What a GREAT day in 4th grade!
This morning in Math, we played a fun game called "Close to 1,000." Ask your student to see if he/she can explain the game to you! It was a great game for practicing our addition skills!
In Social Studies, we are making our own maps - we are being cartographers! The students will design their own island and make a map to represent it. Their map must have a title, scale, compass rose, and a key/legend which includes at least 5 symbols. The students can get as creative as they want with this! The map must be colored and each student should write 2 questions about their map on the back for another student to answer tomorrow!
In Science, we are continuing on with our Nutrition unit. Go to www.myplate.gov to see the replacement model for the food pyramid. We are also studying "My Plate" as part of our unit this year!
Many of you have either finished your book report or are in the process of working on your popcorn bag, which is great! Don't forget that popcorn bag book reports are due Wednesday, September 28. We will have a popcorn party that day for all students who finished their book report on time and did QUALITY work!
My class is also in the process of filling a jar with marbles to earn a class reward. Every time the class is caught doing something outstanding, I add marbles to the jar. On the other hand, I take marbles away when the class is not following directions or expectations. Once we get the jar filled, we will vote on a class reward! We are getting SO CLOSE!
Two students have answered the joke on the Jokes/Trivia page on this blog, and they got it correct! I will not post their answers because I don't want to give it away, but head over to the jokes page and post your answer! There will be treats on Friday for anyone who tries!
Have a wonderful evening! See you for Wacky Wednesday tomorrow! :)
