We ‘kicked’ off this short week with one of the kids’ favorite greetings -the shoe greeting! With their eyes closed, they pull a shoe from the pile and have three guesses to figure out whose it is. When they return the show to its owner, a greeting is exchanged.
We spent some time reviewing the nine morphemes we have learned this year, and we will move on to a new group next week!
This week, the students finished writing, editing and typing their ‘Special Place’ pieces. They chose places such as lakehouses, camps, the beach, and even Starbucks! Their pieces are brief but include lots of sensory details and similes.
Once the piece had been printed, they were off to illustrate! You can see the finished products on display in our hallway.
In social studies, we finished labeling our maps of the Northeast region. 4E had time to read the first chapter in our text, and 4M will begin the book next week.
We also read Ch. 12 in Charlotte’s Web. In this chapter, Templeton the rat is sent to find words that Charlotte can weave into her web to save Wilbur’s life. Just like him, 4th graders scavenged through magazines and cut out words to put on our web.
We have also continued the work on our Diary of a Spider/Pig project this week.
4E had fun with a new game – Boom, Clap, Snatch, and a silly greeting that we called the Home Alone since their faces look like Kevin McAllister.
