Thanksgiving

The last few weeks have been very busy! We are reading Wonder, learning how to multiply multi-digit numbers, researching the regions of the United States, writing an informational 5 paragraph essay, and so much more! Today we took some time to have some fun!

We practiced and performed some Thanksgiving themed plays. 

We built snowmen at recess!

And, our class pet (Yogi, the Guinea Pig) came home to his "vacation cottage" for the 5 days we have off. 

4th grade rocks!!!

A busy week!

This has been a busy week in our classroom! Our class pet, a Guinea pig named Yogi, moved into our room this week.  He has been vacationing at my house over the summer, and is so excited to be back! 

Our hallway isn't so bare anymore.  Next week it will be even more decorated because all of the 4th graders goal posters are due on Wednesday. We are beginning with the end in mind at this Leader in Me school!

We had our Big/Little Leaders meeting today, and we taught our first grade friends how to buddy read. 

We even did some buddy reading with each other. EEKK = elbow to elbow, knee to knee. 

This is such a great class! I can't wait for all of the adventures we will have this year!

Back to School

A brand new school year is underway! This is my 15th year teaching in Wayne Westland, and I still LOVE the beginning of a new school year! The freshly sharpened pencils, new boxes of crayons, and empty notebooks make me excited to teach all of these bright-eyed 4th graders! It's only the first week, but I'm already in love with my new class! It's going to be a great year!!!
