A Big Bite

Rock and roll will free your soul! Anna and Mrs. W look like they bought their shirts together!

Where have the last two weeks gone?  4th grade is flying by! We took the reading MCAS and have been reading Love that Dog and Hate that Cat by Sharon Creech in reader's workshop.  In writer's workshop we continue to celebrate National Poetry month.  Creative Arts Friday rocked with  rock poetry. We created visual imagery dictionaries to illustrate everyone's poem.  We enjoyed hearing everyone's poem/song and a few of us even started dancing!  The theme of many of the poems/songs was about "breaking up."  We finished the morning with Kyle's poem, Here Comes the Sun, by "those people," (Greyson) The Beatles. It was an uplifting and positive way to end the morning.  In math we have been working on time and graphing.  We will be starting a unit on symmetry when we return from vacation and preparing for MCAS. We are starting our study of the Midwest and it is a very exciting region.  This week in science we learned about tornadoes and we even made plastic bottle tornadoes.  It was tons of fun! The warm weather this past week is making everyone hungry for spring and summer and happy to see winter gone.  The last few moths of 4th grade are filled with many exciting activities and the week after vacation is just the beginning.  We will have another presentation from the Haffenreffer Museum and a surprise later in the week.  :)

Have a great week and read lots!!!
