Star of the Week

Our star this week is Phuong!

We loved learning more about Phuong through his poster, poem and pictures.  We learned that his hero is his mom, and that he cares a lot for his family, especially his niece Carmen.

We all giggled when he said the nickname he'd choose for himself is "Bob".

He chose to have a picture taken with Tanner and Anthony.

Thanks for doing a fantastic job, Phuong!

Math Games

We've been playing a lot of games in math class this year!

Today we played Division Dash and Big Number Top-It.  

Star of the Week

Our star this week was Anthony!

We learned a lot about Anthony while he presented his poster, poem, and photos.  

He is a big fan of Lego's and he has quite a collection of them!  His favorite movie is "Born to Be Wild" about orangutans and elephants, and he wants to be a zookeeper when he grows up.

Anthony's special guest  was his mom.

Thanks for being our star, Anthony!

Nonfiction Reading

During guided reading we've started reading nonfiction books centered around our Science and Social Studies standards.  The 4th graders are working on a few things while they're reading, such as asking questions, making connections, clarifying unknown words and summarizing.

They're doing a great job working with all of our new nonfiction titles.  Nice work, 4th graders!

Star of the Week

Our star this week is Lily!

Lily did a fantastic job presenting her poem, poster and photos.  She had a lot of photos from her family vacation in Disneyworld which were fun to see.  

We learned that her favorite movie is Dolphin Tale and that her favorite sport is figure skating.

Lily's special guests today were her brother, mom, and dad.

Thanks for being our star, Lily!  You were awesome!

Reading Buddies

Every Friday our 4th graders get together with their 1st grade Reading Buddies.  The 4th graders bring books to read to the 1st graders to practice their fluency, comprehension, accuracy and expression.  The 1st graders also read their library books to the 4th graders to practice the same things. 

It's a great time for our students to get to know each other while enjoying a few good books!
