Poetry

The students have been looking at ordinary objects and trying to see them through a poet's eyes. The students looked at sea shells, rocks and pine cones. The students wrote what they saw as we get ready to write poems. They're wrote some great comparisons too!

Measuring in Math

The students have been measuring around our classroom. They're measuring in inches, feet, and yards. Students are expected to choose an appropriate tool. The problem solving questions are a bit tricky, but the students are working hard. 

Writing about Spring Break!

The students had lots of fun over Spring Break. We had a class meeting yesterday so students could share about their break. Then the students started writing about break! Students are encouraged to add many details to their story. We talked about using time order words too. Most students have finished their stories and we will begin poetry writing tomorrow.

Read In

On Friday, we will have a Read In from 9:00 - 9:45. The students will be able to sit with a friend and read in the hall or our classroom. Students may bring a beach towel if they'd like a softer place to read. Dismissal is at 11:50 tomorrow! Have a great Spring Break!!

Math Review

Today we reviewed telling time so students are ready for the test tomorrow. The review sheet was sent home. You can go over any errors with your child so they can learn from their mistakes.

Writing Celebration with our Buddies

We just finished our Information Writing Unit. The students are experts on many things and they taught us about many different things. I learned more about dancing, soccer, gymnastics and many other things. The student added some of their science knowledge about motion and gravity. Today they shared their books with their 5th grade buddies. Their 5th grade buddies complimented their hard work!

Telling Time Update

The students have been using Judy Clocks as they learn to tell time. The students have been learning about half past, quarter after and quarter till. Tomorrow they will be learning about time to 5 minute intervals. The students made little clocks for them to use at home to practice telling time.  We will finish this chapter next week and the test will be on Wednesday, March 11th. 

Science Review

The students reviewed Chapter 9 today in class. The science books were sent home so your child can review for the test on Wednesday, March 4th.
