Book Fair

This next week we have parent teacher conferences and the book fair will be here at school!  PTO has done a wonderful job decorating room 9south; they have a great selection of books.  There is a classroom wish list at the book fair and this year we are trying something new.  The scholastic book fair is now offering online shopping as well.

If for some reason you can't make it to the school to do a little shopping, you can do it online instead!  We even have a classroom wish list online (wink, wink).  This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage your progressing reader to become excited about reading.  For my students, what are some books on this page that you would love to see in our own classroom library?  Tell me in a comment and I will add them to the classroom wish list!

Goals

Now that you have begun your year as a 4th grader it's time to develop some personal goals. First, you have to understand what a goal is. In your own words, I want you to give me a "kid friendly" definition of what you think a goal is. Once you have defined it I want you to come up with 3-5 personal and academic goals that you would like to focus on this year.  You need to be specific with your goals and don't write things like, "I want to do better in Math."  That isn't a specific enough goal to work on. Be sure to leave your answer as a comment, to help I would first write your response into a Microsoft Word Document so you can check your spelling and grammar.

End of the Year

This is now our last week together in fourth grade, I know that I am going to miss you.  I want you to tell me what some of your favorite parts of fourth grade were.  What did you enjoy the most, and what did you NOT enjoy! 

Scholastic Goosebumps Graphix

Goosebumps and Scholastic have teamed up to give kids a unique opportunity to create their own unique scary stories!  The students can insert graphics and bubbles for text so that it looks like a real life comic strip!  Click here to make one for yourself. 

U of A History Museum

Today we went down to the history museum to learn more about Native American pottery here in the Southwest region. It was very fun and informative, o think we are all very excited about our pitfire coming up soon!
