As a reminder, the 4th grade gymnastics jamboree is scheduled for Tuesday, April 12 from 1:30-2:30. Mrs. Smith asks that parents and relatives stay for the whole show, regardless of when our class performs. I am looking forward to seeing their hard work, and I know the students are excited to show off their skills!
This week we also started studying our next region of the U.S., which is The Midwest. Student's took a check-in quiz today to help them determine what to study moving forward, and the final quiz will be on Friday, April 15. That quiz will include the state locations, postal codes, sub-regions, and capitals. Criteria for receiving an advanced score is also included in the study guide.
Today we capitalized on the fact that third graders were on a field trip and our class was able to use the gym for Team Game. The team captains, Kendyal and Nina, did a great job planning, and students really enjoyed playing cat and mouse using the parachute. Below are some pictures.
I also shared with students that our class is representing Morocco this year for the Floral Street School Olympic Celebration. Every four years our field day is set up like the Olympics, and each class represents a country. We are excited to spend the next few months researching and learning about how to best represent Morocco. Do you know anything about Morocco? Leave us a comment below!
Have a great weekend :)
