I hope you all had a wonderful spring break and enjoyed the extra time with your families! We have had an awesome week in fourth grade and I loved seeing students work hard in all areas.
We are getting so excited for our field trip to Mackinac Island in June. If you haven't sent in payment for this trip, please do so soon! Thank you very much. The cost is $125 for students and $145 for parent chaperones.
Spring means the Wizard Walk is near! The annual Wizard Walk will be held on May 9th at 1:30. Students will be coming home with their packets today. The funds raised by the Wizard Walk help 4th graders by covering some of the costs of the Mackinac field trip. Thank you for participating!
I will submit the April/May Scholastic Book Order on Friday April 19th. Please have all orders placed by then. Our class code for online orders is HB4N7.
This week in fourth grade:
- We constructed Rube Goldberg devices to solve a variety of problems as an engineering design challenge in science. We brainstormed, planned, designed, built, adapted, and rebuilt. Next week we will film our devices in motion and present to the class.
- We began our study of poetry to celebrate National Poetry Month. We are reading poems, learning about poetic forms, and exploring techniques poets use.
- We concluded our unit on angles and took the unit assessment. We will begin our study of measurement next week. Thanks to all who went out and bought protractors for home use.
Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy the sunshine!
