Reading
Charlotte’s Web is over and the students worked hard on their test and projects that were brought in for the 4th Grade Fair. Students were also excited to watch the movie of Charlotte’s Web in the afternoon and eat eachothers baked goods.
Science
WOW! Excitement in the air! Students are so thrilled about the stories that they are creating with their scientific research teams on spiders. They have gathered realistic facts and also fictional facts about spiders. When we are finished with the stories, students will be asked to design and bring in items to create a spider. We will be making or spiders the week of October 26th-30th. Look for more information on bringing in spider model items.
Mrs. Dambek/Drama
Mrs. Dambek comes into our room on Wednesday and Friday mornings to work with us on choral readings, drama, and how to become better actors and actresses. The students are working right now on picking out picture books and then using those picture books to create a reader’s theatre based on their book. She is really incorporating reading and writing into one. The kids love her coming into our room!
