Good afternoon families! We have a great day getting to know one another and just some of the in's and out's for fourth grade, including deciphering the two Mrs. Williams'. We began our day with Morning Meeting in which students played a choice movement activity. Ask your child about some of the choices they had to make (ex: book vs movie). Students participated in other fun activities to get to know each other. In
"Find someone who...." we discovered that many of the students in our class have blue houses! Students also began the process of making our classroom rules by answering questions like...
Why is school important? What does Mrs. Williams need to do in order to help you be successful? Our classroom should be ____ everyday. What do I need to do in order to be successful? The two pictures below show students working in groups to add their ideas to each poster. Ask you child how we used colored dots to make these groups (there was a lot of giggling:)).
Your child also learned how to use their homework folder and assignment notebook to stay organized and complete homework. Your child's first homework assignment is the Brown Bag Mystery and is due Thursday September 1st.
These are also some of the silly books about school that we enjoyed today.
FAMILIES- don't forget to "follow by email" in the top right side of the page to get email notifications of new postings. I am looking forward to a great year together!
