Happy Friday,

I am looking forward to reading with you today!  I think we are just about ready to get into our normal routine!

Please order your lunch and bring your planner, take home folder and book to your desk. I'd like you to look through your expressions in your math notebook from yesterday.  Can you add any new ways to make the various numbers?  Circle  your favorite expressions for each number!

Good morning Students,

I am glad you came back today.  Please order your lunch and park your lunch box on the shelf.  While you are up, please put any forms and notes in my mailbox.

Next you should have your planner, take home folder and book to read on your desk.  As you wait for the announcements, please read over the poem you picked out yesterday.  Think about why you chose that poem!

A Day

Dear 4th Graders,

Hello and Welcome!  I am so glad to have you here in Room B3!  At this point, your backpack should be hanging on the hook and you should have washed your hands.  This is the first step of  your routine each morning!  Next, you should order your lunch.  Do this by moving your name stick to the correct area on the black shelf.

To find your seat, please walk around the room...you will find poems in many places.  Read the poems, and when you find one that you like, that is your seat for now.  While you wait for the next direction you should read the blue pamphlet.

Stefano will do the announcements today.

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey

Welcome to 4th Grade!

Dear (Almost) Fourth Grader,

Hello!  I am so excited to meet you this year.  I have been working in our classroom so we can get right to the work of learning on September 5th.  Below you will find some pictures of our classroom. I hope they give you an idea of what fourth grade will be like.

Your first homework assignment is to view these pictures and then, with your parent's permission, leave a comment on this post.  You can write a question you have about fourth grade.  You can also leave a sentence describing what you are looking forward to.  You should only use your first name whenever you leave a comment on the internet.  Please complete this assignment by September 4, 2018.

This is the Foot Power pad that powers one of the laptops in our classroom.  You will use this to get some physical exercise while you are also giving your brain a workout.

This is our class library.  You will read every day.  I challenge all of my students to earn a place on the Reading Wall of Fame.  I will tell you how to do this during the first week of school.

Here you see our Science and Social Studies center.  We will learn about many topics related to Science, History and Geography.  You will get study guides and have tests in each unit.  We spend a lot of time learning how to study for these tests.  We also do a lot of hands-on work as we are learning.  

 This is one of the groups in our room.  You will sit with 4-5 other students to do your work.  You will be responsible for keeping your desk and the black bookshelf neat and organized.  

This is my work space.  I am in charge of keeping this space neat and organized.

Thank you for visiting this blog.  I will see you at school on September 5th!  Be sure to leave a comment or question below in order to complete your first homework assignment.

Kindly,

Mrs. Harvey
