Updates!

Another week has come and gone! Here's a sneak peek into our week in 4T.
  • We learned about angles, quadrilaterals, measurement, and lines in math. 
  • We did a Mystery Skype with a class in Iowa. We had a few technical difficulties in the beginning, and the teacher from Iowa said, "you must have one of the most patient, well behaved classes I have ever seen!" What a great compliment!  
  • We continued to learn about the early settlers of New Hampshire. 
  • We learned how to use dialogue in our writing to make our stories stronger.
  • We learned about character traits and discussed the characters in Tiger Rising and Fish in a Tree. 

Questions to ask you child about their week:
  • What was your job during Mystery Skype?
  • What character do you like the best from Fish in a Tree? Why?
  • What was life like for the first settlers of New Hampshire? 
  • Why was it important for settlers to live near rivers?
Odds & Ends
  • On Friday, October 23rd, we are heading to Old York! It is encouraged that children dress from colonial times. 
  •  Our Halloween party will be on Friday, October 30th at 2:15. Please feel free to stop by and visit with your child.  A big thank you to Maura Malark for organizing and to all those contributing! 

  • We used Google Maps to create maps of the first four towns in New Hampshire!
    We learned hand signals to remember the differences between lines, rays, points, and line segments!
