News & Notes:

  • Thank you to everyone who came to Day 1 of our conferences.  It was great to hear your child tell the story of their learning in 4th grade.  I look forward to seeing everyone else on Monday!  The kids have worked really hard to prepare for their meetings.
  • Science Fair - Information on Bennie's annual Science Fair came home this week.  This is a great opportunity to investigate and explore science at home.  I encourage everyone to participate.  This optional project will not be graded in our classroom.
  • Field Trip - In this season of Thanksgiving, and as we have been discussing how to serve the common good in our community, the Kids in Room 107 will be going on a field trip to deliver baskets of muffins to the Allen Park Fire Station, Police Station and Nursing Home.  There is no cost for this field trip - but if you are willing to send in a box of muffin mix or a few eggs check out our wishlist!  We'll be a muffin baking factory on Monday!

What are we learning

  • Math - Our focus until Christmas will be on double digit multiplication and division.
  • Daily 5 - Students who score less than 75% on a word study spelling test, instead of EEKK reading (reading with a partner), they will work on their word study words for an extra round.  This will give the kids who need it extra time to practice.  
  • Biography Projects - The kids really worked hard on their projects.  Presentation Day was a fun day in Room 107! 
  • Science - We are turning our focus to the study of electricity & electrical circuits.  We are in need of old electronic toys for a class project.  Toys do not need to actually work and will not be returned (think Sid's backyard in Toy Story!).
  • Social Studies - We will be starting our unit on the Regions of the United States and geography in general after Thanksgiving.
  • Cooking - This week we'll be making muffins, muffins, muffins!

Upcoming Dates:

  • Monday, Nov 23 - 1/2 day and Parent/Student Conferences
  • Monday, Nov 23 - Cooking muffins
  • Tuesday, Nov 24 - Common good field trip
  • Wed-Sun, Nov 25-29 - Thanksgiving Break

Wishlist:

  • 2 dozen eggs
  • 144 muffin cups
  • Boxes of assorted muffin mixes (we will make 4 dozen for each stop ... plus some for us!)

Ask Me:

  • If you could pick one thing that you are most proud of in 4th grade so far, what would it be?
  • What is the theme of this month's Monday Morning Movie Clips?  What did this week's clip make you think of? (we watched a scene from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory")

I am sending 90 muffin cups and 2 mixes of lemon muffins. What a great idea!
