4th Grade Draft Day - New Recruits!

Today we had Step Up Day and I welcomed my new class for next year!  They searched for and collected owls that told about some things we'll work on next year!  It was great to meet all the new recruits!  I'm hoping they train hard this summer to get ready for next year!  Have a wonderful vacation!

Happy Class Day Parade!

Busy Minion News - Week of June 6

This Week  We have had a good, productive week.  We have completed almost all of our end-of-the-year assessments – so we feel pretty accomplished and ready for 5^th grade!  Reading and Math Dibels are done, as well as DRA reading levels, and our end of the year spelling test! We will complete our last writing prompt next week and then we can finish our celebration activities without anything dangling over our heads!  While we have been doing our assessments, we have been taking time to work on Literacy and Math activities.  We finished our literacy Treasures book with the last story of “How Ben Franklin Stole the Lightning.”  We have also started studying geometry concepts with a project that incorporates art, quidditch, and collaborative creative writing – inspired by Jeremy’s broken quidditch broom from last week!  We also spent time this week working on our food truck project and working in the school garden.

Next Week   We will continue to work on fun, engaging activities as the year winds down.  Next week is full of our end of year traditions: Class Day Parade on Monday, Field Day on Wednesday, and Reading Carnival on Friday.  We will also work on our Food Truck projects – with our target finishing date of 6/17, when we will celebrate with (optional) samples from our food trucks on “Food Truck Tuesday.”  We will work on our Broom/Geometry angles project, our spring time narrative story writing prompt, as well as finish up our Harry Potter favorite moment books, as well as some other possibilities…..  You just never know what I’ll cook up next!

REMINDER:  Class Day Parade 6/9, Field Day & BBQ 6/11, Reading Carnival 6/13, Food Truck Tuesday 6/17, and… Last Day of School is June 19 – and it will be an Early Release Day.
