Fourth Grade Memories

Dear 4th Graders,

This has been a wonderful year for me (and I hope you can say the same!).  It has been an utter joy and blessing to come to school every afternoon and be with you.  I appreciated your willingness to work hard, and I loved the times we could sit back and have fun and joke together.  You all are such wonderful examples of Christians who honor God in your lives daily!

We have so many memories from this year!  Things like the Lansing trip (cancelled by a blizzard and then rescheduled, thankfully!), Apple Pie, the auction, Fred, Shy Guy and Spidy (R.I.P.), blogging, presenting Bible stories in iMovie, Literacy Centers, Pizza party for meeting the reading goal, doing puzzles, Lumberjack Day, Market Day, and the list goes on!

What can you add to the list?  What are your best/favorite memories of 4th grade?  Did you enjoy a certain activity?  Did something funny happen to/with a friend?  Leave a comment with your memories...

Remember, God blesses those who are faithful to Him (as we learned through our Old Testament stories of the Kings).  Stay true to God, trust Him, and we'll have a great class reunion in heaven together some day!

Blessings,
Mrs. VanderZwaag
