    TO OUR FABULOUS FOURTH GRADE LEARNERS
      
    During this school year, our expectation is for each of you to grow as lifelong learners.
     
     
    OUR FOURTH GRADE CURRICULAR FOCUS AREAS
     
    In Mathematics, students have been focusing on place value to kick off the year.
     
    In Language Arts, students have been focusing on building our reading and writing community, as we begin to move through our Collaborative Classroom unit this fall.
     
     
     
    In addition, in Social Studies, we have begun our school year with a focus on the structure of our nation's government and how it works.
     
    In Science, we will begin our focus on life science during the first trimeter.

    A little bit about Ms. Fawcett includes that I am in my 25th year of teaching in a public school. Prior to arriving at AMS, I was a teacher in Bridgewater-Raritan and also in Mendham Township.  As for my educational background, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master's in Education in Learning Technologies.  
     
    From a personal standpoint, I am the mother of a 16-year-old son, and I reside with my family (including our yellow Lab "Lexi" in Readington Township).  During my spare time, I enjoy running, among other hobbies.  I have completed 26 full marathons, and several half marathons.  I also enjoy weight training, yoga, biking, skiing, hiking, the beach, going to baseball games, and reading.
     
     
    Among our classroom code of ethics, our hope is that we grow together as a classroom community by respecting ourselves, respecting others and the environment.  As a team, our goal is that we strive for constant self-improvement!
     
    One favorite quotation is by former USA Track & Field Medal Winner Steve Prefontaine: "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift!" Let us always give our BEST!
     
    We are confident that all of our students will strive to raise the bar, become laser beam focused, and maintain that crystal clear vision for improvement and growth during the fourth grade year!
     
    All of best,
     
    Ms. Tracey Fawcett, M.Ed.
    Miss Tina Attanasio
