4th Grade Spanish Immersion with Maestra Damsteegt

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.

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...

Hola parents!  Welcome to our blog. I will send the link to the updated blog every Friday afternoon / evening-ish via your emails.  In the blog, you will find snapshots of what we have been learning in each of our subjects. You will also find important announcements / updates from the office and even other specials teachers. This week, we learned the expectations of being in 4th grade Spanish Immersion. The knowledge and understanding of how things are run in the classroom will create for that solid foundation to build learning. I am looking forward to diving into the content next week.  It was so much fun getting to know the students! Oh parents, what an awesome group of kiddos we have. I feel incredibly blessed to be their teacher this year, and I expect marvelous things from them.  Homework will be happening next week. The students will have three assignments to complete. Two math assignments and one reading assignment.  Math : - weekly math facts log (50 min...

Wow! The ice cream social was such a hit! What an incredible time we had mingling and meeting each other. I am praying over our students, their families, our classroom, and our school as we embark together on this brand-new school year. Welcome to our classroom blog. I will be sending out the blog to your emails every Friday (most likely in the afternoon / early evening). You will find important information regarding our class- what we are studying, highlights, photos, etc. Just a few notes! 1. If you have not done so already, please fill scan the QR code to record your child's T-shirt size for Walk-a-Thon. 2. If your child does NOT have a baton, please inform the Office. They will order one for your child. I will keep the batons in the classroom. Have your child bring theirs to school if they haven't done so already! 3. If your child has extra school materials such as packs of glue sticks, packs of pencils, etc. We have two options of what to do with them. They can be kept in ...
