WELCOME TO FOURTH GRADE! I am so happy to have each one of you as part of
our classroom. I hope you have all had a wonderful summer, and I look
forward to seeing you on the first day of school!
Partnership
I dreamed that I stood in a studio and
watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child's mind
and they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher: the tools she used were
books, music, and art;
One a parent with a guiding hand, and a gentle, loving heart.
Day after day the teacher toiled, with
touch that was deft and sure,
while the parent labored by her side
and polished and smoothed it o'er.
And when at last their task was done, they
were proud of what they had wrought,
For the things they had molded into the
child could neither be sold nor bought.
And each agreed they would have failed if they
had worked alone,
For behind the parent stood the school,
and behind the teacher-the home.
