Dear Parents: As the year draws to a closeI must say I am so proud of all we have accomplished.  We made it through three state tests and  a very extensive fourth grade curriculum.  Thank you for all your hard work and perserverence.  We certainly learned the many of THAT word this year.  Remember all the things we learned this year...in our books and in our hearts.  Have a wonderful summer and thank you for everything.   To the "new" fourth graders I would like to say I am looking forward to meeting you.  Fourth grade is a big change and a great deal of work, but we always manage to have fun, too.  You will move to the "east wing" where more is expected of you but I will be right beside you to help you adjust.  We will have an exciting year together.  So have a great summer and I will see you in September.  Below you will find a summer reading list and supply list.                                                                         With love,                                                                         Mrs. Dizinno 4th Grade Supply List 5 Marble Notebooks 5  2-Pocket folders 2 Packages of loose leaf 1 Package of multi-colored construction paper 1 Webster's or Random House Dictionary 1 Package of SHARPENED pencils with a pencil pouch 3 erasable pens (black or blue) 3 Red Pens 1 12 inch rules (metric and standard) 1 yellow highlighter 1 small pencil case for desk 1 small stapler 1 box of tissues 1 roll of paper towels 1 box of baby wipes An Art Box to contain (Make sure box can fit in lockers or they will have to be taken home daily) 1 box colored crayons 1 box colored pencils 1 box magic markers one pair of scissors one Elmer's glue stick one Elmer's white liquid glue ***NO BINDERS PLEASE as there is no room.
