November 14th

Good Morning,

Well, it has been another 2 weeks since my last blog and the 4th grade class continues to amaze me and make me proud! Our Veteran's Day Activity went off without a hitch and there were numerous compliments for the outstanding work the 4th graders and 8th graders did. The students also created a couple projects that were done at home and WOW!! The Inventions and Ecosystems the students created were SPECTACULAR! Thank you so much for all the additional help at home! We are now moving to more exciting things coming up in 4th grade! This week we will start literature circles with the 5th grade. The studetns will be expected to read a certain amount of pages/chapters each week for regular group discussions. The students will need to be thinking about a Final Project that will be due before Christmas. This project will be with the 5th grade class. We will do some Thanksgiving activities this week and next and also create something for our adopted residents at the nursing home. We will begin Unit 3 in reading primarily discussing verbs. We also move on to the Southeast Region of the United States. There is a lot going on so make sure you are checking those Fridge Facts to be aware of exciting things happening in the classroom! Enjoy this beautiful weather we have!! Until next time.....
