Wow

We had an AMAZING field day! I hope you heard lots about it...I tweeted as the day went on and posted about 50 pictures on Facebook this morning... (I seem to take a lot of pictures...) Twitter: ADE4thGrade and Facebook: Fourth Grade Superheroes

I can't believe that we only have a handful of days left for learning! The students have grown so much over the year. I look at their writing and everything each day and am in awe at them. Thank you for all of your help in making that happen!

We began our day with editing two passages for capitalization, punctuation and spelling. They did an awesome job with this. I pointed out to them that this is what editing looks like and that they should do this with their own writing. Then, we continued our research. We had one student that was having difficulty finding information that she needed about a soccer player so we performed some modern day research by tweeting the question to the athlete! Waiting to hear back... In The City of Ember, Lina was captured and was being scolded by the mayor when they lights went out, which allowed her the opportunity to run! Mr. Higginbotham came in afterwards and gave them a Student Experience Survey. Students were asked to rate their experience as a student on a scale. (You'll have to ask them about it.) Then, we read the informational text story in StoryWorks about aliens. For Math, we continued reviewing all the measurement topics in our review packet and we finished our day with economics by watching a video, "Econ and Me" which showed some of the vocabulary and how it relates to them.
