| We even had some "student" teachers! |
With another full week of school, we were able to get a lot accomplished! We had another math assessment (everyone did GREAT!) and we began our next unit about finding patterns, both visually and by finding a rule. This unit seems to be a favorite of fourth graders.
We had our Map Skills assessment yesterday. Once again the children did great! In class we discussed different ways to study, and even created a quizlet using the vocabulary. This is a new concept, and will take practice.
We have been learning about Weather Maps and Instruments, and have our first science quiz on Wednesday.
Many students' "best part of their day" is reading. This is wonderful! Many children have signed up to give book talks and share books and series they love. We have all enjoyed reading about Mr. Popper and his unusual pet! We will wrap up this book in the coming weeks, and will have a book celebration! Your child will receive a notice about this next week.
We have been working on writing list poems during Poetry Workshop. This should be finished by the end of next week, and are really fun to read! Stay tuned to our blog, where we will highlight some of our poetry in the coming weeks. We have enjoyed "showing not telling" in our narratives, and have helped one another with this difficult skill.
We spent some time this week thinking about Kennedy School and what we might want to change about our school. We had some time to share our ideas, and will continue to review these. We even had a special visitor to our class during our morning meeting! Mrs. McNeil was able to hear some of our ideas.
As usual, we wrapped up our Friday with an end of the week meeting! We all enjoyed our week! Congratulations to our friend who earned a "WOW" note! Excellent work!
Remember Halloween is Monday! We will have a special snack with our "Party in a Bag".
Happy Diwali to those families celebrating on Sunday!
