ELA by Carson Albright:

  • This week we worked on finishing up our I Survived novel studies. We will be turning those books in on Monday, November 24th. 
  • In writing we are workong on our When I Grow Up essay contest pieces. Students are researching careers to find the best fit for themselves!

Math by Marley Hicks:

  • Our class is continuing learning to count money. We have been practicing buying our Thanksgiving dinner with $100.00. Then we drew our dinner out on a piece of paper.

Science Deep Dive by Lily Kurtz:

  • In science, we learned about how far things can be thrown based on their weight. 
  • We learned that smaller and lighter objects go further than larger and heavier objects. The lighter objects do need a little weight so they don’t float like a feather. 

Digital Discovery by Lily Kurtz:

  • The 4th-grade class has made a huge improvement in typing, because let’s face it, typing is hard! We’re learning to type words and starting sentences. It’s very exciting but a little stressful at the same time, because we’re going to cover our hands while typing soon. By the end of the year, everyone should be amazing at typing.

Character Education by Ben Stack: 

  • In  SEL we partnered up with second graders to read their books that they brought over to us so they could practicing their listening skills. There were some ups and downs but overall everyone did a nice job.
