Our Week In Review

This week in our class we did a LOT.  First, we started reading a book called The Family Under the Bridge.  We already made it to chapter 6! When we read this book, we are working on ~ Asking Questions, Themes, Making Predictions and Cause and Effect.  We are doing really well!!!!

We are going to have a mini food drive in fourth grade for the Franklin Food Pantry.  This book is filled with many worthy themes.

This week we wrote postcards to the soldiers in the army.  We gave them to Rory's mom and she is going to send them to the soldiers.  We wrote about how we are thankful that they are risking their lives to keep us safe and protect our country.

We started writing acrostic poems about November, too.

In math, we learned partial products.  We did one digit multipliers this week, and next week, we are going to multiply using two digit multipliers.  Click here for directions on how to use this new algorithm.

In art, we drew poses of a figure moving.  We also learned a new song, "Starburst" on the recorder.  Remember you can listen to the music on the Recorder Karate site.
