Happy New Year and welcome back to school!  Below are some glimpses of the fun we had just a few weeks ago.  Don't worry, we've got lots of excitings things planned for 2009!

 

Enthusiastic Fourth Grade Students Clean Up Good Hope's "Sandwatch" Beach!

Our class is currently graphing the results of its search.  The students are amazed by the results!  Styrofoam products seem to be topping the charts, but fishing line and plastic are close.

Additional Information from your teachers...

 

Some parents have asked for recommended titles for their students to read.  In the true spirit of shared teaching, and in preference to spending a long time typing and formatting our own list, we would like to refer you to a web-page from Mrs. Renz's class website.  There, you will find a large list of title and authors appropriate for fourth grade reading.

 

Suggested Reading Titles and Authors

 

Another page we use from her site is the "No-excuse" spelling list.  It is a list of words every fourth grade student should be able to spell correctly-100 percent of the time.  We will not be spending time studying these words, but will add them to your student's spelling list for the week if we can tell they have not yet mastered the word.
