4th Grade Summary

Linda has just blossomed this year. I'm so proud of her. Her teacher is excellent and was voted teacher of the year in Oceanside last year. I love to hear all of the new vocabulary Linda uses now. Her writing has also really developed this year and she enjoys it. When asked to write at least one paragraph she'll usually go on to write three or four. She does really well at math too but it's not her favorite subject.
Being the vice president at school has just changed everything for her. People who knew Linda were very surprised she ran for election because she was very shy. After her win she is so confident. She stands in front of the entire school every morning and is as confident as can be. It's helped her become more sure of herself and a lot of kids know her now. She loves being involved in the school events whether it's selling tickets or working at the student store.
Linda has participated in Green Team this year which is a recycling program. She's enjoyed it. She also had the chance to do an after school tennis program. She has stuck with it and really loves to play.
Also, her speech articulation has really developed this year. It's really rare now that I have to correct a word she says. The 'or' is the only combo she occasionally misses. Just the other day someone commented to me on how grown up Linda sounds now. It's true.
We're really looking forward to 5th grade next year.
