Friday

*Kids who scored above their Winter Reading MAP test received a McDonald's treat today from me! I let them choose between ice cream or french fries. I had to buy lots...yay! :) We will do it again next week for Math MAP.  AND I'd like to give a special shout to Peyton who was the ONLY one who thanked me! Way to use your manners, Peyton!!!

Friday!
 
    I hope everyone's Friday has been awesome! We had a busy day in 4th grade today!

Social Studies- We have started our Kentucky unit and kicked it off by making a salt dough map of all the regions of Kentucky. The kids formed the state, painted the regions, and outlined it with a fact about each region. We worked on this in the morning and also after lunch. They look awesome!! The salt dough recipe is super easy, 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, and 1 cup of cold water.

Reading- The kids finished up their reader's theaters. We switched for an hour this morning so we could get it in.We picked out the climax of each play and they were so good!!!

Math-We had a shortened math groups time because of the social studies. We squeezed in factors, multiplication, and word problems in 30 min!

Writing- We finished up our poetry this week by sharing some of the poems. They were so creative and cute! I will have these graded and sent home next week.


Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy the carnival! Happy Birthday to Charlie and Mrs. Burton!:)
