4Z


Welcome to the 2016-2017 4Z learning community! 


It is my wish that throughout the year, your child shares with you a window into our classroom. It is my sincere pleasure to teach 4th grade at Spoede, and it is my honor to work with your child each day, fostering a love and appreciation for learning.  


On this page you will find student pictures, including those demonstrating our emotional and social growth we practice and encourage, daily, within one another.


You will also find words by which we enrich our learning community, creating a safe, enjoyable experience for each student to learn and grow. 






Avoid distraction; find direction.



Don't look to others for affirmation, look inside yourself. 


Comparison is the biggest destroyer of joy. 
Do not compare yourself to others; otherwise, you will not know true joy.


Welcome the challenge before doubting your ability.
