Welcome to 4B! The purpose of this newsletter is to keep you informed as to

what is going on in our classroom on a monthly basis. We are off to a great
start! The students are working very hard and settling into our routine.
Thanks for working with your child at home to make sure he/she is prepared
for class as that makes a huge difference.
