A Letter to New Students and Parents!!!
Welcome to room 202 and the Fourth Grade! I am very excited to meet every family with whom I will be working this year. I believe that a strong link between teacher and family is a factor for student success. Feel free to email to arrange a phone or face to face meeting. suzanne.burton@spps.org

Students in this classroom work very hard to improve their academics in all areas. We have daily homework in both math and reading, and we often have homework for geography as well. Students also are required to read at least 30 minutes a night of their AR book. The transition into the intermediate grades is difficult for many children. To help your child with the added responsibility, check in with them about their homework and learning using their daily planners.

Students and parents are welcome to visit this website frequently to see information about the curriculum, interactive games to practice skills, and to just see what's going on. At times, you may find student work and pictures that will make your family very proud.

Finally, students in this room are entering into a classroom that demands cooperation and kind participation. At the beginning of the year, we focus on developing interpersonal skills that will allow us to become a positive learning team.

Please feel free and welcome to visit this website frequently to see information about the curriculum, interactive games to practice skills, and to just see what's going on. At times, you may find student work and pictures that will make your family very proud.

I am very excited to meet everyone of you and get started on our year of learning!!!

Your New Teacher,

Suzanne Burton
