Why are rules important?

This week our essential question in reading was "Why are rules important?"  We read about rules in towns.  We read about laws the governement makes regarding fishing, food and even patents.

We finished up our money unit in math.  The math test will be coming home this weekend for your review and signature.  Overall, the students did very well.  We will be moving on to Geometry beginning with 2D shapes next week.  The fourth graders graciously allowed us to borrow their Chromebooks this week to play our favorite online math game, Prodigy.

In science we continued our Earth Day unit.  We made Earth Day books and Earth Day mobiles.


The students made service job puppets in social studies. The students were assigned an occupation. Then  they had to draw that person wearing the clothing and using the tools that the job required and write about what they did.

I can't tell you what else we did this week...It's a surprise!!
