Today fourth grade took a field trip with third and fifth grade to 1000 Islands Nature Center. There we learned how to use a compass, build a fire, and build a proper shelter in the wilderness. We spent our day exploring the outdoors and hiking the trails around the nature center! We also cooked our own hot dog lunch over a fire. It was a very fun-filled day in this beautiful weather! Take a look at our time at the nature center!

We are continuing to measure angles and learning about types of triangles. To reinforce this concept, the fourth graders made neighborhoods. They had to include parallel streets, as well as intersecting streets. When they were done making their streets, they then measured their angles of where the streets meet. Check out their great work! Fourth grade has just begun there last math unit of the year! In unit eight we will learning all about geometry, how to use protractors, how to find missing angles, and so much more. We have just started to learn how to find measurements by using protractors. Last week we practiced using our protractors to find measurements. The students had to first practice finding the degrees of each angle, using their protractor. When they were finished they got to check the answers using the iPad and qr codes. I hope everyone has a happy Easter! Fourth grade is having a wonderful Holy Thursday. This morning we got to perform the Last Supper play at mass. We all did such a wonderful job! I am very proud of all of them. After mass we had a little fun in math. Today we spent our time reviewing the concepts we have learned with fractions and decimals. To review, we had an egg hunt around the school! In each egg the students had a math problem, as well as a little treat. They had to each find 10 eggs and they did a great job working as a team to make sure they found them all! After they found all the eggs, they came back to the classroom to solve their math problems! Fourth grade has also been working on writing about a Saint of their choice. They are writing "A day in the life of..." photo journals on their saints. They are really enjoying this project and cannot wait to see the final pieces. We had a great Holy Thursday and hope everyone else did as well!
