A Big Bite

Engineering, Constitution Day, math, read alouds, reading routines, heart maps, poetry, map skills, word study, technology, morning meetings, end of the week meeting, Dance Party Friday...our weeks are full!!!  Our second full week enabled us to get so much done.  We began Puffmobiles, our first engineering project.  Peter, a structural engineer and one of Mrs. A's former students, and Drew, a civil engineer and FHS graduate, spoke to all 4th graders about the engineering design process.  They also worked with groups on their designs.  We have started a unit on addition and subtraction and there will be a quiz next Friday.  We even had time to start working on algebra skills using Hands On Equations.  We are working on continuing to establish routines in reader's and writer's workshop and have begun word work involving sentences and grammar skills.  Learning about maps has been our focus in social studies and we will keep this focus for the next few weeks.  Our daily meetings have been very beneficial in helping us establish community and in building relationships with each other.  We are working on transitions, self control and organization.  Ask your child about the pictures below!
Have a great weekend.
Mrs. Williams
