Autumn Vibes in 4Z

 

Good Morning, I am posting this early because tomorrow I celebrate Thanksgiving with my sister and her family, so I will be a little busy.  We had another tremendous week of learning and growing.  We can tell that the holidays are just around the corner and everyone is hustling and bustling with so many things to get done.

Monday:

We started in Wonders with a new week.  Our essential question is about how animals inspire writers.  We created Haiku poems based from the ones that were in our book.

The children came up with some really good ones, describing anything in nature. 

We also continued working on i-Ready 

Tuesday:

We had a blast on Tuesday while we were on the PC campus to watch the women play basketball.  There was cheering, music and lots of fun all morning and into the early afternoon.

Wednesday:

Wednesday was a very long day as we held our Parent/Teacher Conferences at night.  During the day we continued work in our Wonders book and played a Kahoot game to review our math unit.  The children really do enjoy a good Kahoot game and it helps with reviewing the material.

Thursday:

We finally picked back up with Science.  The children paired up and did a Text Features Scavenger Hunt with the book we have been reading.

Friday:

We started the morning off with our Student of the Month virtual assembly.  We also won for our 4th grade attendance.  We were the top 4th grade class that had the best percentage for our attendance rate.  The kids were so excited to see our class up on the screen.

The children continue working on Wonders and i-Ready.  The end of the day, we worked on Our Thankful Trees.  The children have so much to be thankful for as their trees were filled.

These turned out great!!

Upcoming:

We have a very short week (2 Days) for our week leading up to Thanksgiving.  The children will attend an assembly on Monday and on Tuesday, the entire school will be parading around the hallways.  The children will be working on various Thanksgiving activities for the upcoming 2 days.  Stay tuned for pictures.
