A Big Bite

Today was the 45th day of 4th grade and 4th grade is twenty five percent complete.  Can you believe it? Where has the time gone? 

We started our week off with the Dig It program from the Haffenreffer Museum at Brown University. We learned what it was like to be an archaeologist!  The museum will be back three more times this year; thanks PCC!  Party in a bag on Halloween was a lot of fun.  There were many great treats.  On Wednesday, Mrs. Rivera, a parent from Mrs. Merten's room, came in to tell us all about Dia de los Muertos.  It was a great way to kick off our new unit of study on Mexico.  Check out the pictures below.  We will be focusing on non fiction reading structures and text features in reader's workshop. We have started a six week unit of study on multiplication and division.  Please continue learning the basic facts, it makes a huge difference when learning multi step multiplication and division.  Thanks!

Creative Arts Friday was again a high point of the week for many students as they participated in a web quest about Mexico, continued to build weather stations and completed list poems and partner poems. Next week is a short week with days off on Tuesday and Friday.

Have a great weekend!
