BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS!!!

Thanks to a very generous parent our classroom just purchased 9 new books that will serve as mentor texts for our reading and writing workshops. There are so many wonderful children's books out there, these are just a few. I have written a Donors Choose project to possibly purchase more throughout the  year.  I am anxious to get back to school to see which book is your favorite...

Mini Water Cycles

Mini Water Cycle

These were a great review of the water cycle. We eventually had to take them outside and let the sun do some evaporation before we could see the precipitation. We managed to see some run off on the "mountains" aka as the rocks.

Welcome to Fourth Grade!!!

Welcome to fourth grade! I am so excited to begin a new year with brand new students and brand new activities. We will grow as  a family and treat each other as such. We will also be busy learning lots of new stuff, so please put your thinking caps and listening ears on before you head to class. One of our focuses this year is going to be getting healthy! We will be moving and learning quite a bit, which is proven to help you learn better. So get set and ready to learn!
