Football Friday

This excited (and slightly caffeinated) teacher has been crazy blogging tonight, but I wanted to add one more photo before the night is done. Every Friday I take my lunch and recess and spend it with the awesome 4th graders at Independence. I love being able to learn with them all day, and then take some time out to eat lunch, toss around a football, play tag, or even climb on the jungle gym. I can't wait for tomorrow so we can have another adventure outside.

Winn Dixie Compare and Contrast Writing

This week we have been writing compare and contrast pieces surrounding Opal and Amanda from Because of Winn Dixie. We worked on this as teams, and were surprised at how many similarities these two characters had!

SE States Work

We had a busy week studying the Southeast region. Enjoy some of our pictures :) 

NE States

We just started working on the states! Each week we will focus on a different region and study those regions so we can share information about those regions with others. 

If you want to study at home, here is a great website with multiple games of varying levels that can be used for practice! States Practice

If you have items or pictures that you would like to share during theses units, feel free to bring them in and we will talk about those items. 

So far, here are some photos from our first day of the NE region. Enjoy!

First day of 4th grade

I really enjoyed being able to take first day photos :)

Be on the lookout for new photos as the year goes on!
