Welcome to 4th Grade
Welcome back to school! The 2023-2024 school year is going to be fantastic! My name is Mr. Boettcher (pronounced Bet-ker) and this will be my fourth year at Pioneer Ridge Elementary. I have taught 4th grade for a total of 10 years in our district and one year in STEAM (at Milliken Elementary).
I look forward to a new year with a great group of students! My goal as a teacher is to teach every student the process of learning. I understand our class features future teachers, chefs, electricians, veterinarians, oil field workers, entrepreneurs, and many other professions. Though, I can't teach you everything you need to know about those fields, I can teach you how to problem solve, collaborate, discover, and self-motivate. With those skills instilled in every student, we have empowered a positive future.

Our adventure starts with one step. Are you ready to take it?
What is an adventure? Some people think it's the time in their lives when they feel "alive." Others may say that an adventure is a trip or family vacation. Maybe it's traveling through wolf-dwelling forests on your way to grandmother's house. It can possibly be the feeling of excitement during a thunderstorm or jumping into three feet of snow. An adventure is different in every person's eyes, but really it is quite simple to explain. An adventure is doing something NEW, something UNEXPECTED, and something MEMORABLE. It changes the person's perspective on the world and helps offer ways to make the world better. It defines a person's character. Are you up for an adventure? Let's take the step together!
