In the News

We are almost halfway through the first 9 weeks. The students have been learning about the water cycle and weather.  Be sure to watch the weather channel or news together and talk about the two storms currently at sea and moving our way.

In Social Studies we are learning how to read maps, globes, and atlases. They are also learning some economics and we are discussing how to set a budget. They started using their checkbooks almost two weeks ago. At the end of the month they will be able to bid on items from our treasure chest.In math we are finishing up our study on estimating and will begin multiplication this next week. Please help your child master their math facts.

We have several writing projects started right now. The students are finishing a poster or scroll on the water cycle. Ms. Curti joined us last week and taught the class about the importance of word choice in terms of strong verbs. Ask your child to tell you about the book "Shrek" and our favorite phrase - stunningly ugly. The students researched a weather event such as hurricanes or tropical depressions. This week they will finish writing their paragraph.

Please visit PICASSO at www.cobbk12.org. There are many helpful links and activities for you and your child to share.

Welcome to Fourth Grade!

August 10, 2008

My name is Paula Zaragoza and I have been teaching for 8 years. Some of that time was spent working as a supply teacher. My initial certification was in German Language and Literature, but in 2001 I added Elementary Education.  Currently I am completing  my Master's Program in Elementary Education at Kennesaw. If all goes according to plan, my oldest child and I will both have graduation next May.

     I am originally from New Hampshire but have lived in the southeast for the past 27 years. Both of my sons were born here.  Sean (South Carolina) is 17  and Greg(Georgia) is 15. They attend  Kell High School and are very involved in music; orchestra and band. If you go to any Kell Football games, you might see me chaperoning the Marching Band.  I also have a black lab, Becca. She thinks she is the baby of the family.

     I love to read, run, spend time with my family and friends, and play card games. I am looking forward to a great year with your children!
