Last week we finished up our land and water unit for science. The last project the students had to do with this unit is build a dam. They used all the knowledge the learned about dams from researching a dam, to construct one themselves. Everyone was very creative in building their dam. We had fun testing out everyone's dam.
4th grade started their measurement unit in math today! To practice our measuring skills, we had a measuring scavenger hunt. The students had to first read a riddle and think about what they were suppose to measure. After they figured out what they had to measure, they went and measured that object in the classroom! They had so much fun with this! Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break. We have had a great week of getting back into our routines after Christmas break. In Reading, we do daily 5 rotations. This week the fourth graders have no problem getting back into the swing of things. Before Christmas we started writing our own "Choose your own adventure books" and this week we are enjoying reading them in our read to self time! We have also been using parts of speech magnets to create sentences, and continuing to enjoy listening to book on our playaways. Like our reading time, we also do centers in math. We are almost done with unit 4. In unit 4 we have been working on expressions, equations, prime and composite numbers. To help us to better understand these concepts, we have been doing some fun activities in our centers. We have been using megamath, which is a program that is part of our math series. We have also been playing expression and equation jenga, expression go fish, and prime number war with cards. |
