Summertime!

I know that some of you want to keep in touch over the summer. So here is a test to see who is looking at the blog! What are you most looking forward to this summer?

I am looking forward to reading new books, golfing, playing with my dog and going to the beach. And of course, teaching math for summer school!

CHOICE TIME!

You have one (half) day of school left as a fourth grader. We will spend some of the day watching the Don Edwards movies you all made. We will also try to finish Chasing Vermeer. Finally, we have to CLEAN the room.

With the leftover time, you have choice time. Obviously, we all have to be in the same place!

Here is your chance to discuss, pick and choose...

How would you like to spend your choice time? Why? When writing your comment, imagine you are trying to convince your classmates to choose what you are suggesting. After you post, if you read others' comments and you want to change your choice, you can repost. I will tally them all up in the morning to determine what we will be doing!

Change Starts with Me

All this year we have been learning how to be respectful, stand up for each other and fill each others' buckets (as well as our own!). Today we made a video about some of the things we learned.

What was your most memorable part of Project Cornerstone/Expect Respect/ABC/Non Name Calling? Please explain why!

Finally ready for Fifth!

WOW! Days away from being fifth graders! Watch out world, here we come! What are you most looking forward to in 5th grade?

Fourth is Fantastic

All year we have been reflecting on our accomplishments. What is your proudest accomplishment from this year and why? What did you hope to accomplish but didn't? What do you need to help you accomplish it in the future, if it is still a goal? Finally, what is your favorite memory from 4th grade?

You've got mystery mail!

What would you do if you received a copy of the mysterious letter? Explain!

Mysteries and Coincidences

Petra thinks that we are surrounded by coincidences and overlapping ideas, but that we fail to notice them. What do you think about this?
