Week of January 19-22nd

Hello everyone, It's been quite awhile since the blog has been up and running. BUT...we are back in action and ready to keep you posted as to what we are doing in class.

Reading: We are in the middle of Secret of NIMH but we are also going to start reading The Chocolate Touch. We are reading this with the each 4th grade class. It's a short book that's going to introduce the students to the history of chocolate and what can become of a character when they over induldge.

Math: We are going to start working on FRACTIONS!!!! I like to make math hands-on when it comes to fractions so there will be a lot of in-class, mini-projects that deal with their math concepts. Fractions take up half of the 3rd quarter so we will have plenty of time to get this under our belt.

Writing Project: When we get back on the 26th, our 3rd quarter is going to start off with learning about Chocolate and how certain candies were created. The project is not a huge one but it is going to count as a writing grade. The students will work on this in class and with Mrs. Charpentier in Media.

**Upcoming Events: Jan. 28th--Gibson Store
