The 2011-2012 school year is off to a good start. Students were in their seats and ready to learn last Tuesday August 9th. So far our class is fairly small, as fourth grade goes, but this will probably change as the class numbers are balanced across the district.
This week students were introduced to interactive math. Our math lessons this week centered on Place Value, which is a Number Sense standard. Students used the interactive tools of our Promethean board to review and learn place value. We even used the transponders so that everyone was participating in the lesson.
Students started their 4th grade science journals. Our first entry was a field study of biotic (living) and abiotic(nonliving) things in our field lab, also known as, our 4th grade garden.
In language arts we reviewed all the reading strategies that are used in our Houghton Mifflin language arts book. Students made a foldable to help them remember and put the strategies into kid language.
Physical Education this week was a walk in the grass. Students ran/walked their first mile as fourth graders. Afterwards students worked on their frisbee skills, catching and tossing, using the traditional underhand throw.
