BRRRRRRRR!!

Thank you for having your child dressed for the weather. It is supposed to be like that for a couple more days so that means we will probably have indoor recess. In spite of being cooped up all day, we had a very good day.

Today was the start of recorders in Music. Mr. Goodheart will be gone on Wednesday and with the holiday next Monday, recorders will not be needed again until Wednesday, January 19th. They have homework in Music though and they can always take the recorders home to practice.

We did some poetry writing today for our snowmen that we made on Friday. They are writing either an opposites or free verse poem. Looking like we have some poetic 4th graders. :)

We are about to finish our outlining in Social Studies for Chapter 7. Then we will be moving on to the Midwest. We will be starting a research project where students will choose from a hat a state from the Midwest or SE and do a report on it. They will have a guide to help them gather facts. These will be presented to their peers and the peers will have to do a good job of listening as they will have a form to complete also as they listen to the facts being presented.

Students will need a tri-fold board for this project. Just a small one that comes up to about their knees. These can be purchased at Wal-Mart for about $5. I would like them to have those here by next Tuesday, January 18th.

Just a reminder that there is No School for students on Monday, January 17th.

Have a great night and stay warm.
