 Respect this space. In this classroom...“In our classroom, we believe that learning is a lifelong adventure.
We believe in facing each day with minds open to knowledge and hearts open to love. We believe in the freedom to wonder, to ask, to explore, to imagine, to create. We believe that success means doing our best, being our best, and feeling proud of our effort. We believe that every one of us has special talents, and that the talents of each of us help all of us. We believe in ourselves, and in each other, in our classroom. " Author Unknown |

Spanish explorers like Ponce de Leon and Hernando De Soto explored the new land along with English explorers. We studied all this and more. The kids favorite was the youtube video upleaded by jwinstead220 . Thank heaven for people who have this talent and make my job easier. The kids learned about buoyancy and water displacement in their science centers using the foil boats that they designed.

In February, all fourth graders in the state are taking the FCAT Writes. We are making small changes every day to improve our writing so that we can dazzle the judges with our voluminous vocabulary. Our vocabulary focus this month is retiring overused words to make room for newer and more vivid words. With ghosts and goblins lurking in behind every corner, it feels a bit ghoulish around here. We couldn't think of a better time to hold our "DEAD WORDS" funeral.

First day of school. I was so happy to see all the kids again. There were a few new faces, but for the most part, it was my same little third graders now returning as big fourth graders. We have such grand expectations for this year. We are all on an amazing 4th grade adventure together.
