Dear Students,
Please keep in touch and tell me what you're up to, I would really enjoy hearing from you-- not just this year's 4th graders-- but all of the students I taught while at Mission Dolores.
Below is a list of some activities and ideas for learning and fun.
Many of these activities are free & they look pretty interesting to me!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bair
