Fourth Graders in Math

By Azure and Leela

In fourth grade we’re at the beginning of our measuring and data unit. We have been making bar graphs and line plots. We have been measuring ourselves and the first graders! We’re comparing the data. We’re making graphs to represent the data. There is a range of 42 to 60 inches! Every one of use is making a graph of the data we collected. Our tallest fourth grader is Kieran standing 60 inches tall (the same height as our teacher Ms. Scott). Our lowest first grader Oliviya standing 42 inches tall. We’re rounding up to anybody who stands half an inch. But some people are making space for half inches!💙

Math by Nico and Irina

For the past few weeks we have been working
on arrays in math. We have mostly been using
tiles to make arrays but for the past 2 days,
we have been working on making charts of
numbers and making arrays for them.!
1+1=2 We’re smart!

Today we investigated  prime numbers.
There was one question that was
“What is the highest prime number through 1-100?"
And there was a group of 5
(Max, Ty, Phin, Kieran, and Nico that are still working on it)

But they think it's 97.😊

Assembly by Irina and Nico

Every other Friday we have a thing
called Assembly, and at Assembly if
people have things to share with the
whole school they can share. For example
Irina and Isla are singing A Million Dreams
from The Greatest Showman at assembly.

4th grade will be doing a surprise movement
activity next assembly on Friday, October fifth
(2 weeks from this post).

Please come!👏😊

Mapping!

by Irina and Nico

In the past few weeks 4th grade has been working on a mapping unit.🗺

We recently finished Help Lab so now we will have more time in the end of the day to work on mapping.

We’ve done penny maps, maps of the classroom, and studied a map of Massachusetts from Greenfield  to Northampton. Another thing we studied was map keys and how they work.

We will be continuing working on map projects today at 2:00.

 

Library Update!

by Nico and Irina

On the second week of school some people started to organize our class library.

It was a total unorganized disaster! 🙊

At the time we thought it would take us the whole year! ( but it didn’t at all!😊)

Now September 17, 2018 on Monday I have to say we have definitely improved! We have had super persistent  helpers know as Eden, Nico, Azure and Scarlett, out of them especially Scarlett has been working on it like almost every day!👍

And mostly because of Eden, Nico, Azure and Scarlett our library has definitely improved!✊💙👍😝

Poseidon's back! 😆

by Irina and Nico

Poseidon was gone for the first 2 weeks of school.

Now he’s been back for about 2 weeks and he’s back and hopefully better than ever. 😕

Our fish caretaker for this month is Phineas.

Poseidon is a beta fish.

And for once in awhile he is actually swimming in his tank😂!

He has been dealing with a swim bladder problem💩,😞 but we hope he’ll be better soon!💖
