Geometry...lines and segments, and Fourthie Fun

The girls are loving their geometry unit. In fact, the other day, they did not even realize that they were having math class. I had to tell them! They are constructing figures, drawing concentric circles, making circle constructions, and they even learned how to draw the Star of David through inscribing an equilateral triangle in a circle.  This goes along with the book we are reading in class--Number the Stars.  Check out the video below to see the great learning going on in this class!

Raising the Colors

A new Fourthie Duty!  Somehow the flag was raised the first week, and it stayed up!  Go Fourthies!

Lots of Fun on the First Day

 From unpacking bags and organizing supplies to a challenging, but fun icebreaker activity, the first day was a chance for all of us to get acquainted.  Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.
Today, the second day, is even better!

It's Finally Here...the First Day of Fourth Grade

Really?  Am I really going to meet my new class of Fourthies?  You think you are excited....well, I can't wait until tomorrow, but that is only the beginning!  Once we have ORGANIZED all of our stuff, in between surprise breaks, then we can finally start our year.  Of  course, your teachers have been meeting and plotting, I mean planning, some great activities for you....such as FIELD TRIPS, and cool, new websites to use, and fun projects.  It's going to be a great year!  I will probably see many of you tomorrow between 1 and 2 when you can drop by M06, your new "pad" for a year.  By the way, that's a Decade word, but you'll learn more about that later.

Don't forget!  The first real day of school is Tuesday beginning at 8 AM and ending at 3:25 PM.
Bring your assignment pads and supplies, and we'll get going!  See you tomorrow!

Welcome New Fourthies!
