Our Fondest Memories of Fourth Grade…

Dr. Armacost:  What a year !! Could you ever have imagined a more surprising school year than what we have experienced?  Coming to CVIS presents new challenges, new opportunities and new experiences and all of you have handled these situations in an amazing manner. We are so excited to have you at CVIS for two more years and know that you will continue to do great things throughout your time at Conewago Valley.  Always remember to be kind to one another as you never know when a nice word can make a difference to another person. Enjoy your summer and we look forward to the time we can all be together at CVIS again.

Mrs. Long:   This year was AMAZING all because of each and every one of you!  As I reflect on the school year, my thoughts immediately take me back to the Orientation night and the first day of school.  Many of you walked hesitantly into my classroom, not knowing what to expect of 4th grade at CVIS.  Instantly, I knew that we had an incredible group of kiddos who were kind, caring and eager to learn!

This school year surely did not end the way we all thought it would, but it will be our memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.  Our fall was filled with a cool field trip to Codorus and many holiday activities.  Our Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti remained our theme throughout the school year.  I loved handing out a variety of shapes that displayed acts of kindness on our Kindness Tree.

You ALL mean the world to me!  I am so proud to have been your ELA teacher.  I have watched you grow physically, emotionally, socially and academically this school year.  I saw you take on the challenge of at home learning and give it your best effort each and every day.  The Living Museum is always the end of the year highlight.  Again, you took on the challenge of using your creativity to create your speech and video while at home.  I am ‘over the moon’ PROUD of you!

Kiddos, always stay true to yourself, spread Kindness like Confetti, and give your best in all that you do.  I will miss you all terribly.  Sending virtual HUGS to you.  Have an incredible summer!

Mrs. Buckley:

One of my favorite memories was the field trip to Codorus.  But more than that, my favorite memories are just the times I spent with you.  Seeing your smiling faces truly made each day special.  I loved getting the chance to work in small groups with you and enjoyed getting to know you.

Each one of you is remarkable and special.  No matter where you are, or what you do, just know that if you are kind to others and always do your best, you will make a difference in this world. You have made a difference in mine. I wish you much  joy and success in your future.

Mrs. McMaster: Wow, did we ever have an AWESOME year together in fourth grade this

year!  This year will be forever a special memory for me.  We had a great fall field trip to Codorus, created a team blog and news crew, had SO much fun in “Innovation Station,” learned SO much in math class this year, and had super awesome science experiences with Mrs. Stone and Mrs. Byrd from Gettysburg College.

We had great holiday fun…Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day…  I could not have asked for a better group of students with whom to experience a pandemic and at home learning!  You have proven to be a group of hard working R-Ox Stars, everyday showing your determination and perseverance to make the best of the situation!

I am beyond proud of how you have handled being away from one another.  I surely would rather be with you every day for the entire year, and I LOVED teaching you in-person.  However, I am so proud of how you took at home learning online head on and didn’t back down!  Together, we did it!  What a great year it was!  Wishing you all a wonderful summer…H.A.G.S.!! 🙂

When we started the year in the fall, I told you that the days would go by very quickly. At the end of this week, you will be officially 5th graders!

I know this year was different than any other year–and it was definitely not what we had planned. I am proud of each of you for growing, learning, and becoming the wonderful young people you are–despite all of the changes and challenges you encountered! You might not realize it now, but you will always remember 4th grade and how the world became different overnight.

Thank you for being amazingly thoughtful, kind, and caring young people. I enjoyed visiting you in Mrs. McMaster and Mrs. Long’s classrooms. I am only sad that we didn’t get to say goodbye in person!

Stay true to yourselves. Every one of you is absolutely perfect in his or her own way!

Have a wonderful summer!
