The video below is very inspirational. It’s taken from a middle school. This is a great example of kids getting together to do something positive, fun, and creative. I hope you enjoy it!
Week in Review:
Yet another great week in 4th grade! Great job this week. You get to enjoy a nice 3 day weekend too!
In Social Studies, we’re learning all about the native americans. Next week, we’ll finish up the matter unit by doing a couple experiments. The next units are Watery Earth and Electricity. Plenty of excitement to come in the near future!
In Math, we just finished up Unit 5. The class learned how to multiply 2 and 3 digit numbers using a variety of methods including partial product, lattice, and the traditional way. They also worked with rounding large numbers and estimating. The test was on Thursday. Next, the class will begin division.
In Writing, every student is doing a personal narrative on an impactful event in their lives. This is an exciting writing piece, and they are doing a great job!
In Reading, we continue to read a new book in Read Aloud. They finished up their first books in book clubs. I think most students really are enjoying book clubs. It gives them a chance to meet and discuss great books as a small group. These book clubs will continue. Next week, they will wrap up their book club by doing an end of book, group project. I can’t wait to see them!
A couple other things:
Friday is teacher/student switch day. I loved seeing all the creativity many students showed as they dressed up like a teacher. I enjoyed wearing sneakers, a hooded sweatshirt, and a hat.
Mrs. Douglas came in this week! She was very excited to meet everyone. She’ll be in next week too. We sat down and talked about all the wonderful things that are happening in fourth grade. She looks forward to continuing this throughout the rest of the year. We’re making the transition go as smooth as possible. Feel free to keep in touch with me through this blog. I’ll always check it!
Sadly, the Eagles are out of the playoffs. I wonder if McNabb will be an Eagle next year? What do you think about the Phillies getting rid of Lee? I guess we’ll see what happens.
Our class is having a debate. Half the class will be for homework(odds) and half the class will be against it(even). Please list valid reasons for your comments and opinions. Have fun!
