Welcome back to another great year at Ford Elementary! We had a fantastic first day - we took a "Pop Quiz" on our teachers, interviewed and introduced a partner, and spent time getting to know our rules and routines. Some talking points for you and your child this week: ask them about the 25 books campaign, their goals for 4th grade, anything they're apprehensive about,their favorite special, Mustang Madness, and how it feels to be back! I hope you are as excited to get this year underway as I am. Whether it's studying weather, space, explorers, the early colonization of the United States, or long division - I know we will have a wonderful time growing and learning in 4th Grade! Writing across the content areas will be a big focus for us this year, both as preparation for next year's 5th grade writing assessment, as well as making our kids effective written communicators for life.
I appreciate all the support that Ford parents are known for, and hope we can work hand in hand to develop strong, creative, independent learners. If at any time you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at kristen.waddell@cobbk12.org, or my co-teacher at heather.fritts@cobbk12.org. Here's to the next 179 days of learning!
Welcome Back!
