Happy Veteran's Day!

Thanks to all who have served to protect America and its many freedoms!

We are so very grateful. Fourth graders participated in the "Millions of Thanks Campaign" to honor veterans. We wrote letters of thanks to be sent to those who have served or are serving in the United States armed forces. Ask your letter writer to share. 

Thanks to all who donated money to support the Ellefsen family! The pizza was yummy and the family felt the love!

Math: We went back and took a look at the metric system assessment to see if we could figure out why answers were incorrect. Moving onto the multiplication and division module now so we took the pretest to see what standards, if any, we may be familiar with as we are beginning. 

Reading/Science: Saying goodbye to our living organisms was difficult. Our investigations have concluded. Ask your scientist about the nonliving factor of salinity and how it affects the hatching of brine shrimp eggs. Inquire about the Mono Lake ecosystem. Science selections provided us with lots of information for the opinion piece we're working on. We read and took notes to gather evidence to support our opinion. 

Writing: The introduction is done and work on the body paragraph is under way. Ask your writer how it's going. 

This week's one to answer: Write the checklist symbols we use and what they represent.
