Fierce Fourth Graders: Thursday April 27, 2017

Hi everyone,

Another great day in grade 4!

After our meditation we jumped right into our next poetry lesson on cinquian poems. We composed one together about Dominican and then students wrote one on Anne Frank and a third on the topic of their choice. Their favorite of these will be added to their Poetry Google Docs tonight. Later, in Math, we learned about Stem and Leaf Plots. Even though it was a little confusing at first the kids picked up on it and we had a great lesson. In Science we went over last night's homework on changing states of matter and then they worked on review in preparation for the upcoming unit test.

This afternoon we had our final and most exciting day of the Invention Convention 2017! Our class was incredibly triumphant and had the MOST WINNERS IN THE UPPER DIVISION! Katie was awarded third place and a year long membership at the Science Museum for her Splike invention. Fiona won second place for her Fantastic Dog Feeder and Marianne was the big winner for her Relaxer Holder. I also want to give honorable mention to Ayrton for his Self Made Popcorn as he had the busiest stall all day and was only one point away from placing for an award. I am beyond proud of each and every one of you. Thank you for your hard work and good attitude throughout this whole process.
