4th Grade

Course Description

Hi--
I thought it would be fun to let you know that this is another way that you will be kept up to date with things that we do in 4th Grade.
 
Thank you for signing up to come in on Monday or Tuesday.
I wanted to send out a note to let you know that I will pick you all up in front of the Middle School at your scheduled time. We are trying to make sure everyone knows how to come on to campus. It helps the kids see that we will only pass on the east side of the building.
 
You will get to see the 4th Grade BackPack and the Line-Up Location are in the same place that it was last year the elementary building's south entrance. There will be a sign there.
 
It is here that I like to post pictures of the kids doing interesting, or fun things. The picture attached is of Clarissssa in case you haven't met her yet. She is a wonderful class pet. I attached the Supply List again, just in case you need it. 
 
Thanks, Ms. Bonzo🦉

Taking a Narrative Apart 
 
Character, Plot, and Events are the foundation for stories whether fiction or nonfiction. The kids had a chance to talk about their reading after we reviewed what we did with the start of our class reading of Charlotte's Web today.
It is hard to believe that book will be 70 years old next year!

Emily creates the model with Base 10 drawings to demonstrate subtraction with REGROUPING.
 
The kids are creating the pictures for the math as it helps them explain what is happening. Several kids were chosen to come to the board to write what they did and explain the concept that we were remembering. They could check with the traditional algorithm.
The work was gooooooood practice!

Karissa explains her work about narrative nonfiction at the document camera
 
The kids are learning to 'turn and talk', take notes, and refer back to our lesson in the text to know if what they are doing fits the criteria of the assignment.
Once the sharing was at a midpoint, I had Karissa lead her classmates through her thinking. Her example of work fits all the parts of narrative nonfiction. We learned a lot about Walk Disney! 
We 'Raised the Roof' for her excellent effort!!🙌

4th Grade is going well! Day 4-- Tuesday, September 7
 
All the kids are learning to share table space, use resources carefully, and read, think, and share with classmates. It has been fun and exhausting as they all learn the stamina again for full days in person. But we wouldn't want it any other way. It is sooooo wonderful!💗
They are learning a lot in our Morning Meetings about each other and how our class will take care of each other and our space.
 
Parents/Guardians--🙌 Thank you all for signing Planners!

Cooperative Partner Work-- Deaken and Grayson share ideas
 
With their job partner, the students had about 15 minutes to 'notice and wonder' about the world and talk with a classmate about things.  The Social Sciences are so interesting and each pair was given a chance to talk together about things going on around them.
Plus, we did practice how to walk in line together (prepping for a field trip), learning to be safe by only talking with our Job Partner, and how to be efficient in transitions.
 We have had a very fun first 3 days together.

MCS 4th Graders on this beautiful day are as cute as ever!
 
I told the kids that family members would be so happy to see everyone in a class picture! 
 
It feels good learning together again!!
