Welcome to the Fourth Grade. Planning on you having a wonderful
year of learning with your classmates and me! This blog will provide a
"window to our learning" for you, your families, relatives and
hopefully many others. (What I love about this blog is that you and
your families can leave a comment in the section below!)
Fourth
grade is such an exciting year. We will spend the first week or two
getting to know one another and working on some team building
activities. We will also spend time building our reading stamina. We
will start out small and reach the goal of reading at a sustained pace
for 30 minutes! You will be hearing a lot about the Daily5 which will
give you many CHOICES on your reading journey. This year we will continue with our new
math program called EnVisions. I think you are going to enjoy learning
math with the help of this program! I have some new and exciting lessons planned in Science and Social Studies as well.
During the summer I went to a conference and found some great websites that will help us as we are learning and make your days in our classroom exciting and fun. An app I hope to use in the classroom is called "Plickers" and the other is "Do Ink". We will be using "Class Dojo" to keep track of homework! Let me know if you can find out anything about any of those apps!
We are going
to have a great year! Looking forward to meeting you and getting to
know you. Please fill out this "All About You" Survey. (click on
these words: All About You) It will help me get to know you before we meet face to face! Click and you can get to know more about ME!
Please leave a comment below and tell me something that got you excited this summer!
I'll be looking out for you on the first day of school.
For my birthday my parents got me a gift certificate for a flying lesson. My first flight is tomorrow. I will spend a half hour on the ground learning how to do a flight check and how to taxi, then 1 hour in the air. My flight is at 5pm at Norwood airport so look to the sky!!!

Kieran,
DeleteHow exciting to be able to take flight! I will certainly look to the sky at 5 p.m. and be thinking about you. I can't wait to hear all about it. In my family there are 3 pilots (but never did they start at such a young age as you!). My uncle used to fly for Pan American Airlines, my brother and sister both are able to fly small planes.
I hope your folks will take pictures of you so you can share with the class! Have fun and I'll see you soon.
