help your child grow academically, spiritually, physically, and socially. In doing this, your child will excel to be the
“best they can be.”
This year students will be working on RESPONSIBILITY. Students in 4th grade will be expected to be responsible for themselves; their behavior and their homework. Your encouragement and support is necessary to help your child grow up to be a responsible child of God.
This is going to be a GREAT
Year traveling with Jesus!
