Ms. Munjal's surprise party was an amazing success!! I cannot thank you all enough for the time, donations, and support you provided to make the event happen. It was such a sweet memory for the kids and Ms. Munjal to share together :)

Through our economics unit, the students have been participating in a project where they became entrepreneurs! They have created their own company, business plan, product design, and pitch to present to investors just like on Shark Tank! We then reenacted the TV show where kids had the chance to play both roles. They did an incredible job asking relevant questions, using the vocabulary, and explaining their decisions for being in or out!

Happy birthday EDEN and JORDAN!

The students went around and said something that they liked or appreciated about them :)

In science the students have been learning about the three types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. These are classified by how they are formed and it can be tricky for the kids to remember the characteristics of each. So, we do edible rock investigations to solidify their understanding! This week, students used heat and pressure to mimic metamorphic rocks using Starbursts! It ROCKED :) Thank you again to all families who donated materials and we are looking forward to our next hands-on investigation!

Week Twenty One: January 31st-February 4th

Week Nineteen: January 17th-January 21st

Well....this week was a bust due to snow days, but I hope everyone was able to enjoy the unexpected time at home with your family!

Week Eighteen: January 10th-January 14th

Snow days, 2 hour delays, and district closings...oh my! This was a week of many unexpected schedule changes which didn't leave much time to take pictures :) One thing we really enjoyed this week was reading the science fiction story, "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury and then watching the movie to compare the events and our own visualizations! I encourage you to talk to your child about the story (which you can read here) and even watch the videos if you are interested!

Happy birthday kinzi!

The students went around and said something that they liked or appreciated about her :)

Week Seventeen: January 3rd-January 7th

It has been so nice getting back into our everyday routines! The students jumped right in this week by working on our next math goal of identifying factors and multiples. They worked together to complete a practice sheet, play related games, and solve a challenge problem as a class!

Week Thirteen: November 15th-November 19th

Since the beginning of the school year, we have been doing a reading unit all about a literal and figurative great heart! To support this learning, we teamed up with Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Nava-Eggett to learn about how love relates to a figurative great heart. Then, students thought about what love meant to them and designed a 3D printed representation online! Check out their beautiful creations below :)

In our classroom, students earn Dojo points when they are following expectations. They can use these points to buy class coupons! One of our most popular coupons is the prize box. This is definitely our favorite coupon because the kids get to choose a squishy! The students LOVE these adorable squishies and have even started creating some pretty impressive collections which you can check out below! :)

Week Six: September 27th-October 1st

Congratulations to our students who were recognized at this month´s PBIS assembly!

This week, the students began studying what it means to have a great literal heart through a book called, The Circulatory Story. They worked together to write down what they noticed and wondered about the text!

Week Four: September 13th-September 17th

Wow! I cannot explain how impressed I was with the kids and their ELA work this week! They have been studying the characteristics of a figurative great heart. To build their understanding, they researched famous people who have great hearts and wrote an informative paragraph on them. We are still finishing up this project, but click on the slideshow below to see some AMAZING student work for those who are done! You can click on each image to enlarge the writing.

Week Three: September 7th-September 10th

We had such a productive (and silly) week in fourth grade!

The students are doing a great job of putting first things first and then always making time for fun!

Since it isn´t a normal year and we could not do meet the teacher inside of the school, we thought it would be a good idea to give you a little tour of our classroom/home away from home :)

Week Two: August 30th-September 3rd

The kids did a great job this week in math by exploring tile arrays and identifying the factors of a number!

Week One: August 23rd-August 27th

Meet our amazing group of students! I cannot wait to see what this year brings :)
