I made tea. That's how our Writing Lab began. We watched a simple sentence expand into an imagery packed paragraph. The girls wrote their own descriptive paragraphs and focused on choosing specific verbs and adjectives to paint a vivid picture. Emoji writing was introduced this week. Fourthies really get a kick out of using emojis to write spelling and Wordly Wise sentences. Here's an example:
The 🙅🏼was severely mean to everybody in her class. The 🦏 weight was reduced, now he’s as skinny as a 🐍! The 🐇 nestled in his little hole.
Our first book project is underway-Taco 'bout a good book. The girls are creating a "book taco" and will share their "taco" next Wednesday. Our book share is getting kicked up a notch since the girls have earned their first 25 class compliments! We are going to have a little Mexican fiesta. I'm proud of the way they work together and they way they model our daisy petals.

History4Fourthies has us at the start of the 21st century. We are looking at key events including the spike in social media. On that note, I hope you had a chance to read Jim Astrove's article in Richmond Parent Magazine about digital responsibility. Our girls have unwavering moral compasses in regards to digital citizenship and I hope this never changes.
We reviewed Unit One in math by playing a variety of games (Bingo and Who Wants to be a Millionaire were a few class favorites), writing about math concepts, and pondering the world with EdPuzzles. Here's an example:
Unit One assessment will be on Tuesday; Unit Two will be packed with lots of complex problem solving and bar models will be BACK!
