Thank You

First of all, thank you to those of you that were able to make it to the Open House. It was so nice to see and share with you all the awesome things that are going to be happening in our classroom this year. If you were not able to make it, no worries-I know there are always lots of things going on in your lives. But, please make sure you contact me if there are ever any questions and I plan to do the same. 3 Big highlights of our day today were: 1. Making POSITIVE choices & getting a compliment in the lunchroom after yesterday's not so good day. I am glad we took the time to identify the problem and come up with a solution as a class. That is what life is all about. 2. We learned a Rounding Numbers Rap in Math. It is on the side of the blog on my list of websites. Have fun singing it together and write an example of how it is used on a number and if you do write the number showing the circles & underlines in the planner. This song is so well done and it is amazing at how well it helps kids round large numbers here in 4th grade. So tomorrow we will practice-practice-practice it. 3. We did a little experiment called Coke VS. Pepsi. We used the Scientific Method to hypothesize, experiment, observe, and draw conclusion with our taste test of Coke & Pepsi. Ask your child if there hypothesis was correct and write a :) or if not, write a :(. We also read quite a few short chapters of our book: There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom. Have a discussion about how the 2 boys' roles are changing as we go throughout the book. Makes for a great discussion on how characters change in books from beginning-middle-end. Just a reminder to those of you that still have the Library forms from Mrs. Anderson to please get them in. Thank you Tomorrow is the last day to turn in Honor Choir Tryout forms. Have a great night.
