Dear Fourth Grade Teacher,
I heard that fourth grade is very fun. My favorite subjects are library, science, and social studies. I hope I do a lot of these subjects in fourth grade. I like Colonial Day. I hope I get the colony of Connecticut. I am a little worried about the math. I also hope the WRAPs will be more interesting. I hope fourth grade is fun. I also hope I Iearn a lot.

Dear fourth grade teacher,

I think fourth grade is going to be great! I know there are going to be many fun projects. One of them is colonial day. Our class looked at all the projects, and I thought they were amazing! It seems like it took a pretty long time to make those projects. The year is probably going to fly by because third grade seems like it is only 1/3 of second grade. If you want to know my favorite subjects here are they: art, PE, music, reading time and of course recess. I like art because you get to paint pictures and draw. I like P.E. and recess because you get to be active. You also play many fun games. I like reading and music because during reading time you get to relax and read books. In music you can sing songs and play on the recorder. Fourth grade is going to be great!

Sincerely,
Felix

P.S I'm a little worried.

Dear Forth Grade Teacher,


I've heard that fourth grade teachers are really,really nice and kind. I've also heard that it is really fun. My favorite subjects are math, science, and writing. I also love to run and to excercise. I also play softball and tennis. I really hope we have lots of math. I also hope we have wordly wise. I hope I'm a good student. See you soon.


Sincerely,
Savanna



PS. I can't wait

Dear Second graders,

Third grade is very different from second grade. We start cursive in the 2nd part of third grade. We also learn our multiplication tables. In Mrs. Drexler's class we made a website that raises money for the people in Darfur. What I thought the most difficult thing was playing the recorder. The easiest thing was learning multiplaction. My favorite part of third grade was the explorer research. A little peice of advice is to know your mutiplication and be a good writer.




Sincerely,
Savanna

ps. you'll love it.

Dear Second Graders,

Third grade is a very interesting and fun grade. You do many big projects in the third grade. The year seems like it just flies by; it feels like only a couple of months. There were some difficult parts though, the ERB testing and math tests. The third grade isn't all that hard because some tests are pretty easy. All you have to do is study. This year is also the first year of band class. In band class you learn about music and play many instruments. Band class is similar to music class. You get to play a lot of instruments. Third grade is also the first year of real Presidential Fitness testing. When you come to the third grade for the first time you might feel a little bit nervous but the year is going to be great! You will learn many things including cursive. For the second half of the year you're actually going to have to write in cursive all the time but that's easy if you know how to write in cursive. Third grade is going to be fun!

Sincerely,
Felix

Dear Second Grader,
Third grade is great and you will love it! We did a project on Darfur, a Native American research project, and many other things. The most difficult part was the WRAP, a two day long writing test. Math tests can be difficult too. The easiest parts were social studies and Wordly Wise. My favorite part was the Darfur project. The Native American project was fun too. My tribe was the Powhatan. You will love third grade!!!!!!!!!

Coach Hutton is a very special teacher. She's very athletic. Coach Hutton has a great, great sense of humor. She almost never yells. She's always calm and helpful. Coach Hutton is always, I mean always happy. Sometimes she tells a joke wrong but it will still be funny . She's always very encouraging. She's a great teacher.

Mrs. Savitsky was a very special teacher. She was not too strict. She didn't give much homework, and sometimes she didn't even give any homework. Mrs. Savitsky was a kind, nice, loving, clever, and a special teacher in many ways. She didn't just teach regular things like social studies and math, Mrs. Savitsky taught us French, friendliness, and when there was a holiday she would talk aboutit. Mrs. Savitsky also did many projects with us. If someone didn't understand something, she would explain the subject better. Mrs. Savitsky was one of my favorite teachers. I also had many other very, very special teachers. Two of those were Mrs. Owen and Mrs. Drexler.

Mrs. Counts is a very special teacher. She has a good sense of humor. She is also fun and kind. Mrs. Counts was my 2nd grade teacher. We did a lot of things I like, including social studies projects. My country she assigned me was Thailand. Mrs.Counts is Irish. Her class studied the Continent of Asia. She was a very, very, very, very great teacher.

Earth Day is a holiday when we celebrate and learn about our Earth. Earth Day is important because people are destroying our planet. Making a city out of trash is a fun thing to do. Bottle caps can be roofs. Candy wrappers can be walls. Put your city on a block of wood. If you want to help, practice the three C's. That means conserve, clean up, and chime in. Planting trees also helps. We are doing this to help save energy. But nuclear power and solar power are renewable sources of energy. Wind energy is renewable too. What are you doing this Earth Day?

Earth Day is a day to learn about our planet, Earth. Earth Day was first made in 1970 by Senator Nelson. The first Earth Day was just in the U.S. It did make people start thinking about how to help stop these bad things like pollution but not for long. People went back to their old, bad, habits. Then, so people wouldn't forget, in 1990, Earth day was made to be every year but problems like pollution are still getting worse because of bigger populations and other things. Bigger populations means more waste, more energy demand, and more cars. All those things mean more pollution. Now that the population is growing, we could use more nuclear energy because nuclear power plants make a lot more energy for the bigger populations. People don't use much nuclear power because there is threat of a melt down. We just have to keep all the radiation in the plant. That is one of the ways we can stop pollution. The other way is the three Cs:conserve; clean up; chime in. To conserve is to recycle and not waste. To clean up is to pick up waste and not just your waste; you can pick up somebody elses. Chime in is to spread the word about bad causes like Global Warming and littering. All of us can make a difference!

Earth Day is a very important day because it is a day set aside for people to help clean up the Earth. Factories pollute the Earth with smoke. Harmful gases are very bad for your heart and your lungs. Don't throw out electronic things because mercury is in it and if the fish eats it and you eat the fish you'll get mercury in you and it won't come out. Saving energy and recycling are great ways to help the Earth. Planting flowers is great for the environment. Spreading the word is good, too.

The future is going to have many surprises and many new inventions. Some of those inventions might be new cars and planes. Probably, cars will run on hybrid energy or some kind of other energy source that will help stop global warming and other problems. Planes pollute the air a lot, so we should start working on a different kind of plane. More trains might run on electricity. Instead of buses there might be monorails or subway trains. There is going to be a new kind of spaceship. This spaceship can travel far distances like Mars. The future is going to be a very interesting place!

My dream robot is very cool. It is used for security. It is circular and about four inches in diameter. My robot is called Safebot. Safebot runs on mini-tracks that are hidden under the body. It has a mini video camera also in the body. The camera takes a video of what happens while you are fishing, going to the office, or any other thing away from home. When you come home, you watch the video to see if the cleaner has misplaced something, the pet has gotten into trouble, or if someone broke in. People can buy Safebot, but it is very expensive. It is sold for $480,000.09! Plus there are only three of them, and one I get for free. Safebot is security of the future!

Nature is so beautiful,
The sun, the wind, and the fresh air,
are only three of the amazing things that nature gives us.
Daisies, Pansies, and Sunflowers are beautiful smelling flowers.
Beautiful trees are also a great things to see in nature.
Strawberries, blueberries, and raseberries are very juicy.
I love nature.
Do you?
