Dear Students and Families of Room 25,

My name is Mrs. Magidson and I will be your fourth grade teacher. The 2020 - 2021 school year is knocking at the door! I am very excited to welcome you to Fourth Grade! It's going to be a year different from all the years before. This year we start the year with distance learning. We will be meeting daily via zoom, google meet, google classroom, Seesaw, and other digital tools.

Although this year will begin differently, let me assure you many things will remain the same. I will be using the California State Learning Standards for fourth grade to guide all instruction. I have the expectation that every student will attempt, complete, and submit all assignments. I will be giving instruction at designated times. Additionally I will be meeting with small groups and available throughout the school day via email, google classroom, zoom, and/or phone.

It is an unusual time in history for schooling. We will be talking about this time in history for years to come. It is important to remember that staying motivated and on top of all school work should remain a priority. Many of you will attempt, complete and turn in every single distance learning assignment. You should be proud of yourselves and continue to strive for great success. Remember, when you're tired, bored, or discontent, reach down and pull yourself up, keep reaching for those stars. Staying motivated and continue to strive for excellence. This is a life lesson that will take you far! 

I want to thank all of the parents and each one of my students this year. We will learn many things about ourselves and what we are capable of. This will be a year of great adventure. To all my 4th graders Ms. Newton and Mr. Groves tell me you are set and ready for this year, let's make it a year to remember! I want to thank you in advance for just being you! As we begin this year learning about ourselves and others remember our classroom golden rule is kindness first!

Let's have a safe, healthy and wonderful school year. Here we come 2020 - 2021!

Love to all,

Mrs. Magidson
