August 1, 2023 Dear Fourth Grade Families, I would like to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year! I am excited to meet each of you and see what contributions you bring to our classroom. I am honored to be given the task of working with the fourth graders of our school and am eager to get this school year started! This will be my eleventh year in education and ninth year teaching at Mason Ridge. I taught fifth grade for two years and then joined the fourth grade team. I find myself extremely grateful to be able to work with such a strong and supportive learning community, and I am incredibly fortunate to work alongside Ms. Broemmelsick and Mrs. Reinking, a wonderful team of teachers. Fourth grade is an amazing year with numerous opportunities for leadership as well as for academic, social, and emotional growth. In my downtime, I enjoy running, playing volleyball, and watching my favorite hometown teams, the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Blues! I LOVE to travel; I just wish I had more time to do so. Whether it be a weekend road trip or a planned getaway, I always find enjoyment in these adventures. I'm looking forward to learning with all of you this year. Please know that I am here to support you. Gratefully, Mr. Matt Eastman |
