Dear Parents, I am Joanne Anderson, and I teach 4th grade at Breton Downs Elementary. This is my 28th 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 4th 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 janderso@egrps.org
