We’ve been busy filling buckets in 4th grade. Each dot in a bucket represents one compassionate action.
We have been loving @breakoutEDU in 4th grade. Collaboration, critical thinking, and perseverance at its finest. @Central_brssd
Check out how many minutes we read for Reading Power. Way to go Rm 15 4th graders! Congrats to those who made the 1,000 minute club! @Central_brssd
Students had their first introduction to our class maker space on Friday! 5 minute rapid prototyping challenge: make a seat for “LEGO Duck”
Scientists are referring to evidence during small group discussions to create a model explaining what might be keeping the lights on in a haunted house with #twig science.
We’ve been practicing new and math concepts through partner games each morning. Who says “practice” can’t be fun?!
First we book shopped, then we read. We took all of the books off our class library shelves to see what types of books we have in our classroom.
At 17.5 inches tall, this spaghetti and marshmallow structure towered over the rest...and with a sturdy, free-standing base to boot! Great engineering, team!
My new batch of 4th graders = a creative bunch! We had a blast “toon”-ing ourselves and envisioning what our cartoon alter egos would look like. Colorful hair, exaggerated smiles, and animal characteristics.
4th graders learned how to make digital art using sketchpad.io during Art on Action. Thank you, parents, for introducing us to this great site! @Central_brssd
Welcome to Geometrocity! Where 2D and 3D worlds collide. All roads connect separate districts to create a realistic, collaborative class city. So cool! @Central_brssd
We’ve been using “one pager” templates to visually represent and categorize our thinking about the different books we’ve read during our Kate DiCamillo author study. Color, words, & images are key.
It’s almost time for...Geology Rocks! Join us for our 4th grade play performance day @Central_brssd
Today marks our 177th book read as a class. By the end of the year we will have exceeded our goal of 180 books. We have successfully read at least one book a day together all year long! So many different stories, genres, authors shared TOGETHER. #bookaday @Central_brssd
Combining geometry and storytelling by creating characters with tangrams. A fun challenge for everyone.
We LOVE the new Little Bits kits @Central_brssd! After tinkering and exploring, we built self-driving cars:
Inspired by Kate DiCamillo, we created our own fan fiction based on her book La La La. as an added challenge, we could only use the shape tool on Google Drawings to create our characters and settings.
