Welcome
Welcome to 4th Grade!! 4-2
"Building Excellence, One Student At A Time"
Dear WPACES families and NEW 4th graders,
Welcome to 4-2, I am so excited to be your teacher this year! My name is Ms. Dixon. Let me start by sharing a little about myself. I was born and raised in North Philadelphia. I graduated from Strayer University with a bachelor's degree. I have worked at Wpaces for 7 years working with grades k-5th. I am connected to all the students here at Wpaces to help provide and support in this educational and learning environment. I try to be highly involved in all activities. I have coached the cheerleading team at Wpaces for 3rd through 5th-grade girls in 2018-2021. I have very high expectations for your child and I will work tirelessly to help them achieve those expectations. There will be a lot of growth, learning, and interactive exploration in our classroom this year! KNOW THIS: Learning will be fun!
I believe that children learn best when the teacher and parents work together to set and achieve the same goals for their child. It is important to work together as a team and keep communication open between us to ensure that your child has a successful school year. I look forward to an awesome, fun, and productive school year. Let’s work together to make this the best year ever!
Hello Parents/Guardians and New Students!! My name is Ms. Bivins and I am the Co-teacher in 4-2. I am super excited to get to know each and every one of you and am looking forward to an amazing year! A little bit about myself is that I was born and raised in West Philadelphia. I received my Bachelor's degree in elementary education in May of 2022 and a Master’s Degree in 2024. This will be my third year here at WPACES working with 4th grade.
I hope to create an engaging learning experience to achieve the growth and progress of your children. I also believe in a strong partnership of parents and teachers to aid in your child's success. I intend to make learning both fun and exciting! Once again, I hope to have a wonderful school year!
