A New Blog Page!!

Here are the posts from last week:

August 31st
A whole week already! I have to say that for my first week as a teacher and your first week as a fourth grader, we did a great job! There are some kinks to work out over the next weeks, but all in all not bad! Today was jam packed with finishing our posters, measure me, our grape activities, and poison tournament! Congrats to Meredith and Emily who are so far the reining champs. Have a great fun weekend. Remember to write me a short note about the past week. See you Tuesday!

WHOA! What a radicool rothman day! Today we got to join forces with Mr.Roth's class for a lesson in observing and inferring grapes, raisins and seven up. Each class did great. We also started our "Measure Me" project, which should be ready for Back to School on the 10th. Tomorrow we will find out who is better - Rothman's or Lawson's at POISON!!! Ultimate face - off. Hopefully come Tuesday (NO SCHOOL MONDAY) a student from my homeroom will be updating the blog. And guess what, TOMORROW is FRIDAY!!!

Alright my homeroom, its time to really think about what committee you want to be on for the next nine weeks! You will be the first, so be ready to pave the way for the next group. Review those committee sheets sent home and make those tough decisions. I thought the measuring scavenger hunt was a success! You all did a great job in your partnerships. Remember you are fourth graders now and it is time to take control of your learning, so don't forget to self-analyze and decide if your choices are helping you succeed. Those science posters are looking pretty slick, now we just need to finish them!!! Today was crunched for our super awesome cool experiments in science UT presentation. My homeroom was excellent for two assemblies in a row now, keep it up!

Whew! What a day! We switched rooms for the first time and I was able to meet Mrs. Wotring's students. I am trying my hardest to learn these names... it might be awhile. Today we created our own personal meter sticks and did a great job listening and following instructions on such a particular assignment. We also worked on Science Safety Agreement posters, which those forms need to be signed and brought back. By the way great job to my homeroom for getting their agendas signed. Parents feel free to leave me notes in the agenda, as I will be checking it each morning. Now I'm off to get ready for tomorrow and finish up those class committees lists.

What a great first day! Waking up so early makes me really want a nap, I am sure some of you are pretty tired too. Today we had the chance to make flying machines in our tabled groups. We also learned about the traits of a champion through reading Wilma Unlimited By Kathleen Krull. Our class was complimented by Dr. Robinett in the hallway and did an excellent job paying attention in the assembly, even though we were so far back! So you guys should be proud of that!
