We were lucky and had 2 specials today - Music and PE!  In our classroom we read two books by Patricia Polacco - The Bee Tree and Thank You Mr. Falker.  We have to finish Thank You Mr. Falker next week.  In math we did our first addition timed test, did an interest inventory, and learned how to play Rotal!  The lunch line was faster today!  We also played a game to compare good and bad choices.  After reading The Bee Tree we made folders to hold our goals for the year and decorated them.  What a busy day!

The First Day of School!

Today was our first day in 4th Grade!  We learned all about the rules in our class.  We had PE and we played rainbow tag.  We all ended the day on blue for making good choices - this earned us a smiley face!  We learned about the new lunch routines.  We liked them, but it took us awhile to get through the line.  We did a fun scavenger hunt around our room.  Ms. Beatty read us a funny story about what teachers do after school.  We learned about the recess procedures too before we played.  It's going to be a great year!

We came in and did math or read our books.  We did a rotation again today.  We weren't sure if we would get to go to the picnic because of the rain so we watched a movie for a while.  Then we went on the picnic!  When we got back we read our books some more and had Dylan's birthday treats.  Then it was time for recess.
