Hi,
Congratulations to you for completing fourth grade! All of the children worked hard, and we learned a lot from each other. We enjoyed having pen pals with our friends at The Court at Round Rock, learning about Texas history, and reading books about civil rights, homelessness, WWII, Egypt, and many more topics. We wrote letters for Annie and letters for children in Honduras. We wrote stories, compositions, poems, and comic books. We wrote for Rising Star, Red Ribbon Week, and Reflections.We went to the Bob Bullock Museum and Laguna Gloria Art Museum. We collected toys, books, and flip flops for people in need from around the world. We learned the importance of respecting ourselves and each other and treating all with kindness.
It was an amazing year and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to spend it with these wonderful fourth graders. (Now fifth graders!)
Have a great summer. Enjoy time with your family and friends. Read a lot, write a lot, think deeply and creatively, make observations, and learn something new everyday. I look forward to hearing about your adventures and discoveries.
Love,
Mrs. Bartholomew
