Fact Family Pumpkins! 

Students learned about multiplication, factors, and fact families in math. They then created pumpkins with a fact family triangle for a  nose. Some very "Spooky" math! 

Learning about Native Americans!

Students in fourth grade identified different Native American land regions across America using our new interactive board and light pen! 

Maryland Map Investigation!

Students in fourth grade identified cities and land forms in Maryland by looking at large road maps of our great state! 

Science Lab! 

Students in the fourth grade are learning about scientific investigation by conducting experiments and collecting information. Fourth graders are analyzing data by weighing food from their lunches on a triple beam balance. Students were broken into four groups. They picked out objects from their lunches to weigh. After students weighed the objects, they recorded the data in a data chart,and added up a total. As a class we then analyzed the data, and recorded the class results. We discussed what objects weighed the most, and which were the lightest. Next we are going to take this data and create a bar graph.

Welcome back! I cannot wait to meet everyone in my new fourth grade class! Come by tomorrow at 1:00 to see the teachers take the ALS ice bucket challenge! 

Happy last day fourth grade! I will miss you next year!

Australian Pen Pal Letters!
We received a big package from the students at Campbell Street Primary School in Tasmania, Australia! The fourth grade students wrote letters to Mr. Kruger's 3rd and 4th grade class a month ago. We were delighted to get letters back from Australia! My class could not stop reading them and were delighted to learn about their lives. We especially liked learning about the sports kids play and watch in Australia- specifically Footy and Cricket! Thank you for the letters Campbell Street Primary School! We will write back this week!
