Second day of Fourth Grade

I couldn't be more excited about my class!  We have already accomplished many things!

 

Yesterday they worked in groups and wrote procedures for doing different things in class. My goal for them was to write everything so if a sub came in they would know exactly what to do.  This was of course after we discussed the procedures.  I then had one person from each group stand up and present their procedure to the rest of the class.  They all did great! I will try to post pictures of their outcomes tomorrow.

 

Today we applied for our classroom jobs.  They seemed to have fun with this and really took it seriously. I told them I would have to go through their applications so it would probably be Friday before they found out their job.  We will be changing jobs every nine weeks.
We also went over the 30 boom challenge today.  I put a chart in their binders for them to record their books.

 

I am truly thankful for the experiences we have already had and looking forward to all the adventures this year is going to bring!!!

Moving On Up!

Well I found out this week that I will not be teaching the littles this fall.  I am moving on up and teaching 4th grade!  I am beyond excited for this next adventure in my teaching career!  I can't stop thinking about all the changes that I will have to make, packing and unpacking, and moving into my new room.  There are so many things that need to be done and thankfully I have some time left before school starts!! 

Summer has begun!

Our summer has already been packed full of fun adventures.  We love summer time and all the things we get to experience.  Here are some pictures to show just a few of the things we have done so far.

Summer Fun

I left my students to enjoy their summer by making them "buckets of fun" to take home.  There are math games with dice and cards.  There are ideas for family write nights and a list of 100 things to do besides watching t.v. or playing video games.  I found this on other blogs and loved it.  It took me 3-4 hours one Saturday afternoon to put it all together.  Also the help of dollar tree.
I miss my class, but  sure they are having fun no matter where they are!

Verticle Party Day

We played lots of games for our vehicle party.  There were many minute to win it games.  These are just a few...
