In math, students worked in pairs and were each given a number to explore. They discovered all of the arrays and factors for their number, then created posters to showcase their work. Together, we wrapped up with a group discussion about square numbers, prime numbers, composite numbers, and more!

Centerpiece
Every morning we have a "centerpiece" in the middle of our circle. This, much like a fire, is a place for students to look at to find peace, to help focus, or to help deal with an assortment of feelings. Kids often bring in little treasures to donate, and these items can be used as "talking pieces" as well. It's so fun to see what students come up with every day! Ask your child if they remember the rules to our morning meetings!

Never Gonna Let You Down
After doing a close-read of our fourth grade song, students selected phrases/verses that they felt represented us as a fourth grade family.
The students then turned these inspirational words into inspirational posters that will remind us that we will always have one another's back this year!

Miscellaneous Adventures
In fourth grade we work hard on academics, but we also go for walks, play, foster friendships, get creative, and so much more!
On the first Friday of the school year the fourth graders gave the Kindergarteners a flower to welcome them to our community.
