Week 1 & 2!

Our first week as Fourth Graders was spent getting to know the rules and procedures of the classroom. We also took many first week assessments and started our MEAP preparation. My favorite part of the week was getting to know your child! This class is full of fun kids with great personalities!

Now that it is week two, we are digging right into our normal schedule! I will be sending a spelling list home with your child this weekend. We won’t have our spelling test until the following Friday. However, I suggest using Saturday and Sunday as two extra study days! As I like to say, practice, practice, PRACTICE! J Your child will have spelling homework next week as well.

Fourth grade is such a big transitional year! I have been stressing the important of responsibility and independence.  

Andy questions? Contact me! My voicemail is now up and running. You can also e-mail me or send in a note!

Also, please make sure that your child shows you his or her Behavior/ Assignment sheet everyday so that you can initial it. THANKS so much! Here’s to a year of learning!

WELCOME TO 4TH GRADE!

Dear Families,


It is my pleasure to welcome you and your child to Fourth Grade! My name is Tara Seegert and I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year. Throughout the year, I hope to get to know both you and your child. Here is some information about myself and our classroom.

I have been working with children for the last seven years. Most recently, I worked as a Literacy Coach for Douglas Road Elementary. This is my first year as a classroom teacher and I am extremely excited that my dream has finally been achieved! I am very familiar with DRE and the excellent students here!

I reside in Petersburg, MI with my husband, Jimi. We have a 130 lb. German Shepherd named Duke. During the summer months, I enjoy camping, boating, working outside and walking Duke. I also enjoy READING and being a Sunday School teacher for four and five year olds. I think you will find me to be a very patient person and one that will work hard for you.

My goal is to provide your child with a warm, welcoming classroom where we can learn and grow together. All children can learn! However, they learn at different rates and in different ways. It is my responsibility to provide them with hands-on activities in which they can learn from. I may love my job, but I also take it very seriously. The jump from Third Grade to Fourth Grade is significant and I will do my best to support your child in any way I can.

Together as teacher and parent we can make this year one of extreme growth for your child. I will be teaching your child, but your child will be teaching me as well! We can all learn so much from each other and I can’t wait to get started! Please contact me if you ever have any concerns, positive news, or want to discuss your child. I would be happy to talk with you! Also, please stop in anytime. Families are always welcome! Here’s to a fantastic year in room 14!



Yours in Education,



Tara L. Seegert
