Letter To The 4th Grade 2022
Dear 4th Graders:
I wanted to take a minute and tell all of you how proud I am of you! This has been a tough year in a lot of ways, but you did it! I want you to know that you will do well in your life if you build upon the things we taught you this year, and I am not just talking about English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Here are a few of the other things you have learned from us:
1. Taking responsibility for your own actions is a huge step in growing up, and if you remember to do that, it will help keep you on the right path.
2. There are always consequences to actions. Good one when you choose wisely. Bad ones when you choose poorly.
3. Your words either heal and encourage or wound and discourage others. You get to choose, but don’t forget there are always consequences.
4. You don’t have to like everyone, but you do need to show respect. Respect your Parents, your Teachers, your Classmates, and all those in authority. That one thing will make the road ahead a lot less bumpy.
5. Being able to forgive one another is also so important because we all make mistakes, and everyone needs forgiveness at some point.
6. Listening is critical to learning. If you don’t remember to listen, you may miss the entire point of the lesson.
7. If you want to have friends, you have to be a friend yourself. Choose your friends wisely, as they will influence you either in a good way or a bad way.
8. You get to play after the work is done! As you grow up you will realize the value of hard work. It is not a punishment, but a blessing…and there are great rewards to hard work.
9. Believe in yourself. That takes the pressure off of what other people think of you. Not everyone will like you. Let’s face it, if you are being honest, there are people who just rub you wrong. So, if you know in your heart who you are, then you need to trust that when others say unkind things to you or about you. That will make it a lot easier to forgive them and move on.
10. Do the right thing even when others have done you wrong. If you can remember to do that it will calm many of the conflicts that you will face in the future. You will never go wrong by doing right.
Some of you will grow up to be Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Construction Workers, Plumbers, Salesmen, or maybe even the President of the United States. Much of that will depend on choices you make and relationships you establish. I pray that God direct your steps and bless you and your families in the years to come. You will always have a special place in my heart.
Love,
Mr. Dan
Superman
