Halloween Fun

Well, I know it's December already, the snow has been flying for a good month now, and Christmas is only about one week away, but it's never too late for some goofy fourth-grade pictures; especially if they're from Halloween!

The fourth-graders in Mrs. Winchell's classroom have been very busy this year and very fun! We've had a couple of pajama parties because of their outstanding behavior and a fantastic Halloween party that a committe of kids planned. They are now looking forward to what's in store for them on Friday for their Christmas party. It's going to be fun!

Hope everyone is enjoying their school year so far and we would love to hear from classes around the U.S., as we will be study states throughout the year!

Happy Holidays,

Mrs. Winchell & Class :-)

Greetings from the 4th Grade!

This week has yet been another busy one in Mrs. Winchell's class. Students began literature circles once again and are currently reading either Walk Two Moons, Ella Enchanted, There's a Hamster In My Lunchbox, or Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Everyone seems to like the ones they chose, well most anyway. With MCA testing this week, we weren't able to get too far into our books and next week we go on a three day field trip, so it'll take us a while to finish this round.

Mrs. Winchell's math students have begun to understand and learn how to use the process of long-hand division. They are doing fantastico so far! Hopefully too much isn't lost by the time we return from our field trip.

Students also started a new project on Thursday called the Famous Landmark project. Each child will select a famous landmark from the state they are studying and then will need to construct a replica of it using their creative minds and hands. Research is also required, as well as a written paragraph since they learned all about the research and writing process while doing state reports. She can't wait to see them all!

As mentioned above, the whole fourth grade will be leaving for the annual Eagle Bluff Evironmental Learning field trip on Monday and will be returning Wednesday. Classes the students will be taking are pioneer life, orienteering, animal signs, raptors, stars, insect, and a ropes course in the treetops. This trip is an amazing experience for all involved and we can't to tell you all about it when we return!

Thanks again for checking our blog. We hope you enjoy our writings!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Winchell
