This week we finished up our first beginning chapter book, Fergus and Zeke, concentrating on the story elements of characters, setting, problem, and solution. Tomorrow we will write summaries and type them, so look for those on Seesaw. We will also start a short non-fiction unit, learning about bats as well as learning a poem about bats and measuring the length of bats. Both of our third grade classes have walking field trips to Bird Hills this week. In math, we introduced fractions along with the vocabulary words "numerator" and "denominator." Pronunciation of these vocabulary words gets better and better every day! Our October science unit is about earth materials and landforms. I've included a photo of our anchor chart so you can see the vocabulary terms we are working on. I will send home their social studies workbooks from September. These can be completed as review over the course of the year at home, if you are so inclined.
October started with some 80 degree days, but I am hopeful for the return of more fall like weather. This week 4th grade had their environmental education field trip to the rock pit and also started the Songsters program. Each 4th grade class is collaborating with Joe Reilly to write a song and will perform these songs at the downtown branch of the library. This week we also started inviting some fourth graders into our classroom after lunch to play games and participate in other social activities.
