Anderson's Classroom

Dear Parents,

I am Joanne Anderson, and I teach 4^th grade at Breton Downs Elementary.  This is my 28^th year of teaching, and I look forward to working with your child this year.

This year your child will grow as a writer.  I believe writing is a process, not a product.  Your child will grapple with metaphor and meaning, voice and tone, and simply delve into the wonder of writing.  This year your child grow as a reader. I teach reading using novels.  Your child will actively participate in book discussions with the book we use in reading groups.  Your child will create a movie in their mind as they listen to an award winning novel during our daily read aloud time, and finally your child will enjoy reading a novel of their choice for independent reading. Your child will also experience Math, Spelling, Handwriting, and Technology during our busy day in 4^th grade. I will teach writing to all 4th grade students, Mrs. Karsten will teach Social Studies, and Mrs. Radecki will teach Science. 

I am the proud mother of two daughters, Lauren and Emily.  I enjoy golfing, running, reading, and knitting.  My day is not complete unless I play a daily game of Solitaire, conquer at least one Sudoku puzzle, read the New York Times, and play our grand piano enjoying quiet solitude and the joy of creating music.

I know this will be a wonderful year filled with the excitement of learning and the wonder of new knowledge.

Regards,

Joanne Anderson
