VW 4th Grade Blog 2023-2024

Good Afternoon, What a week it was as the 4th graders put on a beautiful concert and received their NDLC diplomas on Wednesday night. Followed that with an amazing sun filled day of walking to the library, and picnic at the park. A wide range of emotions filled the week from happiness to sadness, and I think a little bit of everything in between; which must be a good thing because then it means you were a part of something special, and that is what I think we have here at NDLC, something special. With the last couple of days approaching, if their is any questions or anything you have wonderings about please do not hesitate to reach out as I will help in any way I can. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and healthy Memorial Day Weekend!

Good Afternoon, It was so amazing to see the turnout at the 4th Graders Graphic Novel writing celebration. I can't say thank you enough for taking time out of your days to come in, and support the 4th graders as they beamed with pride putting their graphic novels on display for everyone. It was a reminder for me of how special a place NDLC is because of the families, students that us as teachers get the privilege to work alongside on this learning journey. I look forward to these last few weeks, and continuing to create more special moments for these 4th graders as they finish they elementary schooling careers here at NDLC. Lastly, I want to say Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms; I hope you all enjoy your weekends!
