Welcome to Fourth Grade!

Classroom discussion doesn’t have to stop just because the bell rings. This site is devoted to student questions and concerns about what we are learning in fourth grade. I look forward to reading and responding to comments related to what we are studying in class. I respect the privacy of my students and will not comment on student progress or behavior. It is my expectation that all comments posted on this site will be appropriate and respectful towards the opinions of others.

What better way to get to know each other than by reading and sharing our thoughts about a great book. Click on the Summer Of Riley page on the right side of the screen. I invite you to come and share your questions, predictions, and connections as you read the book. Beginning the week of July 9, everyone is encouraged to post a comment or read a review on this site about the reading. We will divide the reading into six weeks. I will post the page numbers to read each week. I highly encourage you to draw pictures of your favorite part of each week’s reading using Microsoft Paint and upload them along with your comments (Save them as a JPEG file.)

NOTE: DO NOT USE YOUR LAST NAME IN YOUR COMMENTS. FIRST NAMES ONLY.
