Mrs. Pudvar's Fourth Grade

Mrs. Pudvar is a caring teacher. She loves math and is very good at teaching it. She appreciates all the children's work. She loves us no matter if we get the answer right or wrong, but she wants your best effort everytime. She tells us that we all have to know how to get along, we don't all have to be best friends, but we all have to appreciate each other.

Our class loves working in the garden. We harvested basil for the FCS kitchen. We have the most healthy lunches in Vermont. In some schools, they just reheat frozen food. In Ferrisburgh, the lunches are homemade with a lot of fresh vegetables and fruit. The cooks try hard to give us food that is full of nutrients. They worry about our health, they want us to learn how to eat healthy. Some of our favorite lunches are whole wheat pizzas and rotini. We do not get junk food in our school lunch.
Clarinets and flutes

    A lot of the fourth graders are in band. This is the first year that we have instrument lessons with Mr. Bowers. He is a very funny band leader. He wants us all to listen to the music and respect everyone. He says that this year, we have a chance to be the best band ever!
    We have Four Winds come to our classroom once a month. Four Winds is a program that is really fun. They teach you about nature. We learned how to use a compass. The Four Winds is made up of parents that volunteer to come and teach us about nature.
    In fourth grade, we do skill builders. We get one minute of time and we do math facts to see how far we can get in one minute. We have to learn our multiplication tables. We need to practice because we sometimes forget our math facts.
moon

    In science, we are studying electricity. We are doing an experiment with a battery, a wire and a light bulb. We have to find four ways to make it light up. We are going to learn how electricity works.
    We study the moon in fourth grade. We are learning why the moon is sometimes a cresent, a full moon or sometimes not even showing in the sky. Every day, we go to the web and look at what phase the moon is in.
    We are looking foward to a great year. We hope to learn lots of new things this year. We will especially enjoy our caring teacher. Our class will certainly be going on lots of field trips this year. We are like one big happy family.
