Fourth Grade News

This week we had many events as a whole grade!

On Monday, we began our week with our 4th Grade Community Meeting.  Our mantra this week was "We the People".  We chose this mantra to coincide with Constitution Day which is September 17th.


On Wednesday we celebrated our summer reading with story teller Len Cabral. He was amazing!  He told stories to the group, and shared his inspiration for his stories...READING!  Thank you to the Kennedy PCC for funding this.


Friday we enjoyed our second Creative Arts Friday!  During Poetry Workshop we continued to write bio poems.  We are enjoying sharing about ourselves.  During Technology Workshop we discussed Internet safety, and what is/is not acceptable to share on the Internet.  This would be a great conversation to continue with your child.  We also started to set up our digital portfolios. Stay tuned for more information about this!  During Project Based Learning (PBL) time, we continued to practice our cooperation/collaboration skills by working together to complete a task. There was a lot of discussion!  We are also working on having specific jobs during our class time, so that we all have a role in the outcome of our project.




Later on Friday, we gathered to talk about the US Constitution.  Tomorrow is the 224th anniversary of its signing.





Next week we welcome our Engineers in Residence!
