Hello Class and welcome to fourth grade!

Your Teacher, Ms. Andersen

Teaching is my dream job.  I feel fortunate to have a job I love. 

I get excited about sharing knowledge, good books, historical events, and

a love of learning with the students who are “mine” for one short school year.

I believe school should be a place where students feel safe, loved, and where the flame of curiosity and wonder is kindled.

"Learn something 

new today!"
