Welcome to Fourth Grade...
***Carnival Alert***
Volunteers Needed
Please sign up to work a shift at our class sponsored ice cream booth. We have spaces available for all time slots and desperately need more volunteers. The sign up sheet is posted outside our classroom. Email me to sign you up if you can't make it inside.
We have started our new fine arts planner, Art History 101! The fourth grade will be working with a Houston-based artist throughout this planner. Liz Conces Spencer has designed 3 art lessons that she will share with our students. Follow this link to see some of her beautiful artwork... http://www.lizconces.com. We are currently working on mosaic art with Ms. Spencer.
Stay tuned for more class news! Take a look below for more of what we are working on this week:
Math: Unit 6 - Multiplication and Division
Reading: Greek Mythology
Science: The Human Body
Social Studies: The 6 Flags of Texas
Current Planner...
Art History 101
Central Idea: We express our ideas, feelings, and beliefs through art.
An inquiry into...
*reasons behind expression
*different mediums of art
*the impact of a piece of art on others
Homework...
Homework will be assigned daily and is due the following day. Occasionally assignments will require more than an evening to complete and should be turned in by the given due date.
*Many students have expressed an interest in working on independent projects. These are extra credit projects and are not required homework assignments. Students may have some time to work on these projects in class, but many may have to work on them at home as well. Please let me know if you have any questions about this new activity.
Snacks...
Students often work up an appetite during our long afternoon. Students can bring a healthy snack to enjoy in class. Please send dry snacks like crackers, popcorn, pretzels, etc. If you send fruits and veggies please wash and prepare them.
