Tuesday September 20th

Good Morning,

Time flies when you are having fun!! We've been very busy in the 4th grade. Hence the reason we haven't had time to post some of the things we've been doing. We are doing a variety of different activities. The students are finishing up their first art project which is on display in the hallway!! They are also finishing up their first pen pal letter to students in Willow Lake!! Finally, we are working on an All About Me Gazzette which is similar to a newspaper article. Last week we dove into our Veteran's Activity with the 8th graders and will work on a time that they can come in a present their interviews to the vets. Something else I introduced to the students was an "Adopt - a - Resident" activity. Basically once a month the students will create something as simple as a note to send to the residents at the Prairie View Care Center. These are all the extras I've incorporated into our classroom. This week we are discussing Wildlife. In teams the students will create their own raft to test on Friday to see if it will float or sink!!! This is the last Week in Unit 1 so next week will be a review week!! The students did very well on their last math test. They will have another one this Friday. Students will have their FIRST science test next week! We are having a great time in 4th grad and I'm so excited for all the opportunities we have going on!!

Have a great day!

Ms. Knudson
