In Class Right Now by Phin and Scarlett



Writing


Lately in writing we have been writing persuasive essays about why the
Books in Action party should keep going. There is a chart that we are using
to do our writing. It is writing down your persuasive essay, revising it, editing
it and finally publishing it.πŸ‘




Math


In math we are just finishing our geometry unit and starting our addition and
subtraction with large numbers, and we are learning about the US standard
algorithm.πŸ˜ƒ




Reading/ Science

In reading we are reading about natural disasters and at the end of this unit
we are going to get put in groups and make i-movies about it. Our topics are
tornadoes, climate change, tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes,
avalanches, droughts and finally blizzards. And just a little teaser our next
science unit is going to be energy.

Science by Scarlett

Fourth  grade has been working on animal adaptations.  

The Hitchcock Center has been teaching us about animal
tracks. One week ago we went outside to find animal tracks
and a few days ago we looked at skulls of animals.

Vacation! by Phineas

Right now we are on vacation so
we aren't doing any work!😊 but soon
vacation is going to be over and we will
be back to school and doing lots of
new stuff. We will have new science,
math, reading and writingπŸ‘.
In my next entry I will tell you about
all the new stuff we are doing.

February by Phineas

Math
In math we have been doing geometry.
We have been learning about different angles
and lines.We have also been using power
polygons and using smaller shapes to make
bigger shapes. For example we have been
using shapes to make quadrilaterals, triangles,
and much more.    


Blizzard bags
If you don’t know what they are they are bags
that have 2 and a  half hours of work in them.
If we don’t have school then we don’t have to
make up the day at the end of the year.
Some kids like them because we don’t have
to make up the day at the end of the year.
And some kids don’t like them because
you have to do work on snow days.


Science
In science Mr. Ted has been coming in
and teaching us various things. Some of
them are earthquakes, erosion and next
week he is going to be teaching us about
animal tracks!


Reading


In reading we just started our nonfiction unit
and we are doing Newesla articles and
Scholastic News and a lot of other informational
books.
