Welcome to 4th Grade Spanish Immersion!

Hola, parents and students! My name is Hannah Damsteegt, and I am your child's 4th grade Spanish Immersion teacher. I pray that you all had a wonderful summer break and are ready for a fun and exciting school year.

I graduated from Calvin University in 2015 with a degree in Secondary K-12 Spanish Education. From 2016 to 2022, I worked in Tegucigalpa, Honduras as a 3rd grade English Immersion teacher. This is now my second year at Rose Park, and I am blessed to be here.

I am excited to get to know your child and (you too, parents!) through-out the year and help them succeed in their education and participation during their school day.

The ice cream social is scheduled for Thursday, August 17 from 6 PM to 7 PM. Please come if you are able to! It will be a time to fellowship over ice cream as the kiddos meet me, see their classroom, and play with their fellow students. If you'd like to bring the students' batons and school supplies, I will have labeled crates where you can put them. Please put your student's school supplies in a Ziploc bag labeled with their names. The class schedule and welcoming information will be available as a hard copy in the classroom, too.

If you are unable to attend, no worries. I am including the class schedule and welcoming information to this post. Please free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

Looking forward to meeting you and cultivating a wonderful, successful year.

In Christ,

Maestra Hannah Damsteegt

What We Learned this Week: Bible:  This week, we studied David's desire to build a temple for God. We talked about how God sometimes says "no" as an answer to our desires. Just like David, we cannot allow that to make us feel bitter. God's will and plan is always good and perfect.  Math:  The students finished up their Unit 3 tests this week. We have started Unit 4 which is all about algebra. We started off by simplifying like expressions. I am including some practice exercises. If your student wishes to practice simplifying like expressions, s/he can complete this page and turn it in. I will provide feedback. Writing:  We are now officially finished with the Persuasive Essays. We look forward to next week when we move on to the Personal Expertise Essay. Social Studies:  The students finished their Geography of the United States Google Slides Project this week. We will be studying movements of people within the United States next week.  February 12 to 23 S...

Week of August 26 to 29

What We Learned this Week Bible : We are kicking off our Bible class by understanding how Scripture interprets Scripture. We are studying the book of Philippians to do so. We investigated the events that took place during Paul's second missionary journey along with the people he met. Ultimately, we learned that Paul's primary focus was to know Christ even more- which should be our motive as well.  This unit is very short, so the students will be taking a quiz over the material we have learned thus far late next week. However, it is quite possible that the quiz will be pushed to early the following week. The students will be given a hard copy of the study guide, and I am including a digital copy of the study guide here as well. I also like to include links to a gamified version of the study guide. The platform is called "Blooket," and the students should be familiar with it. Here are the game links if your student wishes to play the games: Tower Defense 2 Monster Braw...

What We Learned this Week: Bible:  We have finished up our study on the flawed prophet Samson. We are now studying another story that took place during the time of Israel's judges- the story of Ruth. We have read up on how Ruth and Naomi traveled back to Bethlehem and how Ruth met Boaz.  The students will be taking the Judges and Ruth Test early in the week of September 30 to October 4. I will be providing the students a physical copy of the Spanish study guide on Monday. I am providing an electronic version of the Spanish study guide here . I am also including an English study guide for parent use only. Feel free to use this resource to support your student.  Additionally, I have made a Blooket using the test questions. I am including the game links here as another study resource for your student. Tower Defense 2 Monster Brawl Cafe   Factory Crazy Kingdom Tower of Doom Math:  This week, we have been learning how to use a sum in order to double-check our subtra...
