Good Morning Fourth Grade Families!
The days in our classroom just fly by, and I love spending them with your kids! It's a joy to see them learn and grow, especially when they grow in character. When the kids are done with their work, they can read, write, or do an activity from our 'I'm Done, Now What?' board. Last week one of the activities was to give an award to a classmate. It's been so wonderful to see how the kids have recognized the 'good' in each other. Here are some examples:
"...for being a good friend. She shared her snack with me when I didn't have one."
"...for cleaning up the library, even though no one asked her to."
"...for being kind and helping people."
"...for being an awesome friend. He is kind and loving to everyone in our class."
"...for helping me."
"...for being nice and having a good attitude."
"...for never being mean. He always shows the fruit of the spirit."
"...he hugged someone when they were upset."
If you ever wondered how your kids behave at school, now you know :) They have their "not so great" moments at times, but for the most part, they're pretty awesome kids!
This week in...
Math: We're working on our 1 digit by 1 digit multiplication unit. Keep practicing those math facts!
Reading: We've been talking about Story Elements, and will be using them to analyze short stories.
Writing: We're publishing new pieces for our Writing Portfolios.
Science: We're continuing to learn about the Circulatory system and are currently studying the main components of blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, and what each one's job is.
There's no school on Friday, so enjoy your long weekend!
