I texted Mrs. Gleason to see how Friday went and she shared all went well and that the kids were pretty excited to put out their leprechaun traps. I sure hope they kept the little guys away. We shall see Monday morning!!!! There sure was a lot of gold in those traps, and I am a little worried that might have attracted those naughty green fellas. Hmmm....
Hopefully all kiddos got a good start on their volcano project. If using our recipe, it takes at least 24 hours to dry before it can be painted. Waiting till the last second will not work on this one I am afraid. After seeing the traps however, I know I am going to see great things here as well. Please remember to feel free to join us for the eruptions this coming Tuesday at 2:15 outside on the playground. KaBOOM! If your child got a jump on this project this weekend, please write JUMP in the planner for $20 tomorrow.
This week will be a full week of academics and learning. I can't believe quarter 3 is coming to a close and we will soon be in the last quarter of the 4th grade. WHAT! How did that happen??? I am no where near ready to say goodbye to this group! They are so fun and easy to teach. Love that they love to learn!
We will be back in MT History full swing starting tomorrow. Fur Trading and Buffalo Almost Extinction here we come!
In math we will continue on with converting measurements. This is a difficult concept. It is one of those that they either get or don't get, but when they do finally get it, they get it for life. We will work on it throughout the week, and you will see practice problems come home for homework. This will be a great intro before we do Metric Olympics soon. Kids will need to know how to measure to the nearest inch, half inch, and convert between measurements (cm to m...). They will also use graduated cylinders to measure capacity and balance scales to measure weight. Fun! First things first though, they need to get the basics. That is what we will focus on this week.
In science, we will finish up our Pangea unit and be ready for our field trip the following week to the Dino Lab. Mrs. Hankin's class goes this Friday, so I can't wait to hear all about it before we go! I still need one volunteer if you are interested. Just text me and let me know. Thanks.
Mrs. Grewell will be back this week again in reading class. Now that we finished the Trail of Tears, we will do an activity called Tablo. I have never done this, so I am excited to see how it all works too. She is such a talented teacher! We will also finish up our Bernie mystery novel and our read aloud book called, Petey this week. Then we will hit Unit 6, ecosystems, in LEAD 21. Animals, animals, animals!
Above, are the pictures from last week that I shared about in earlier posts. We sure had a fun time celebrating the Irish! Have I ever shared that going to Ireland is on the top of my bucket list? It is something I have always wanted to do! Someday!!!!
Lastly, I hope you have a wonderful Sunday! I know I sure enjoyed mine at church this morning listening to Mr. Goodheart and Mr. Ashcraft sing and play the piano and guitar. Two talented fellas there!
