I don't have much memory of Fourth Grade. I have a somewhat vague recollection of Third Grade (and resentment at having lost a spelling bee), and more substantial memories of Fifth Grade (I prepared a report on the state of Montana), but Fourth Grade remains shrouded in mystery. Even what I think I remember, I'm still not sure of. (I collected Freakies cereral premiums with two friends in my class, and we made gadgets out of big rubber erasers by drawing on them. But wasn't that was still in Third Grade?)
My son started Fourth Grade day before yesterday. He's excited about the new year (though still a bit nervous), and doesn't seem to mourn the loss of his unstructured summer days, not in the way I remember. Not yet, anyway.
