Mrs. Spata’s Fourth Grade Blog

I just wanted to take a moment to say that I am so thankful for my wonderful class this year! You are all so kind and caring to each other!

It is a pleasure to come in and teach such a hardworking group of kids!

I promise to keep mixing in the fun, as long as you all keep up the great work!!

Wishing you all a healthy and happy Thanksgiving weekend! :0)

I would like to give a HUGE thank you to the following students and their families for sharing their family Melting Pots with us this month!! Your posters were great! It was so interesting to learn about your family heritage!

Dear Parents,

            As a culminating activity for our Native American Unit we will be having a Native American Day.  The kids will be rotating from room to room creating different crafts.  At the end of the day we will be having a pow-wow. 

For these crafts we ask for the following supplies: a Pringles container, which is used to create a rainstick and a coffee/tea can (tin, not plastic with handle) to create a drum.  Please have these supplies labeled and to school no later than November 21st. 

We will need 4 parents to help with the crafts.  It will be on Tuesday, November 25th from 9:20-12:20.  Please let me know if you would like to volunteer.

Thank you for your support!

Module 3 has been a little challenging so far. In order to continue to support you at home, I have created a “Module 3 page” with lots of helpful treats! 🙂

We have a quiz on Wednesday. Be sure to watch the tutorial videos and to use the practice quiz with answer key to help you to prepare. 

Note to parents: There are always many mathematical ways to solve a math problem. The strategies that I have selected to teach your children are very helpful. Please watch the tutorial videos and look at the notes I have posted. You are welcome to show other ways, however be careful that you are not confusing your child. 

Have a great weekend!!
