Mrs. B. thought of our classroom while out shopping one day and surprised us with a very special class penguin to go with our mural! 🐧 We are having so much fun coming up with the perfect name for our new friend!
Mrs. B. also surprised us with some special sparkles today! ✨ We are SO lucky to have such a wonderful team supporting our Fabulous Fourth Graders!
We’ve kicked off the year in both reading and writing by diving into poetry and discovering deliciously descriptive words! In fourth grade, we work hard to expand our vocabulary so that when we write, we can choose just the right words to bring our ideas, stories, and writing to life. We’re already having fun playing with words and discovering the power they have!
We started our first Math Unit that is all about multiplication! Students are learning about factors, prime numbers, composite numbers, and more. In fourth grade we focus on open area models. Practicing multiplication facts at home is highly encouraged and super helpful!
Students worked together to create the mural they designed, a colony of penguins, surrounded by positive self-talk and words they can use to support one another, themselves, and to strengthen our community.
We also have a fourth grade theme song, "Welcome to the Family" by Michael Franti. Students created posters that highlight quotes from our theme song that they want to hold in their hearts.
