Soy Carmen Suárez, actual maestra de los 4º años. Llevo 9 años trabajando para Lancaster y tengo la camiseta muy bien puesta. Soy maestra normalista bilingüe y he trabajado con todos los grados de primaria y con adultos. Soy madre de 3 jóvenes. Creo en la libertad con responsabilidad y pienso que la primera etapa de la vida es el momento de sembrar los hábitos que guiarán nuestro comportamiento. Disfruto mi vida y me encanta ser parte de Lancaster.

Grade 4 English Teacher

Caroline

My name is Caroline Horowitz. I'm originally from Santa Barbara, California, but I've lived in a variety of places including Princeton, Paris, Minneapolis, and now Mexico City. Ever since my childhood I've known that I wanted to be a teacher. I can't think of a more challenging yet rewarding profession, particularly with the added interest of teaching in a multicultural environment. I'm thrilled to join the Lancaster Community this year and to help guide your 4^th graders through a unique year in which they will develop their personalities, solidify basic skills, experience the joy of academic challenge, and prepare themselves to set the example for the younger grades.

What we have been learning:

Over the course of these next few weeks we will be leading students in the discovery of different approaches to govern a state and the ways in which states interact. Students will learn the main characteristics of the most common economic and political philosophies.

Durante este año las unidades de indagación las trabajaremos tanto en inglés como en español, por lo que nos enfocaremos en los mismos objetivos y las actividades las realizaremos indistintamente en cualquiera de los dos idiomas.

and contrast life in the past with their current experiences, investigating influential people, movements, and inventions. By the end of this unit, students will draw their own conclusions about the repercussions of change, for better or for worse.
