I am so impressed with our Tech Fair presenters. I heard nothing but positive comments about how articulate our fourth graders were. Even parents learned new things!

We had a great week. In Social Studies students played Jeopardy, made political cartoons, and learned about unfair taxes imposed on the American Colonists which led to the American Revolution.
Our Feature Articles are beginning... we choose two topics we would like to write about and we broke them into subheadings. Next week we will plan out our writing and do our research. We have spent so much time reading and dissecting feature articles that we are experts now!
In Math, we began fractions with hands on activities. Fraction strips are a great resource for the introduction to fractions and equivalent fractions. We will continue fractions next week!
Our Reading Workshop has focused on Summarizing. This is a difficult topic for some. We will continue to look at summarizing and main idea next week.
We had our second Peaceable Bus session this week, only one more for the year. Mr. Valentini challenged us to have no more bus referrals this year!!!
I can't believe there is only one week before vacation! Let's make it a productive one!
