4th Grade News
Hello Fourth Grade Families!
We have had a great week! My students wrote the most beautiful reasons why they love Vis as part of our Give Day activities and their reasons will melt your heart!
They included things like: there is a smile in every hallway, the teachers support us, we are loved, my friends are amazing! And of course, there was also the love of lunch, phy ed, and recess shared!
Thank you for sharing and entrusting your children with us; they are so loved!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Warmest Regards,
Amy

Literacy Centers
Literacy centers are structured, independent activities that give upper elementary students opportunities to practice reading, writing, vocabulary, and language skills in meaningful ways. They are used to reinforce classroom instruction and curriculum standards while allowing students to work at their own pace and apply skills they have learned during whole-group and small-group lessons. Through independent literacy centers, students can strengthen academic skills while also developing independence, responsibility, problem-solving, and confidence as learners.
