Welcome to a "puzzling" new year!

The Third/Fourth Grade class is embarking on an adventure this year as we are "piecing the puzzle together" at RIA.  As we learn each day, we get pieces of the greater puzzle of knowledge and try to see how they all connect to one another.  Math connects to science; reading connects to math. Learning is about making the connections.

Each member of our class is a valuable piece of our classroom puzzle because all of our life experiences until now and those we will have at school (and outside of school) will add depth and color to the unique picture we are.  

Third and Fourth Grade will be having a great year!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Miss Langshaw and Miss Harris wish all the students and their families a very relaxing 4-day weekend! We look forward to hearing stories of all of the exciting adventures you had!
