Fourthies met with the teachers who are sponsoring activity clubs on Friday afternoons. Above you will find a link to the information sheet the girls will need to fill out if they would like to sign up for a club activity.

We began with high energy and inspiration on Monday and had the Fourthie Installation Ceremony. The Fourthies reviewed their responsibilities and proudly signed the Fourthie Promise to be good role models to the younger students. We shook hands and they were handed their Fourthie hats.

The girls continue to compare and order large numbers. They are rounding to the ten thousands place, practicing multiples and will be introduced to factors in the next few days. They had their first musical moment which involves listening to a popular song and incorporating math computations, which the girls loved.

Students created Buncee Slides that illustrated knowledge of Summer Reading, Because of Winn-Dixie, using setting; plot; characters; conflict; and theme, in an organized and fabulously illustrated way. They were shown how to copy and put their slides into a google doc. Have your daughter navigate to her google drive and show you her Buncee.

Fourthies in 4-C will be choosing a president to research as their first Social Studies Project to be completed in the classroom. Students will make their choice by Friday, September 21st. We are focusing on Presidents in the 20th century, but consideration will be made for individuals who have an affinity for a particular president. 

As a class read, we have completed The Hundred Dresses and will begin sketching, designing, and creating a paper dress with a "virtue" hidden in the design, during class.

Writing Labs are created for the purpose of having students learn the four genres of writing. Each lab has a specific focus and  is created in google docsto allow for real time editing and revision. We completed our first Lab and will be sharing each student's "Mystery Fourthie" on the bulletin board outside of the classroom.
