Happy Holidays!

From a writing celebration, to buddies, library, an assembly, and party- here is a snapshot of our very busy day!

Two Fun Activities

Today we had not one but two special activities!  We were so lucky to have Mrs. Thomas (Austin's mom) come in and do a fun lesson. Students worked in groups to problem solve and we also talked about goal setting. Then we had our last Lewis and Clark lesson. We finished with a party playing Louisiana Purchase bingo and had some goldfish and popcorn. 

Lewis and Clark

Today we learned more about the journey of Lewis and Clark. Some students even modeled the method of translation that occurred to get horses from the Shoshone. 

Doctor Day

Congratulations to the new DOCTOR Moehlmann!  We are so proud of you!

Corps of Discovery

We are so lucky to have Mrs. Jardon teaching us all about the Corps of Discovery and the Louisiana Purchase. We are learning a lot!

Future Engineers- Lego Robotics!

The students had the chance to work with Lego Robotics today in library. They were able to make a robot that kicked a ball!

I love how they all are ready to help!

  

Don't forget tomorrow is the last day!

We Think Rocks ROCK

Look at these awesomely amazing books we made in science. These books are showing everything we learned about the earth. We learned about the different types of rocks and minerals as well as weathering and erosion.  This was our final assessment for the earth unit. 

CARE

Today in counseling they talked about using the acronym CARE when you are upset or frustrated. 

C- call a friend, A- accept what you cannot change, R- reframe how you think about the situation, E- encourage a friend. 

Students then uploaded their examples to a counseling webpage. 

Making Lapbooks

We started to work on a project for the end of our science unit on rocks and minerals. We are making lapbooks and students were researching and working today. We also continue to compare characters in books during our author study. 

Winter Musical

Mrs. Creech and these fourth graders sure put on a great show!

Wacky Hair and Analyzing Character

Look at this wacky hair we had today!  They looked great!  We are also working on comparing characters in different books by the same author for our author study. 

I am also so lucky to have so much help with my charts!

Wacky Hair Day Tomorrow

Don't forget to wear your wacky hair to help Helping Hands.  We also have a chapter 6 division test tomorrow!

Dynamic Dividers!

We are moving right along with division!  We finished up chapter 6 today and will test on Friday.  I also love all the help I am getting with writing on the board!  When the teacher cannot write this class has really stepped up to help!

 

Cookie Reminder

Don't forget cookie dough pick up is tomorrow!

Author Study

Today we started studying different authors. Each student is in a group looking at characteristics of the author. We will be comparing characters in the books, as well as looking for common plots and themes. We've read two Peg Kehret books for read aloud this year and that has really helped get us started thinking about authors and their craft.
