I'm back! Sorry there was no blog post yesterday but I was down and out with a fever and chest infection. Thanks to all the sweet fourth graders for making me feel so welcome today.
This morning students wrote their vocabulary quizzes and then we went down to the stage to practice for Student Showcase. Today was our first time practicing with microphones and headsets and I think it's really coming together. Keep up the good work!
During Science we completed our Venn diagram comparing and contrasting food chains with food webs.
We had an exciting surprise this morning. A former Dominican teacher who is now back living and teaching in Canada, Miss Scott, and I have arranged for our classes to be transcontinental pen pals. Our first batch of letters arrived this morning! We will be working on our responses throughout the week.
In Math we reviewed yesterday's lesson, taught by the grade 5 teacher Mr.Mckeen, and then we learned how to estimate products by rounding factors.
During Social Studies we learned about the 18th amendment and prohibition.
Have a splendid evening and see you all tomorrow!
