Grades 4 Welcome Letter and Supply List

06/12/2026

Dear Fourth Grader and Families, 

First, we would like to welcome you to FOURTH grade!  Our names are James Gorski and Hannah Schubert. We will be your teachers this school year.  We are so excited to have you join us in Room 112 and 106.  This coming year will be exciting and busy.  Together we will explore and learn about many new things.  You will learn about the history and geography of our state, conduct interesting science experiments, participate in novel studies, and so much more.  In math, you will use all the skills you learned in third grade to dig deeper into place value, multiplication and division strategies, geometry, and fractions. 

To prepare for a successful year, it is important that you continue to practice your math facts over the summer.  Being fluent in your multiplication facts and knowing how to skip count will make math lessons much easier!  Along with practicing your math facts, we hope you will continue to enjoy books over the summer.  Challenge yourself to read from a variety of materials—graphic novels, chapter books, mysteries, magazines, recipes, and more! We will read lots in fourth grade! 

Attached to this letter is the supply list.  Please try to bring your supplies on the first day of school. 

Sincerely,  

Mr. Gorski and Mrs. Schubert
