2008/2009 will be my second year at Mt. Ulla, and looking forward to spending it with another 4th grade. 

 Being in fourth grade has some major benefits!!!  We will be learning about Black Beard, Hurricanes that break the coast of the Outer Banks, and VIsit the land where many Union soldiers died during the Civil War. 

 We will be learning about numbers, numbers, and more numbers!!!  You will learn how to officially split a pizza with friends, find the probability of pulling a blue m&m out of a bag, and learn how patterns work

 We will also be learning about foods and what they do for your body, how electricity works, and what causes magnets to pull and stick to objects
