A Big Bite

Scientist Sam visited 4th grade this week to teach us about light and other fun physics concepts, it was a highlight for many students!  We are learning to use protractors in math as we continue to focus on geometry.  There will be a test this coming Thursday.  Two days this week were spent on the ELA MCAS and everyone worked hard, math will be in the middle of May.  On Friday, some students chose to stay inside for recess and watch a fun video of songs and animals which is a favorite of one of our classmates.  Thanks to Mrs. Merten for letting us watch in her room with some of our friends in room 24.  The students told me that they cannot believe that there are only 35 days left in fourth grade.  The most common response was, "This year has gone by so fast!"  Yes it has gang, yes it has.
