Another NEW WEBSITE

Here is a chance for the students of Room 301 to see how they compare in math to students ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!  This is such a cool website.  Students have their very own password and username to practice.  It is definitely work checking out!!

GREAT NEW WEBSITE FOR STORYTOWN (READING)

I found a great new website to help students study and practice the focus skills of the week we are working on.  Students know the focus skills of the week because we discuss it everyday.

https://ep-storytown.wikispaces.com/4thGrade

Make sure on the Left side of the screen you click on 4th grade and then go to the correct Theme we are working on.  Currently we are finishing up the 4th theme with focus skills of “theme” and fact and opinion!

Feel free to practice and try as many things as you would like and let me know what you think!!!!

February

Room 301 just finished up Unit 5 in math, as well as, our Science Kit: Magnetism and Electricity.  We are starting the Thirteen Colonies in Social Studies and are finishing up our 4th theme in Reading.  We also started working on a persuasion writing piece. Students are convincing Mrs. Guy to keep or take away sweets in the classroom.  This is a big piece and will be graded throughout the process, making sure students are keeping up with the class.

NOTE: Students are working on their Delaware Book.  It is due on Friday March 6th.  There are plenty of opportunities to find the information online and in books that I have in the classroom.  If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me!
