September

What a Month!  Its been amazing getting to know each individual student over the past month.

We have already explored:

Math- how to tell time using an analog clock, how much time has elapsed and we will be discovering the 24 hour clock.

Social Studies- exploring ourselves as an individual and our culture and /or traditions

Science- The life cycle of the Salmon (our arts theme this term)

LA- non fiction reading strategies, prefixes, suffixes and root words, and inferring

Career Education- how to follow the KSA school matrix and classroom expectations, fears and strengths as a student through dreamcatchers, how to be an ideal student, setting goals as a 4th grade student, qualities of a friend and perspectives

We also put on an amazing bake sale where we raised money for fieldtrips this year.  Thank you parents and guardians for all your support and help.

Today was the Terry Fox Run!  I was super proud of the class as they treated this run with maturity, determination and passion.  They all chose someone to run for, whether it be someone who they admire or who is or has had cancer.  Ice cream and water ballons was great to end the run!

Now to take on October!!!
