Welcome to Fourth Grade! This website is intended for both students and parents to gain more information about our classroom and educational activities. Students can use it to study and play educational games online. Parents can use it to learn more about what their child is learning in school and to contact the teacher.
"Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself."

~William Haley
"Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants."
~John W. Gardner
"Education is the movement from darkness to light."
~Allan Bloom
"A child educated only at school is an uneducated child."
~George Santayana

Finally, this website is a resource for teachers who are interested in the resources I've posted or who hope to create their own class website.
