Teacher: Jane Gundvaldson
October, 1999
Dear TOE Participants:We are a fourth grade class in Gretna, Nebraska. Gretna has a population of about 2,500 people. Gretna is located between Omaha, Nebraska and our state capital, Lincoln. In fourth grade we will study about our Nebraska History and all of the regions of the United States. Our subjects at school which we like are Physical Education (P.E.), Math, Library, Science, English, Art, and Music. We especially like Computer Lab where we learn all about using the computer. We have done HYPER Studio projects and used the internet for research. Our favorite foods are: pizza, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, hamburgers, steak, and tacos and burrittos. We also like fish. In our spare time we enjoy various hobbies such as: horseback riding, bike riding, collecting beanie babies, fishing, hunting with dads, dance classes, building model cars and planes, drawing,p laying with friends, watching television, skate boarding, skiing, and playing the piano. We are a very active sports-minded class. We participate in soccer, baseball, football, wrestling, bowling, volleyball, basketball, kick ball, golf, and ice hockey. We participate on organized teams and play some at recess. Our class has 12 girls and 10 boys. Our names are: Megan, Cody, Ryan, Laura, Ian, Jake, Jessica, Cindy, Sarah, Stephen, Doyle, Chelsea, Katie,
Mark, Devyn, Jay, Mitch, Morgan, Emily, Amy, Dana, and Alyssa. Some of us have lived in Gretna our whole lives. Others in our class have moved to Gretna because it is a wonderful place to live. We feel safe and the school district is excellent. The town of Gretna is growing and there are many new homes being built. Some families have moved here because of jobs. Our town is growing fast. Gretna has a city pool, three city parks, soccer fields, softball and baseball fields, tennis courts, an elementary, middle, and high school. We have visited the pumpkin farm our class is writing about. We are busy writing and enjoying the TOE project. We look forward to reading about all of the other schools and their projects.Sincerely,Gundvaldson’s 4th Grade Class Gretna, NE
