Lani and Michelle show Attention to Detail
We talked today about the importance of crossing your Ts and dotting your I s.
The kids love learning this font and it helps their hands because it grows their fine motor skills.
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🦉

Lily brings in a bag of plastic that is as big as she is!!
The 4th Grade does a great job of making sure to keep plastic film out of landfills and waterways. The drop-off at school is a way to make sure that we take better care of our environment. Each thing we do is a positive step and what I love is the look on Lily's face about how proud she feels by bringing in her family's plastic.
THANK YOU!!
Scientists Every Day!! Ace and Eos work on the Experiment Together.
The word Science means TO KNOW and I reminded the kids that they have been scientists all their lives making observations, creating predictions, and collecting data. Today, they worked together with their job partner to see how many releases of the rubber band it would take to cross the basketball court.
They all did a 'marble-ous' job of cooperating and taking care of the materials we used and for that, they got 2 handfuls of marbles for our Mug of Marvelous Acts Mug!
Flag Detail-- Another Class Job-- Michelle and Luna get to raise and lower the Idaho State Flag this week.
Memorable Math Meal Menu--Lani and Emily say, "Veggies"!
We started with a little grammar-- alliteration-- and then built consensus on a meal for the people that are at the table. The kids had $50.00 to spend and what they didn't use, they could give to charity.
The meal math was a conversation about vegetables, meat, cereal, fruit, bread, a drink, and dessert. It was fun to listen to the meals they created from the insert from the Wednesday newspaper.
The 4th grade appreciates the subscription to the MPDaily News from a generous community member.
Math Talks-- Sharing our Process-- Gavin and Gabe in front of our class
The kids today worked on a problem from some information that we learned about the moon. Then they worked with the kids at their table to solve it.
And, after all this good discussion, each made a prediction and we collected the data and knew that another bar graph could be created to show their thinking.
Chugging along...🚂🤭
This will make you smile: First Day of 4th Grade
Everyone was present and ready for the day! Fun start!

Clarissssa loves Social Studies!🐍She needs to move around and stretch-- just like us. :)
While I was working in the classroom yesterday, I let Clarissssa, a 19-year-old ball python, have some exercise time and she headed over to the bookshelves which meant she was ready for school too!
The kids will see her in the tank each day and get to meet her (in person) in January, but when I feed her and clean, I let her explore.
See you all tonight for Open House!
Full Steam Ahead! This is our 2023-2024 MCS Theme
It is here! In one week, we will be on our second day of school together! Yay!
Here is a picture of the Planner that is used to write the Think Back and About or TBaA!! for each day. Also, we were given wonderful pencil pouches from Bridge Bible Fellowship.
We will live in a wonderful community and being back at school is totally part of wonderfulness!
See you soon, Ms. Bonzo
