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🦉

Fantastic Performers from the Cleo Parker Robinson Ensemble!
Festival Dance did it again bringing a suburb group to our community.
The kids learned so much about the language of dance on this first field trip!
Our second field trip is next Friday to the Latah Library. Details were sent on Sept. 2 by email and the kids will have info in their Planners when they come home to you tomorrow. Hope you can meet us there!
Thanks, Ms. Bonzo🦉
Former 4th Graders, now Middle schoolers, helped carry bags this morning!
We want to continue to spread the word to get this material recycled!
Thanks Josiah, Justin, and Trenton!
Making Observations and Asking Questions with Ms. Bonzo Beans!😂
The kids learned a lot about the garbanzo beans today and on Monday, we will do an experiment with them. here, Josilyn and Quinn write in their Science Notebook as they study the plant. The Palouse is filled with many things that are so interesting to study.
Practicing the math sentences (equations) for how the Place Value Chart works, then the kids started Lexia practice.
For math, each set of partners had to write the pattern of what happens to the value of each place when the value is one place to the left.
That means that 100 is 10 times greater than 10, or 10 x10 = 100.
Good Practice! Then more dissecting language with Lexia. It helps teach structure, vocabulary, and spelling. More Good Practice!
Writers Share Their Work-- Zoe and Jesper
Today was the first time in 4th grade that the kids shared their writing. They worked in pairs that were matched by me and then followed a criteria list by helping each other by asking a question, making a suggestion, or giving a compliment.
We have worked on revision and what it takes to make our writing communicate what we want.
Using our Google Classroom to take Math Readiness Test
The kids start with their Doceo Accounts to log in and then go to the 'waffle' by their name and click on the classroom icon. From there, they joined my 2022-2023 class. In this virtual space, we will be able to do all sorts of curricula. This is the support for the textbooks in our class.
Today they started taking the math assessment to see what they remember and what they need to learn. They use their math notebooks to do the work. They are learning to take notes as they work and see their notebook as a place that shows progress. We will get back to it on Tuesday.
4th Grade! First Days Together
We were in our Morning Meeting and had just made a Human Bar Graph to analyze our greetings! So fun to show them lots of ways to use math as a tool.
We are off to a great start!
Clarissssa🐍 popped out to say "Hello"!
It is 'getting ready time' and even Clarissssa feels it as teachers have been back working in their rooms.
🌼I am excited to welcome my new 4th-grade class! WELCOME!😊
We will get to build on all they did with wonderful Ms. Pyle!
Looking forward to seeing you all at the MCS Open House! You can bring in supplies and leave them here and then on the first day of school, we will get everything sorted.
See you soon! Ms. Bonzo🦉
