Cell Parts Scavenger Hunt

Last week we got outdoors to learn about cell organelles in a scavenger hunt around the playground.  Take a look!








Battle of the Books!!

Recently our class participated in Battle if the Books!  We had four fabulous teams within our classroom, and two of them made it to the next round!!! Everyone was able to contribute with an answer to a question they knew.  It was obvious that we had a lot of awesome readers in our room this year!  They blew me away with their knowledge on the characters, events, and authors of our battle books this year :)

Take a look at some of the pictures and videos taken from our classroom battle!

Inferring with Photos


The 4th Graders wrote inferences based on what was happening in a variety of photographs.  They then used the Strip Designer app on the Ipads to create a slide with their photograph and inference.  Afterwards, all the slides were complied on the Website Flipsnack to make an inference class book.  Enjoy!
