“While we try to teach children all about life, children teach us what life is all about."
Our Classroom Mission
We the students of Mrs. O'Connell's and Mrs. Hamrick's fourth grade class will be setting a good example as a team. We will be respectful, responsible, and caring during the 2012-2013 school year. Our class will strive to advance to fifth grade and be prepared for our future.
As an effective teacher, my goal will be to motivate, challenge, and assist the students in my class in becoming engaged and self motivated learners. I look forward to a great year with you and your child as he or she grows.
