Analogies
The class asked for this website to be posted since they had such fun playing it today: Analogies Jeopardy.
We have been working very hard getting ready for our programs today. We will be performing for the other classes at school and of course the grandparents! I hope everyone can attend the evening performance. We have asked the students to look their best, so everyone can take great pictures to remember one part of their fourth grade year.
In math class we have completed and tested on chapter 2. Some of the students are still struggling with addition and subtraction with regrouping. Please continue to work on this at home in the evening. If you can only spend 15 minutes it still will help! We will be moving on to multiplication next week, but will review other concepts frequently.
This week in reading we have been incorporating a bit of Spanish with a historical fiction story entitled Coyote School News. The students have enjoyed listening, reading and learning a little bit of Spanish every day!
Reminders!
*Market Day orders have to be placed by this Saturday at noon. All profit will go directly to the fourth grade classrooms. This is one of the best ways you could help out our classrooms and you don't have to do anything, but order great food to eat! We can also use parent volunteers to help unload the trucks and sort the food:-)
*We are beginning to finalize pricing for the extended day trip to Camp Campbell Gard on May 20, 2009. The estimated cost of the trip is $50.00. This includes lunch and dinner. We will leave at approximately 8:45 and return that same evening at approximately 8:00.
*Washington D.C. deposits are due to Crosswell by December 1!

Math Day
Thanks to Mrs. Maciag, a former CNE teacher, our students in grades 1-4 were able to participate in Math Day. Stations were set up around the school for students to practice their math skills using hands-on activities. Our class's favorite activities were problem solving with fruit loops and making a scarecrow after figuring out how much it cost to build one. Thanks too, to the volunteers who worked with our students today, especially Mr. Browning.
We recently received more postcards from Washington D.C. (Terra), Sterling, Kentucky(Haley) , Cottonwood, Arizona (Casey) and Seattle, Washington (Abbey).
Congratulations to Westin, Hailey and Terra for moving up in multiplication times tables.
This week's spelling words are irregular plurals. For more practice with irregular plurals, click here or here or here or here or here.

Biography Literature Project
This week every student made a literature project kit with all of the materials and instructions to make a hero sandwich. This project is optional-if a student would rather create his/her own project, that is great! Projects can be presented at any time before the due date-ask Lydia how good it feels to have hers finished!
On Thursday, the fourth grade students will perform their show "All About Ohio" three times-once for the second and third graders, once for their grandparents and in the evening at 7:00 for their families. Please take the time to come to one of the performances-the students have really been working hard to learn their parts and songs.
We will have a math test on Wednesday. It will cover addition and subtraction with regrouping, rounding and estimation, beginning algebra and properties of addition and multiplication.
