I am so excited to begin this journey through 4th grade with you! The 2024-2025 school year is an exciting time for us all. Our explorations will channel us through our imaginations as we investigate, analyze, and create. What can 4th graders accomplish this year? The possibilities are endless!
In addition to being your child’s homeroom teacher, I am also the Grade 4 Language Arts/ Social Studies teacher, and Mrs. Ismail is the Grade 4 Math/Science teacher.
Warmly, Mrs. Yurman
