Working on book report projects

We've been busy reading non-fiction, creating posters, working on book report projects and having a class meeting.  Some issues that come up at class meeting was a heated discussion about whether we should change buddies or not, the possibility of a class pet and if we could paint the classroom and if so what color.  Lots of people volunteered to help out for craft afternoon; here's another related request--we'd like to have a "class decorating afternoon".  Students have also been working hard reading social studies reading on the West.  Click here for pictures.


fourth grade math parents: We are beginning a new math unit, Landmarks and Large Numbers.  The unit focuses on adding and subtracting larger numbers.
