The fourth grade is off to a great start this year! We've already classified shark teeth in science, talked about genres in reading, looked at different books for inspiration for writer's notebooks, and learned many of the routines students will need to follow throughout the year. We also began our first spelling unit, which will end with a test next Friday on September 9. (Spelling tests will be every other week.)

Students also met two people who will play an important part of this school year. Mr. Hugo is a seminarian who is studying to be a priest, and he will be teaching religion classes once a week. We also welcomed Ms. Amy Zangrili who is a student-teacher this year. She will be with us until mid-November, and brings a strong background in art and electronics which she will incorporate into the lessons she teaches.

Below, you can see pictures of students reading, feeding the worms in our worm bin, and looking at the shark teeth.

Welcome to a new school year!

As we progress through the year, I will be posting pictures and entries about activities we do in class, as well as information about upcoming tests and field trips. Right now, please feel free to look at previous entries so that you can see some examples for our projects, experiments, and other activities.
