Marvelous Monday
It is so hard to believe that the last week of the school year has arrived. While I am looking forward to summer, I hope that his week doesn't go too quickly.
This morning the students had a chance to work on the ABC's of Fourth Grade and the Fourth grade brochure, both for Fly Up Day tomorrow. Then, after the announcements, we switched for math.
First, the children completed a session of Xtra Math. After that, we worked on a math project. The students designed a carousel that fit certain requirements which included seating 50 people at a time, and making at least $500 each day.
After enjoying lunch and indoor recess, the students continued working on the carousel project. At the end of math, we reviewed how to calculate whether $500 was a reasonable amount of money to make each day and the minimum number of people to ride each time, to earn $500.
After math, we reviewed last week's word of the week, indicate, and last week's puzzles. Then, we began sharing our Teach the Teacher projects.
In between sharing lessons, we had PE, in the classroom with Mr. Smith, and ate snack.

After enjoying lunch and outdoor recess, the students continued working on the party planning project.
I had to leave early today to be a mommy and help with my son's end of the year 5th grade party. SO, Mrs. M&M was here, in my place, this afternoon.
After math, the students will revise, edit, and publish the final draft of their poem.
Next, during the independent work block, they will complete the day 9 reading and job for their book clubs and then meet to discuss this section. After that, they will complete any unfinished work, including the using commas in letters practice sheet and the social studies quiz about the original 13 colonies. Then, they will work on a pamphlet, about 4th grade, to give to the rising fourth graders on Fly Up Day next Tuesday.
At the end of the day, the children will work on a class book, using Google Slides, called the ABC's of Fourth Grade. This presentation will be shown to the rising fourth graders on Tuesday. Each student, in my current class, has been assigned a letter. They will describe one aspect of 4th grade that begins with that letter and also create a Powtoon to go with it.

Thrilling Thursday
I did not post yesterday since it was WIMS Day.
This morning the students completed the Thursday section of the vocabulary sheet for our word of the week, indicate. Then, they worked on solving our weekly puzzles. After the announcements, we switched for math.
Math began with some classifying quadrilateral Kahoots to review and prepare for our formative. Then, we took the week 8 formative. This has been graded and returned to students.
After enjoying lunch and recess, the students took one last quadrilateral formative. These, too, have been graded and returned to students.
There is no math homework posted in GC this evening.
After math, we began our literacy block with a writing lesson. Today, we explored the way poets used and broke the rules for capitalization and punctuation. Then, the students looked over their own draft and identified which rules they followed and which they broke, and their reasons why they did so.
Next, the children went to music.
When they returned, they ate snack and worked on their independent work. First, they had to complete their week 8 formative comparing two accounts on the same topic. These were due today. After that, they worked on their day 8 book club assignments and met with their groups. Next, they finished their commas in letters practice sheets, using the screen cast, and their social studies quiz using the linkes posted in GC- Social Studies.
We ended the day by discussing preparations for Fly Up day when they get the chance to tell the rising fourth graders (current third graders) about 4th grade.
