And we're off! It's going to be a great year with all these awesome fourth graders!

Mission Impossible isn't impossible at all with team work.

Learning new vocabulary words and teaching them to the class!

Work hard every day and do your best! Be sure to read and complete your reading log. You need to read 100 pages per week. We'll celebrate every Friday with a self manager's celebration!

Math: Working with numbers to the millions place has been a math mouthful! Ask your mathematician about the many different ways we have been representing those big numbers.

Reading: Your reader should be able to tell you what it means to summarize a text. So far we've written a summary for "Living in Alaska" together. See if your reader can tell you about it. Learning about different genres to choose books for our nightly reading so we can pass cones is important so we had a "book tasting."

Writing: Painting using Jackson Pollock's unique technique led us into our first piece of writing. Ask your writer what we've put together so far. We've been working on learning words to help us jazz up our work. Your author should be able to tell you about interjections, strong verbs, adjectives, nouns, and adverbs.

Science: Our brain is an amazing organ! Ask your scientist what they know about how it works.
