Our class will celebrate the season with a fun craft project on Tuesday, December 23rd.  

Please send your child to school with a special snack so everyone can enjoy a yummy treat from home after we finish creating the craft.  Thank you!

Happy Holidays!!!

December in Room 49

Math -Division, division, division!  The students have been working very hard to learn new division skills.  In fourth grade we teach long division using the area model (box method) and partial quotients.  After learning both methods, students are asked to choose the strategy that works best for them.  New division skills will then be applied to interpreting and solving word problems

ELA -Greek Mythology!  We have been learning about the different characters and themes in Greek Myths.  This week the students will be performing reader's theater mini-plays highlighting some of the famous Greek characters.  In Writer's Workshop, they are creating a new god/goddess and writing an original myth.

Social Studies - The Southeast Region -we are learning about the physical features, climate, products, resources, landmarks, and culture of all 12 southeast states.  This week students will create a "license plate" highlighting a SE state.

Science -the students are learning about the Periodic Table of Elements and atoms!

Pajama Program

Friday is the last day to donate to this wonderful cause.  I have attached a video with an overview of the Pajama Program.

On Friday, December 5th, MSES will have PJ Day.  Students are welcome to wear pajamas (with regular shoes).  Our class may also bring in books, board games, a blanket or sleeping bag, and a stuffed animal.  We will spend some time in the afternoon "relaxing" in our PJ's!

Thank you for your support!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!  

Nearing the end of the trimester....

Room 49 Update

This is the last full week of school before marks close.  Besides wrapping up some of our current units, the students will also be taking the Math and ELA Trimester assessments.  All students will receive their first report card on Friday, December 5th.

RAZ Kids!

Raz-Kids is up and running!
This week instead of completing a reading log, I would like students to read (and complete the quiz) for at least two Raz-Kids books.  It's easy...just use the Raz-Kids link, find your name, and start reading!  You can also access the program from any tablet, phone, etc.  The password for ALL users is fsarahb.  Happy Reading!
