Cleaning the Classroom

 

Before breaks we clean the classroom. We sharpen pencils, test markers, tidy up the class library, and more! This creates community and respect for our space.

We ended the day by watching "The Mitchells vs the Machines". It was a GREAT day!

Harvest Lunch

 We had a great Harvest Lunch today! Many families came to dine with us, and I realize how it's hard for many families to join. Community means scooping one another up, and everyone seemed happy and fed! 

Kicking off nonfiction research projects!

 

Fourth graders have been gathering ideas for nonfiction research topics they may be interested in. They examined major and minor resources to make a decision on what the best topic would be for them! 

First Snow!

 

Nonfiction Kickoff

 We kicked off our new nonfiction unit by going on a nonfiction text feature scavenger hunt!

Ms. Lisa Art

 The students had Ms. Lisa as a guest teacher the other day. She is an award-winning art teacher, and she took the time to do some winter art with the students. They came out beautifully!
