Monday: We started our week off at the symphony. The buses always drop us off early which means we have to wait. We were glad it wasn't raining on us, but the kids were patient as we waited in the hot sun. We enjoyed several musical pieces from the Utah Symphony. You would have been proud of your fourth grader's symphony "etiquette!" They were all great.
Tuesday: We started our new math chapter on place value. We are learning to recognize numbers to the millions, including saying them, putting them in order, learning the values of the numbers and determining which is greater using the greater than and less than symbols. We will begin some rounding and reviewing of adding/subtracting with regrouping. This is a big unit with lots to cover. Math will keep us busy.
Wednesday: I should have taken a picture of our FIRST ever busy buck store this year. The kids had a great time shopping. A big thanks goes to Mrs. Pond for being a great store manager. We look forward to our next store in two weeks.
Thursday: After being shut in ALL day long because of a gas leak in the area, we created our salt dough landform maps of Utah. Thank you to everyone for sending in the salt dough. The kids REALLy enjoyed this activity.
Here is a look at the finished products:
Thanks again to all the fourth grade parents for your support at home. We are looking forward to the fun run and our Silver Lake Field Trip which are both coming up. Check the calendar to the right for important upcoming dates.
