The week began with our Rainforest
Celebration. Students enjoyed visiting different games on Monday that
related to our study of the rainforest. All the fourth grade classes
enjoyed the day!
In reading students began book
presentations. Students are sharing about their favorite book that they
read this year. I have been very impressed with their creative talents.
They must present a short summary of the book without giving away the
ending. Then they must tell why it is their favorite book. The audience
members are keeping track of books they want to read over the summer.
These orange pages will be coming home next week and would be a good
list to start with for summer reading. Thanks to all the great
presenters this week! Great job!
In math we continued our baseball math.
We enjoyed using math to learn about the baseball snacks. The students
also continued their Multiplication War tournament. We had the finals
today and the winner was Adam. He will go on next week to compete with
all the other fourth grade class champions. Good luck, Adam!
In science students finished creating
their pop bottle boats for racing. We learned the physics behind bottle
racing and worked on our design this week. Then students took to the
water to race their boats against one another in our class. Two groups
will go on to compete against the other class winners on Monday. Good
luck to Beastly Pancakes (Chris & Kyle) and Flaming Torpedos (Jack & Jordan)!
Enjoy your weekend!
